The Glenn Beck Program - 6⧸12⧸17 - Time for Armageddon Al Gore to admit he was wrong？

00:00:00.160 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:08.360 Hello, America. It is good to be back.

00:00:11.300 We've been gone for two weeks, and you know what we found out?

00:00:14.260 Nothing has changed.

00:00:17.280 The same news, the same kind of...

00:00:20.160 Well, you know what? We actually, we can start with some good news.

00:00:23.960 There is news of a boycott, which I don't like boycotts,

00:00:28.380 but I have evidence that I would like to start with that will shock you.

00:00:35.060 That a company has decided, you know what? We can't be a part of that.

00:00:40.520 Now, there's good news and bad news on this.

00:00:43.300 I don't like boycotts for a reason.

00:00:47.140 However, common sense may not be so uncommon.

00:00:52.640 We begin there right now.

00:00:58.380 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:16.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:20.020 Hello, America.

00:01:23.940 Let me start with this.

00:01:25.360 Delta and the Bank of America have dropped their sponsorship

00:01:29.920 of something that they have a long-term sponsor.

00:01:32.920 Now, is art political speech?

00:01:36.960 Yes.

00:01:38.160 Can it be political speech?

00:01:40.040 Yes.

00:01:40.400 Does it have to be political speech?

00:01:42.080 No.

00:01:42.760 Is Shakespeare political speech?

00:01:45.100 I've seen Shakespeare, I've seen Macbeth done as they were all dressed as Germans

00:01:52.220 and they were Nazis.

00:01:56.440 You know, yes, it's political speech.

00:02:00.040 It was political speech when it came out.

00:02:04.420 Shakespeare in the Park has happened in New York City for a very long time.

00:02:09.840 Shakespeare in the Park happens in almost every American city, at least big city.

00:02:15.100 New York has decided to put Shakespeare in the Park and Julius Caesar on.

00:02:21.240 And what happened was Julius Caesar, instead of being dressed in a toga,

00:02:25.900 is dressed in a blue suit and a very long tie.

00:02:30.040 And it's set in contemporary America, and he's the president of the United States,

00:02:34.960 and he looks like Donald Trump.

00:02:38.160 And his wife speaks with a Slavic accent.

00:02:40.700 Is that a problem?

00:02:41.800 I mean, I don't understand why you had to bring that up.

00:02:43.640 And so, there's a scene in Julius Caesar that includes a very bloody murder,

00:02:50.480 an assassination, obviously.

00:02:51.920 It's Julius Caesar.

00:02:53.540 A spoiler alert.

00:02:55.020 Sorry.

00:02:55.720 Sorry.

00:02:56.340 Unreal.

00:02:56.420 I know it just came out, and we're all flocking to it.

00:03:00.720 Bank of America issued this statement.

00:03:03.480 Bank of America supports art programs worldwide,

00:03:05.880 including an 11-year partnership with the Public Theater and Shakespeare in the Park.

00:03:10.620 Public Theater chose to present Julius Caesar in such a way that it was intended to provoke and offend.

00:03:17.040 Had this intention been made known to us, we would have decided not to sponsor it.

00:03:22.080 We're withdrawing our funding from this production.

00:03:24.860 Nice.

00:03:25.640 Wow.

00:03:26.360 That's unbelievable.

00:03:27.380 That is.

00:03:28.000 Now, immediately, you say, nice.

00:03:32.020 But we don't like boycotts.

00:03:33.360 I don't like boycotts.

00:03:35.320 When it comes to sponsorship of art, first of all, I don't agree with this.

00:03:41.540 I would have been offended by this.

00:03:43.260 I wouldn't have liked it.

00:03:44.280 I would have gotten up and gone, okay, I get it.

00:03:47.060 But I would have also kind of expected it from New York, okay?

00:03:51.480 And I wouldn't have liked it.

00:03:54.040 And I'm torn because I'm glad that somebody says, you know, we have higher standards than, you know,

00:03:59.740 Kathy Griffin holding on to a, you know, severed head of the president.

00:04:05.400 Right.

00:04:05.620 There's no place for that.

00:04:07.160 It is.

00:04:08.020 We are learning that there is a line.

00:04:10.340 There is a line.

00:04:11.280 On criticism of conservatives or Republicans or whoever.

00:04:13.640 Yeah.

00:04:13.820 Which basically is limited at the decapitated head of the particular person.

00:04:17.500 Yeah, depictions of murdering the president are.

00:04:19.180 It's about it.

00:04:20.020 It's about all you can't do.

00:04:21.260 It's not cool.

00:04:21.720 We've always said it.

00:04:22.700 We've always said that.

00:04:23.160 We said that under George Bush.

00:04:24.980 We said that under Barack Obama.

00:04:26.720 We've said that under Donald Trump.

00:04:28.560 You don't.

00:04:29.560 Don't do that.

00:04:30.040 You don't do that.

00:04:31.100 You don't even joke about it.

00:04:32.540 You don't get near any of that.

00:04:34.680 So I don't like any of it.

00:04:36.520 However, we're getting into a place to where if we keep ratcheting up these boycotts and these boycotts,

00:04:43.100 people are not, companies are just not going to spend money on sponsoring things that you're going to like.

00:04:50.640 It leads to a very boring world.

00:04:52.940 A very boring, because who's going to pay for it when there's something interesting or intriguing?

00:04:57.560 Again, I don't think this is that.

00:04:59.120 No, I don't either.

00:04:59.920 I don't need an example of it.

00:05:01.060 But that's why I'm kind of putting this into good news category because it's common sense.

00:05:06.540 You don't do that about the president.

00:05:09.380 You wouldn't expect Bank of America to join this boycott.

00:05:11.960 But that's completely, Delta, I don't know.

00:05:16.820 I'm not sure of their political leanings.

00:05:18.660 But Bank of America, you would never expect that from them.

00:05:21.320 So is it an organized boycott in which people are pressuring these companies to do it?

00:05:25.560 Or did they just happen to see?

00:05:26.660 No, I think they just decided to pull out.

00:05:28.220 See, that's not even a boycott.

00:05:29.420 Yeah, I didn't see anything.

00:05:31.820 Well, you know that they, I can't imagine that somebody from, well, maybe they were.

00:05:36.180 Who would even know?

00:05:37.260 I mean, Shakespeare in the Park, who would even know that it occurred?

00:05:41.460 I mean, it had to be some Bank of America executive who went.

00:05:44.440 Yeah, Bank of America just said it withdrew its financial support.

00:05:47.460 There's nothing wrong with that.

00:05:48.660 That's great.

00:05:49.340 And I would guess that the next presentation or production that they have that isn't about murdering the president,

00:05:54.740 I will tell you this, it doesn't say anything in here about an organized boycott at all.

00:06:02.120 Yeah, it doesn't actually say that.

00:06:03.120 What it does say is Jesse Green, the New York Times co-chief theater critic, wrote in his review,

00:06:08.000 Even a cursory reading of the play, the kind that many American teenagers give it in high school,

00:06:13.600 does not advocate assassination.

00:06:16.800 He says that the killing is an unmitigated disaster for Rome, no matter how patriotic the intentions.

00:06:23.240 However, Green says that the production may leave some theater goers,

00:06:26.640 including those who loathe Mr. Trump, to wonder if perhaps they've gone too far.

00:06:31.860 When the New York Times theater section says, perhaps you've gone too far, you've gone too far.

00:06:40.620 So that Republicans tell Trump to come clean on possible Comey tapes.

00:06:48.540 Yeah.

00:06:49.280 Does anyone believe there's actually Comey tapes?

00:06:51.160 No, they've been out already.

00:06:52.340 No.

00:06:53.000 And we didn't address Comey, so let me just say this.

00:06:56.960 I believe him on the Loretta Lynch thing.

00:06:59.160 Does anybody here not believe him on the Loretta Lynch thing?

00:07:01.860 I believed him on the Loretta Lynch thing.

00:07:03.460 Okay, so we can't pick and choose on where he has credibility and where he doesn't.

00:07:07.140 He seems like a credible guy.

00:07:09.560 But who knows?

00:07:11.020 There's a long way to go on this one.

00:07:13.140 That's just one voice.

00:07:14.480 Let's see.

00:07:15.120 Now, let's also see the Democrats go after Loretta Lynch.

00:07:18.800 I mean, I watched that and I'm thinking, well, shouldn't we have a hearing on Loretta Lynch too?

00:07:23.880 I mean, this one's a long time coming.

00:07:26.400 Shouldn't we be looking into what she did as well?

00:07:30.020 But all of that aside, the one thing I got out of the testimony last week, and we weren't here so I wasn't able to cover it, is this.

00:07:39.620 The Russians are coming.

00:07:42.240 Did anybody miss that?

00:07:43.660 Was I the only one that that sound came through on my television?

00:07:46.900 The Russians are coming.

00:07:48.860 Oddly, I guess the reason why that wasn't a big deal is because there was no disagreement on it.

00:07:53.720 I guess so.

00:07:54.840 I guess so.

00:07:55.280 Because all we talked about was, well, about the tapes and what about the Russians.

00:07:59.940 And what was crazy is he kept saying it.

00:08:03.080 You know, I want to make sure that we really stay focused on the fact that this was an unprecedented hit on the United States.

00:08:11.380 So you took notes, Mr. Comey, after you got done talking to President Trump?

00:08:14.460 Again, I want to just say, this was a rehearsal for what they're going to do in 18 and 20, so the Russians are coming.

00:08:23.220 Yeah, but would you describe your notes as contemporaneous and copious?

00:08:27.240 It was really amazing.

00:08:28.600 Yeah, everyone wants their political ends.

00:08:30.240 Even the people, both Republicans and Democrats, responded to him with, yes, this is really bad about Russia.

00:08:40.800 But then I didn't see any of the coverage.

00:08:42.640 Did you take notes when you talked to Loretta Looch?

00:08:45.900 Oh, boy.

00:08:47.320 And Megyn Kelly is in trouble now on both sides of the aisle.

00:08:52.760 Megyn Kelly...

00:08:53.460 This is weird.

00:08:54.260 I don't get that.

00:08:55.300 I don't get this either.

00:08:56.340 Okay, so Huffington Post, you would expect, how can you give a quarter to somebody like Alex Jones?

00:09:05.800 Okay, all right, I get that.

00:09:08.160 But now the right is also saying, how can you give quarter to Alex Jones?

00:09:14.600 Okay.

00:09:14.920 Is that what they're saying?

00:09:16.740 Red State is.

00:09:18.180 Because I...

00:09:18.880 They're saying that what she's doing is legitimizing him.

00:09:23.620 And I think there was an argument to be made about legitimizing Alex Jones.

00:09:27.500 When you're making fun of somebody, are you legitimizing him?

00:09:30.100 And I don't know that she's necessarily doing that, but she's providing him the forum to make fun of himself.

00:09:35.540 I mean, he's...

00:09:36.140 Here's the thing.

00:09:37.360 He's his own worst enemy.

00:09:38.560 A good journalist shuts up.

00:09:41.160 Asks the questions and shuts up.

00:09:43.660 And lets them hang themselves.

00:09:46.440 I want you just to hear the promo.

00:09:49.680 And tell me, after hearing the promo for Megyn Kelly, that this is going to be an interview that there's no hanging of oneself in.

00:10:00.540 These authoritarianism knows humanity's awakening, and it's moving against humanity on a planetary scale.

00:10:05.800 The great global battle for the future of our species is being fought right now.

00:10:09.920 They call you the most paranoid man in America.

00:10:12.560 Is that true?

00:10:13.060 Absolutely not.

00:10:14.480 A paranoid person will be hiding out in their house, not venturing out in public.

00:10:18.340 I go out there on the street and battle Black Lives Matter, the communists, point-blank range.

00:10:23.140 We talked controversies and conspiracies.

00:10:26.600 9-11.

00:10:27.260 Now, 9-11 was an inside job.

00:10:29.360 But when I say inside job, it means criminal elements in our government working with Saudi Arabia and others.

00:10:33.380 I wanted to frame Iraq for it.

00:10:34.960 Just a fact.

00:10:35.800 Just a fact.

00:10:36.840 Well, Sandy Hook's complex because I've had debates where we've devil's advocates said the whole story's true.

00:10:41.320 And then I've had debates where I've said that none of it's true.

00:10:45.460 Well, if you've taken both sides of the issue, then I guess that's okay.

00:10:50.980 It's complicated because I've had debates where I've said the whole thing is true and the whole thing is not true.

00:10:57.300 So I've complicated the issue by taking both sides of it.

00:11:01.140 So I...

00:11:02.700 Well, you said devil's advocate's arguments, but like, do you take...

00:11:05.860 That's baloney.

00:11:06.260 Yeah, first of all, that is an absolute lie he's covering.

00:11:08.900 But beyond that, it's like, do you need a devil's advocate on whether Sandy Hook occurred?

00:11:14.180 No.

00:11:14.300 Is there really...

00:11:14.900 No, you do not.

00:11:15.500 Is there a need for that?

00:11:16.900 Only in Alex Jones' work.

00:11:18.200 Yeah.

00:11:18.500 I have...

00:11:19.280 I've had debates, played devil's advocate, where I said the sun is an actual god.

00:11:24.880 Right.

00:11:25.960 And I made that argument.

00:11:27.120 And I made that argument.

00:11:28.280 But I've also said the sun is just a giant flaming orb of gas.

00:11:32.940 You say parents faked their children's death.

00:11:39.380 People get very angry.

00:11:40.840 Well, let's...

00:11:41.240 Oh, I know.

00:11:41.660 But they don't get angry about the half million dead Iraqis from the sanctions.

00:11:44.180 Or they don't get angry about all the illegal...

00:11:46.140 That's a dodge.

00:11:47.220 That's a dodge.

00:11:48.300 Yeah.

00:11:48.900 Yeah.

00:11:49.520 And a Buick.

00:11:51.500 What the hell is that?

00:11:53.680 That has nothing to do with...

00:11:54.940 They don't get angry about all the sanctions.

00:11:56.900 What about the Black Plague that killed over 30 million people in Europe in the 1600s?

00:12:01.200 What about that?

00:12:01.960 How come nobody's screaming about that?

00:12:03.680 Nobody's talking about it.

00:12:04.860 Why aren't you covering that, Megan?

00:12:06.320 Because you just said...

00:12:07.900 What the hell?

00:12:08.360 What does that have to do with anything?

00:12:09.920 You just said that parents faked the death of their child.

00:12:14.720 Yeah.

00:12:15.160 Well, what about the Armenian crisis in the 1917 era?

00:12:24.700 Anybody talking about that?

00:12:26.080 Wow.

00:12:26.900 Wow, no.

00:12:27.760 That's crazy.

00:12:28.140 But wait, there's more.

00:12:29.420 It's not a dodge.

00:12:30.480 The media never covers all the evil wars.

00:12:33.140 That doesn't excuse what you did and said about Newtown.

00:12:36.340 You know it.

00:12:36.920 Here's the difference.

00:12:37.640 Stop for a second.

00:12:38.380 I just want to say, again, the reason why I'm playing this is because both the right

00:12:43.120 and the left are saying that she is legitimizing him.

00:12:47.520 Right.

00:12:47.780 She's hammering him so far.

00:12:49.680 You're right.

00:12:50.360 Letting him hang himself.

00:12:51.520 But asking and pushing back when he...

00:12:53.660 Yeah, okay.

00:12:53.680 All right.

00:12:53.960 But you're still like, okay, he sounds a little crazy, but...

00:12:56.880 You know, I mean, it's on NBC, right?

00:13:00.000 This is just the promo.

00:13:02.300 Listen.

00:13:02.560 Looked at all the angles of Newtown, and I made my statements long before the media even

00:13:07.900 picked up on it.

00:13:08.800 We didn't get any of the really important stuff.

00:13:10.560 What do you mean?

00:13:11.040 We talked about all the important stuff.

00:13:12.700 Well, here's the big one they always make fun of me.

00:13:14.080 You probably want to throw this in there.

00:13:15.620 30 years ago, they began creating animal-human hybrids.

00:13:20.700 Isn't that the big story Megyn Kelly should be doing?

00:13:22.820 It's huge, yeah.

00:13:24.040 I mean...

00:13:24.540 Why isn't she doing that?

00:13:25.220 She isn't covering that.

00:13:26.080 I will say he's right about that.

00:13:28.080 She's not covering it.

00:13:28.920 Is it possible she is one, and that's why she's hiding it?

00:13:32.040 Maybe it was the longer time.

00:13:32.720 So the question is...

00:13:34.400 The question is, why on God's green earth would you bring up animal-human hybrids?

00:13:42.860 Out of nowhere.

00:13:43.520 Out of nowhere.

00:13:44.880 That's something that your PR people say.

00:13:47.560 If she's...

00:13:48.140 Look, we've made a deal.

00:13:49.380 She's not going to bring up the animal-human hybrid thing, okay?

00:13:53.480 If she asks about it, just shut your mouth.

00:13:56.920 He brought that up in the press conference after his trial, too.

00:13:59.920 The same thing.

00:14:00.700 It's something he believes very deeply in.

00:14:02.940 Yes, he did.

00:14:03.860 Okay.

00:14:04.440 Well, there's your legitimate interview coming Sunday with Megyn Kelly.

00:14:10.520 Glenn Beck.

00:14:13.280 Mercury.

00:14:16.100 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:14:22.660 So...

00:14:23.220 I want to thank the provider of my data plan for ratting me out on vacation.

00:14:31.500 I'm up at the ranch, which, of course, has, you know, quote, no television or internet.

00:14:37.760 Why does that need to be quoted?

00:14:38.780 That's in quotation marks because it does have television and internet.

00:14:40.980 Well, for a long time, they didn't know that...

00:14:44.260 The family didn't know that I hid the satellite dish behind the fireplace chimney, okay?

00:14:51.920 So up on the roof, you can't really see it unless you're standing in one angle, and then you could see it, and nobody had seen it.

00:14:58.260 And I put it there for emergency use only.

00:15:02.540 Well, I mean, you're in the business of news.

00:15:03.980 That's exactly right.

00:15:05.160 Exactly right.

00:15:05.220 And in a crisis, you need to be connected.

00:15:08.540 Yes.

00:15:08.840 You're not going to turn it on normally.

00:15:10.320 Yes.

00:15:10.660 But in a crisis, it needs to be there.

00:15:12.880 And so for the first two or three years, that was never connected to anything.

00:15:17.300 And then this damn wireless happened, okay?

00:15:22.540 And then what happens?

00:15:25.540 Something else.

00:15:26.180 House of Cards.

00:15:27.740 House of Cards comes out.

00:15:29.200 A crisis.

00:15:29.900 In the White House?

00:15:30.780 Yes.

00:15:31.760 Oh, White House crisis.

00:15:33.400 Thank you, Stu.

00:15:34.340 Yeah.

00:15:34.860 So I get up after the last episodes won't load anymore.

00:15:41.120 Or something about data, and my data provider happens to let it slip to my wife because she

00:15:49.880 is apparently on the email alerts that we've upgraded your data plan.

00:15:56.880 And so my wife is like, what data plan are we updating?

00:16:02.040 You know, it's the work.

00:16:04.300 I don't know who is it.

00:16:06.240 The crisis data plan.

00:16:07.880 Thank you.

00:16:08.700 Who is at our house watching something like, she said, House of Cards?

00:16:17.740 So I did finally get through it, but not unscarred.

00:16:21.660 Really good.

00:16:22.920 Yeah.

00:16:23.260 That was very good.

00:16:23.940 Yeah, so you really liked it.

00:16:25.340 I really liked it.

00:16:26.500 I liked it.

00:16:27.340 It does get more and more absurd by the second, but it doesn't.

00:16:32.900 Does it?

00:16:33.540 Does it?

00:16:34.140 I don't know.

00:16:34.720 I think it does.

00:16:35.500 I mean, it does seem to get more and more ridiculous.

00:16:38.080 I don't know.

00:16:38.240 In what places?

00:16:39.320 I don't want to spoil anything, but in what places does it get?

00:16:41.960 Oh, it's been out for two weeks.

00:16:43.460 It's been like 13 hours of television.

00:16:47.280 If you don't have 13 hours, then you have your priorities wrong.

00:16:50.940 Thank you.

00:16:51.220 I had four flights on vacation.

00:16:53.020 Yeah.

00:16:53.160 So I had lots of airplane time.

00:16:55.080 I watched the whole thing on my phone.

00:16:56.080 Where did you go?

00:16:56.820 Like New Zealand or something?

00:16:58.340 No.

00:16:58.680 I went on two trips.

00:17:00.620 Two little...

00:17:01.020 I went to see my mom, and we went on a little family vacation.

00:17:04.580 So I had their back, their back.

00:17:06.860 His little family vacation sounds shady, doesn't it?

00:17:10.240 Sure does.

00:17:10.700 No, it's just not exciting.

00:17:12.680 We went to Philadelphia.

00:17:14.300 So it's like, well, why would you go to Philadelphia?

00:17:16.260 Well, we had a lot of friends there.

00:17:18.300 We may have taken an Eagles stadium tour.

00:17:20.320 I mean, that may have been part of the reason we went there.

00:17:22.100 I'm not going to say that...

00:17:23.400 Wow, your wife, she's hooked up.

00:17:29.080 You know what I mean?

00:17:29.920 I'm a catch.

00:17:30.800 I'll say that.

00:17:31.180 Oh, my gosh.

00:17:32.420 Honey, someday, we're going on a Philadelphia Eagles stadium tour.

00:17:36.900 Yeah.

00:17:37.560 Wow.

00:17:38.020 Yeah, it's a promise I made when we were dating and finally was able to fulfill it.

00:17:43.320 Right.

00:17:44.760 So I had a lot of phone time, and I watched the entire thing.

00:17:51.220 And it was really good.

00:17:52.220 I do think every season escalates the amount of absurdity that's actually happening, but

00:17:57.280 it ended in a place.

00:17:58.200 I didn't find it.

00:17:59.040 I found it terrifying because I'm like, could be the last guy, could be this guy, could be

00:18:05.120 the next guy.

00:18:05.720 Yeah.

00:18:06.140 I know.

00:18:06.160 Yeah.

00:18:06.400 I mean, that's all that stuff with the terror, the way they're playing the terror stuff.

00:18:12.640 Oh, yeah.

00:18:13.420 It's interesting.

00:18:14.280 It seems as if the actual world takes its cues from House of Cards.

00:18:21.100 And the people in Washington are like, oh, wow, we can get away with that, too?

00:18:24.220 And they just keep doing the things that happened in the previous season.

00:18:27.260 It's kind of like what they used to say about MTV.

00:18:29.280 They don't know which is the dog and which is the tail.

00:18:31.900 If culture was following MTV or MTV was following culture, it's like that now with the House of Cards.

00:18:39.880 You're like, I am?

00:18:41.940 Is this the news or is this House of Cards?

00:18:52.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:56.120 Mercury.

00:18:59.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:02.020 So, I read several books on vacation.

00:19:07.360 Brad Thor, is he coming on?

00:19:09.080 Is he going to be on?

00:19:10.040 His new book is tremendous.

00:19:12.480 Really?

00:19:13.340 Tremendous.

00:19:13.940 Really good book.

00:19:14.840 Two weeks from now.

00:19:15.940 It comes out in two weeks?

00:19:17.520 Or he's going to be on in two weeks?

00:19:18.420 He's going to be on in two weeks.

00:19:19.300 It's tremendous.

00:19:21.760 Also read a business book called Friction.

00:19:25.720 That is...

00:19:27.160 You can read it.

00:19:28.180 It's this book.

00:19:28.960 Brought it in.

00:19:29.580 Jeffy has a business that's called Friction 2.

00:19:31.940 No, no, no.

00:19:32.840 I think that's called Lubrication.

00:19:34.500 Oh, yeah.

00:19:35.020 No, it's Friction 2.

00:19:36.280 Friction 2, yeah.

00:19:37.900 Anyway, this is really easy to read.

00:19:40.340 I mean, it's like...

00:19:41.180 It's almost like a kid's book.

00:19:43.300 It's, you know, it's got big words in it and stuff.

00:19:46.800 You can read it...

00:19:47.400 It's about the same.

00:19:47.960 You can read it in...

00:19:49.280 Yeah.

00:19:50.300 You can read it, really, in one sitting.

00:19:53.940 It is...

00:19:55.580 It's all about disruption.

00:19:57.580 And all about what's coming in business, what's coming in life.

00:20:08.220 On how everything...

00:20:10.140 No matter what you're doing, Uber is your competition.

00:20:15.920 It doesn't matter what you do, what you make.

00:20:19.180 Uber is your competition.

00:20:20.720 And here's why.

00:20:21.380 Because as everything else becomes easier, when I can just call and, oh, here's the car that's ready.

00:20:31.380 As people innovate and reduce friction on other things, your business, if it stays stationary, becomes a point of friction.

00:20:42.380 They're like, ah, I've got to go down to the bakery and actually get those donuts.

00:20:44.920 Oh, yeah.

00:20:46.200 Well, I mean, let's do whatever we're talking about that this morning.

00:20:49.120 I heard an interview with a guy who created Instacart.

00:20:55.940 I had never heard of Instacart.

00:20:57.540 Like, I know it's been around for a while.

00:20:58.820 It's a California...

00:20:59.580 I think it started in California.

00:21:00.880 But it's...

00:21:01.600 And it's basically, you go on your app and you go through every grocery store in your area, which is on it at least here.

00:21:09.260 And that's certainly not the case everywhere.

00:21:11.720 But you go through, pick the grocery store, buy all the stuff that you want just online.

00:21:16.360 And then someone, an actual individual like Uber, picking you up in a car, goes to the grocery store.

00:21:21.220 Instacart shopper.

00:21:22.100 Is trained to pick the best produce.

00:21:24.540 Is trained to find all the best stuff there.

00:21:26.980 Knows where everything is in the store so you don't have the delay of looking around.

00:21:30.700 How much is this service?

00:21:31.960 Nothing.

00:21:33.540 It costs nothing.

00:21:37.000 What do you mean it costs nothing?

00:21:38.680 They have...

00:21:39.840 So, they have a tip situation, which you would obviously tip the driver.

00:21:46.300 And you...

00:21:46.560 Or you can...

00:21:47.140 And then they have like a 10% service fee, which is optional.

00:21:51.180 You don't have to pay it.

00:21:53.340 Well, but yeah, you don't have to be nice to the Uber driver either.

00:21:56.560 But good luck getting a good Uber driver next time.

00:21:58.940 Right.

00:21:59.420 Although, yeah, I mean, I don't know if they have a rating system or not on this.

00:22:02.780 They may or may not.

00:22:04.280 But then they were going through the store and like, you know, if I ordered an orange monster drink,

00:22:08.380 and they're out of orange monster drink, they will send me via the app a suitable replacement

00:22:15.340 and ask me to approve it so I can make all this.

00:22:18.200 I can just like...

00:22:18.740 If I feel like I can just make all the decisions, yes, no, I don't want that one.

00:22:21.440 Just throw that one back on the shelf.

00:22:22.720 Whatever.

00:22:23.460 They bring it to your house.

00:22:24.940 If you would like, bring it into your house, into your kitchen and set it down.

00:22:30.260 They won't, apparently, put it in my refrigerator yet.

00:22:33.320 Oh, you've lost me.

00:22:33.940 Which is infuriating.

00:22:35.280 Yeah.

00:22:35.880 But for no cost.

00:22:37.640 That's crazy.

00:22:38.700 That's amazing.

00:22:39.080 It's incredible.

00:22:39.480 I will never walk into a grocery store in my life after using it.

00:22:44.300 They just added some new zip codes here in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, too.

00:22:47.360 So what is the name of this?

00:22:48.600 Instacart.

00:22:49.800 And a lot of grocery stores will do it on their own.

00:22:51.760 But like for, you know, like...

00:22:52.600 Walmart, I think, is doing it.

00:22:53.500 Yeah.

00:22:54.000 Are they?

00:22:54.480 Walmart does one where I know you can pick up.

00:22:56.100 This is the point of this.

00:22:58.920 So now, you're a grocery store and you're not a part of that.

00:23:02.880 You're done.

00:23:03.540 You're dead.

00:23:03.800 You're done.

00:23:04.360 And no matter what you're doing, because convenience is becoming so accessible to everyone, if you're

00:23:13.900 not upgrading, if you have a single point of friction, people aren't going to come to

00:23:19.420 you.

00:23:19.480 We're not going to need our legs anymore.

00:23:21.720 Yeah, really.

00:23:22.360 Eventually, our legs will just evolve away from us.

00:23:24.900 I will tell you, I will tell you, being up, I was up in Idaho and for the vacation and

00:23:31.820 up in the mountains.

00:23:33.720 But the people there are just, it's like the town I grew up in.

00:23:36.700 It's just really great.

00:23:38.460 But, you know, I had to buy extra data.

00:23:41.900 You know, it's not, you know, unlimited data, et cetera, et cetera.

00:23:45.220 Nobody's using Uber up there.

00:23:46.940 And I really thought there's going to come a time where there are, where people come

00:23:51.940 from that part of the country and they go to the big city and they're like, what the

00:23:57.820 hell is it?

00:23:58.120 Like Abraham Lincoln waking up and like looking around.

00:24:01.120 It will.

00:24:01.840 Yeah.

00:24:02.120 Life is so different.

00:24:03.400 Life is becoming so different now in the big cities.

00:24:06.340 It's not there yet, but we're maybe five years from being so different in the cities that

00:24:13.980 they'll have skills that we won't have.

00:24:17.340 Like grocery shopping, you know, they'll come to a big city and they'll be like, what?

00:24:24.720 How are you?

00:24:25.520 What is that?

00:24:26.340 It's true.

00:24:28.320 I mean, I, and I make decisions based on this.

00:24:31.000 Like, for example, I make dining decisions.

00:24:33.640 Like I'm going on a date night.

00:24:35.340 I make dining decisions specifically on what restaurants are on open table.

00:24:41.780 That app, which is, let you make reservations on the app.

00:24:45.100 So I don't have to call anybody.

00:24:46.340 I don't have to talk to anybody because I don't want to talk to anybody.

00:24:49.320 So I, the, I make reservations.

00:24:50.940 Now there might be a restaurant and Pat is the grumpy one.

00:24:54.720 Are you sure?

00:24:54.980 I don't think so, Pat.

00:24:55.980 No, but it's just easier.

00:24:58.620 I don't have to call up and try to figure it out.

00:25:01.000 I go on there.

00:25:01.600 I can see a list.

00:25:02.320 I can filter it by the type of food I want to eat.

00:25:04.460 I can filter it by location.

00:25:05.620 I can look at all the restaurants on a map.

00:25:07.500 I can pick the ones that have availability in a certain time I want to be there and see

00:25:11.260 all the options I want.

00:25:12.180 I will tell you, I'm like.

00:25:12.880 I think about this all the time.

00:25:13.680 If you're a restaurant, this goes to what you're talking about with this book.

00:25:16.780 Why would you not be on this?

00:25:18.740 Because I, I.

00:25:20.220 You have to be.

00:25:20.780 I am sure there are tons of people like me that do that and make the decisions based.

00:25:24.680 This book makes the point that if this is the worst part of friction, that if you don't

00:25:30.040 have, if you don't have, um, you know, your product department, if you're in the website

00:25:36.600 business, you know, you don't have your product department looking at all of the leaders in

00:25:42.920 high tech and figuring out how to model yourself after you're going to be left in the dust because

00:25:49.000 the every, with every innovation, people have higher expectations for everybody.

00:25:55.820 Well, they're doing it.

00:25:57.140 How come you're not doing it?

00:25:58.600 It's, it's honestly talking to my son.

00:26:01.160 This is probably three years ago.

00:26:02.640 We watched the Disney man in space, then man on the moon, which were really cool for me at least.

00:26:08.800 Uh, and then we watched man on Mars.

00:26:11.280 And, uh, I said, I said, man, someday we're going to go to Mars.

00:26:15.220 And he said, we've already been there.

00:26:17.760 And I said, no, no, we haven't.

00:26:20.240 And he said, dad, yes, we haven't.

00:26:22.160 For a minute, I started doubting myself on this nine year old punk.

00:26:26.120 And I'm like, no, we haven't.

00:26:27.360 He said, dad, the Rover was up there.

00:26:30.160 And I said, that's not the same as humans going.

00:26:33.260 And he's like, what's the difference?

00:26:35.320 And I said, huge, an actual person on Mars.

00:26:40.660 And he, and then it started kind of falling apart for me.

00:26:43.460 He's like, well, why haven't we done that?

00:26:45.920 Because it's, it's hard.

00:26:47.680 Because it's hard.

00:26:49.500 It's hard.

00:26:50.500 There's, I don't think there's any definition of hard left for people.

00:26:55.220 And there's no wonderment at all.

00:26:57.820 You know, I, I, every time I go out and I'm away from a city where you can actually see the stars,

00:27:04.280 I always come back with, I think that's the problem.

00:27:07.080 I think the problem is, like in New York or any big city, you see all of man's creation.

00:27:15.440 And you don't, until you're around a campfire in a dark area, look up and go, holy cow, are we small?

00:27:25.520 What is all of this?

00:27:26.880 And you start pondering the big things.

00:27:29.420 We don't ponder the big things.

00:27:31.120 You know, nobody's, nobody's sitting around at night and wondering what the meaning of life is because they were walking outside and saw the moon.

00:27:41.080 We're not thinking these thoughts anymore because everything is, everything that man is building is so big, so encompassing, so self-enclosing.

00:27:52.620 And we're losing because of just the brightness of the cities, the stars and perspective.

00:27:59.320 It's really amazing when you, my kids went outside.

00:28:02.820 There are more than six stars in the sky.

00:28:05.420 Contrary to everybody who lives in the DFW.

00:28:08.940 I don't know.

00:28:09.480 You can see six of them, maybe.

00:28:10.720 Well, I'm not sure because four of those are planes.

00:28:13.440 When you go to Montana and you look up and you see that, you forget, at least I, I did.

00:28:17.700 I forgot how awesome, absolutely amazing it is when you look up in the night sky.

00:28:23.080 It's really incredible.

00:28:23.900 You don't see that here.

00:28:24.440 It's really incredible.

00:28:25.920 Yeah.

00:28:26.180 And you just, you've completely lost perspective on, on where we are, who we are, and that wonderment.

00:28:36.880 You know, Tanya and I sat in the, sat in the, uh, the yard looking up at the moon and just looking at it going,

00:28:43.120 men were up there and it used to be a big deal.

00:28:51.340 We go to Mars.

00:28:52.960 I don't think it'll be a big deal.

00:28:54.700 No, no way.

00:28:56.180 I mean, it'll be, it'll be big, but it will not be like the, when the entire earth, everyone on earth.

00:29:04.120 What do you mean we're not there?

00:29:05.060 Why are we in there already?

00:29:06.320 What are you talking about?

00:29:07.040 Tell me what the thing could be that everyone on earth stops to watch it.

00:29:15.420 What would that be?

00:29:16.800 And watch and man, and say, holy cow, not look at that horror, but holy cow, look at that accomplishment.

00:29:25.100 The media would have, we believe it was the James Comey testimony, but it did not.

00:29:28.540 Yeah, it did not.

00:29:29.380 Yeah.

00:29:29.780 Yeah.

00:29:30.080 Yeah.

00:29:30.200 Thank you so much for joining us today.

00:29:45.260 Thank you for listening to the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:47.220 We are back off vacation.

00:29:49.180 What did we bring back?

00:29:50.720 Uh, one interesting thought I, I, I, I saw from five 38.com.

00:29:54.060 They had a writer who had a book situation.

00:29:56.040 So they were, they had to go off social media for three months and they wrote about, Hey,

00:30:02.100 how did this affect my opinion of the news cycle?

00:30:04.580 Like they went through all these big events, not being connected to social media.

00:30:07.840 And one of the, here's part of it.

00:30:09.480 It dawned on me that I mostly stopped visiting websites directly and instead had been following

00:30:13.500 the recommendations in my feeds to wherever they might lead me.

00:30:16.820 My reading was no longer deliberate, but curated by external forces that may or may not have

00:30:21.980 aligned with my interests.

00:30:22.980 I ceded control of my most valuable currency, my attention.

00:30:27.940 Unbelievable.

00:30:28.620 That's the way most people do it.

00:30:30.060 Totally.

00:30:30.680 Like that is, you just get led down these things, these roads, and you're not necessarily even

00:30:35.020 reading what's most interesting to you or what's most important to you.

00:30:38.380 I mean, we all do that.

00:30:39.620 Yeah.

00:30:40.260 It's true.

00:30:40.640 I think it's 80% of traffic now, uh, from most sites comes from what's called the side

00:30:47.040 doors.

00:30:47.320 So people are not going to theblaze.com or the newyorktimes.com.

00:30:53.460 They're getting it from their Facebook feed and that leads them in from the side door.

00:30:58.140 So they're only getting one story.

00:31:00.760 And on that story, the average time is like 46 seconds or six seconds.

00:31:05.820 If it's that high, I'd be stunned.

00:31:07.080 Yeah.

00:31:07.620 I keep, I keep wanting to say it's like six seconds, but it can't be that there's some

00:31:12.300 extraordinarily low number.

00:31:15.000 Um, and it gives you time enough just to read the headlines and glance and move on.

00:31:20.520 That's how people are getting their news now.

00:31:23.580 And it's, it's, it's really kind of frightening.

00:31:26.820 Yeah.

00:31:26.920 I was listening to an interview with someone who is a, you know, a writer about these,

00:31:29.620 you know, uh, like long form pieces, you know, these old school long, like the magazine profile,

00:31:35.180 right?

00:31:35.360 Those old school things that we don't really seem to have anymore, except for a few sources.

00:31:39.440 And they were talking about how they would spend so much time writing that last, uh,

00:31:46.240 paragraph.

00:31:46.580 If you watched house of cards, which I will not give anything away here, I promise.

00:31:49.560 Um, but the last few moments, as you would expect of the season were amazing.

00:31:53.820 And that's how articles used to be.

00:31:56.260 That last paragraph was crafted.

00:31:58.200 It was perfectly worded.

00:31:59.620 It led you to that exact point.

00:32:01.300 And it was, it was referenced three times before.

00:32:04.980 Oh yeah.

00:32:05.380 It set you up.

00:32:06.400 In the article.

00:32:06.660 Yeah.

00:32:06.940 And what they found is now with the digital, uh, you know, world is they realized, first

00:32:11.000 of all, the first paragraph is the only one anyone reads.

00:32:13.220 And it goes down to the last paragraph is read by like 6% of readers or 5% of total readers.

00:32:20.680 Something so low that there's no rational reason to spend any time on the last paragraph.

00:32:26.740 It should only be the first few paragraphs that you spend any time on.

00:32:30.200 And the rest of it, you throw all the junk at the end.

00:32:32.580 And that's not the way journalism used to be.

00:32:34.780 It's not the way it was, you know, try to write something smart in.

00:32:38.380 I mean, the only guy that I know that did it was Paul Harvey.

00:32:41.880 Try to write something smart in, in one paragraph and really convey a message.

00:32:49.540 The, the most powerful news story I've ever heard.

00:32:52.300 He was way ahead of his time.

00:32:53.960 Most powerful news story I ever heard.

00:32:56.040 And the reason why I wanted to get one of the reasons why I wanted to get into radio,

00:33:00.160 Orson Welles and Paul Harvey.

00:33:01.780 And I used to listen to him.

00:33:03.460 Eight years old, I'd be washing the pots and pans at the bakery.

00:33:06.480 And Paul Harvey would come on and he'd do his, in the summer, his noon report.

00:33:10.400 And the rest of the year I'd hear his 5 o'clock report.

00:33:13.060 And he'd give the news.

00:33:14.480 And the most, the most effective story I've ever heard was,

00:33:18.100 Chicago O'Hare, Eastern Airlines, 232 dead.

00:33:24.220 And that was it.

00:33:27.160 And the way he said it, I could, I could almost smell the smoke.

00:33:33.840 I mean, I knew everything that I needed to know.

00:33:36.600 That's really kind of what America wants right now.

00:33:40.700 They just want that.

00:33:42.840 Plus they want a confirmation of their opinion.

00:33:47.660 Tell me my opinion is right.

00:33:50.380 Yeah, and that's exactly what the author found.

00:33:56.140 You know, what became acutely obvious was when I stopped taking the recommendations

00:33:59.040 was how tribal online discussions can be.

00:34:01.720 Somebody posted my feeds where people broadcasting their political or professional identities

00:34:04.880 by expressing outrage or praise for a particular news event or article.

00:34:08.860 You know, that is what it is.

00:34:10.420 It winds up being like, oh, okay.

00:34:11.800 It's because we've lost the American tribe.

00:34:14.520 Yeah.

00:34:14.620 We've broken into political party tribes because we don't have a common story

00:34:20.500 that threads us together anymore.

00:34:25.580 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:34:30.080 Mercury.

00:34:44.620 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:34:49.300 On demand.

00:34:52.820 Hello, America.

00:34:53.780 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:34:55.300 We're glad you're here.

00:34:56.360 There is a there's a book out called Mistakes Were Made But Not By Me.

00:34:59.640 We've talked about it a couple of times.

00:35:01.100 I went and I earmarked some things in this that the book is trying to understand cognitive dissidence

00:35:12.820 and why we why we have such an aversion to making an apology or or saying, yep, that was

00:35:21.720 my fault.

00:35:22.400 When we claim we are hungry for people to do that, we in our own lives don't do that.

00:35:28.800 Some amazing stories out of this book I want to share with you and how they apply to our life.

00:35:34.500 Also, we want to get to the big news.

00:35:36.960 There is big breaking news out of Miami that is stunning.

00:35:43.540 And I'm I'm not sure why the media is not.

00:35:47.040 Don't laugh.

00:35:47.720 No, I'm no.

00:35:48.800 It's only so I wouldn't cry.

00:35:50.520 It is.

00:35:51.300 That's why.

00:35:52.080 You know, Al Gore was on television yesterday telling a story and it's more than a story.

00:36:01.340 It's heart wrenching.

00:36:02.320 It's heart wrenching and it's news.

00:36:04.280 Yes.

00:36:04.500 It's hard news.

00:36:05.300 And why the media won't cover this is beyond me.

00:36:09.380 It's a cover up.

00:36:10.900 That's it.

00:36:11.460 It's a cover up.

00:36:12.160 Call Alex Jones.

00:36:13.640 Wait until you hear the latest from Al Gore.

00:36:17.820 We begin there right now.

00:36:18.980 I will make a stand.

00:36:22.380 I will raise my voice.

00:36:24.640 I will hold your hand.

00:36:27.060 Because we are one.

00:36:28.860 I will be my drum.

00:36:31.120 I have made my choice.

00:36:33.360 We will overcome.

00:36:35.660 Because we are one.

00:36:37.460 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:36:41.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:46.200 Welcome to Monday.

00:36:47.240 So glad that you are with us.

00:36:48.600 Let's start with Al Gore breaking some pretty amazing news yesterday on Fox.

00:36:54.760 Listen to this.

00:36:55.600 In 2006, you made the following comments as part of your publicity for the movie.

00:37:01.120 You said, unless we took, quote, drastic measures, the world would reach a point of no return within

00:37:06.560 10 years and you called it a true planetary emergency.

00:37:10.800 Where 11 years later, weren't you wrong?

00:37:14.140 Well, we have seen a decline in emissions on a global basis.

00:37:19.080 For the first time, they've stabilized and started to decline.

00:37:22.260 So stop for a second.

00:37:23.660 He always changes the parameters there.

00:37:25.940 Because he was, the question was, you said we had to take drastic measures.

00:37:31.260 Now, everybody knows drastic measures have not been taken.

00:37:34.320 They've not been taken.

00:37:35.400 Well, here's the deal.

00:37:36.700 And we're still not in a crisis.

00:37:37.940 He is using the 2008 financial crisis and the global recession that we have been in as a good thing.

00:37:46.520 That's true.

00:37:47.080 That is the most, the best proven way to reduce emissions is economic catastrophe.

00:37:52.360 Yes.

00:37:52.500 Right.

00:37:52.960 Yes.

00:37:53.240 It happened in the Soviet Union.

00:37:54.480 Those were not drastic measures.

00:37:56.860 No, it wasn't.

00:37:57.720 The economic downturn did not cause drastic changes.

00:38:00.780 But it's also not the way carbon emissions work.

00:38:03.420 You don't stop, you know, driving your car and then tomorrow the Earth is like, ooh, I can breathe free.

00:38:10.020 Yeah, it could be up.

00:38:10.520 It's usually around 8.

00:38:11.280 And even he would admit that, right?

00:38:13.140 Of course.

00:38:13.580 It's up to 200 years.

00:38:14.920 Yeah.

00:38:15.100 Between 80 and 200 years, usually, for CO2 to dissipate out of the atmosphere.

00:38:19.640 So if we stopped it all, it would still take a minimum of 80 years.

00:38:24.340 If you stopped all cars, it would still take a minimum of 80 years for that to impact the Earth.

00:38:31.240 Right.

00:38:31.420 So it's got nothing to do with a, by the way, leveling off because of, largely, a financial crisis and some other factors.

00:38:39.960 But still, this is not like some incredible downturn.

00:38:42.900 No.

00:38:43.120 It's a leveling off term.

00:38:43.880 Nothing drastic just happened.

00:38:44.880 So he's saying that we're not seeing the results that he predicted in the movie because we've had a leveling off,

00:38:52.100 which he said only drastic measures happening today would be able to stop them.

00:38:57.720 The responses of the last 10 years have helped, but unfortunately and regrettably, a lot of serious damage has been done.

00:39:06.540 Greenland, for example, is losing one cubic kilometer of ice every single day.

00:39:10.760 I went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day.

00:39:16.800 The same thing was true in Honolulu.

00:39:18.860 Wait, wait, wait.

00:39:20.420 In Honolulu, I missed that the first time.

00:39:22.700 It's Miami and Honolulu where fish are swimming in the streets on sunny days.

00:39:30.300 Fish?

00:39:31.380 That is heart-wrenching.

00:39:32.200 Now, how did the news media miss this?

00:39:36.480 I don't know.

00:39:37.220 As you were driving your car in Miami, I want to hear from you now.

00:39:41.940 Are you seeing the fish swimming in the street next to you on a sunny day?

00:39:49.300 And why are Americans in Miami hiding that?

00:39:52.600 They're hiding it.

00:39:53.600 Why won't they tell America?

00:39:55.840 Are they all working for Halliburton?

00:39:57.580 Of course they are.

00:39:58.840 Of course they are.

00:39:59.720 They must all be on the payroll.

00:40:01.100 I mean, how many people?

00:40:02.540 Fish are swimming in the streets.

00:40:03.980 How many global warming?

00:40:05.840 On sunny days!

00:40:06.760 How many global warming supporters?

00:40:09.760 People who say, I support Al Gore.

00:40:11.520 How many of them had to die to cover up the video footage of the fish swimming in the streets of Honolulu and Miami?

00:40:22.780 It's got to be video footage, right?

00:40:24.320 It's got to be.

00:40:25.060 Apparently, this is not a...

00:40:26.140 When you take out your cell phone, if that was happening here in Dallas, I would get my camera out and shoot that.

00:40:34.040 Of course, fish, as you may know, live in water.

00:40:38.000 Occasionally, when it floods, in various areas, there are fish that could be theoretically on a street.

00:40:42.460 Not on a sunny day for the love of heaven, Stu.

00:40:44.720 But the Miami thing is an interesting addition.

00:40:47.560 This was actually something Barack Obama has talked about as well.

00:40:51.840 He says, I think, this is in 2015, I think as the science around climate change is more accepted,

00:40:57.240 people start realizing that even today you can put a price on the damage that climate change is doing.

00:41:00.920 You go down to Miami, and when it's flooding at high tide on a sunny day, and fish are swimming through the middle of the streets,

00:41:07.180 there's a cost to that.

00:41:09.540 How much does it cost?

00:41:11.180 How much does that cost?

00:41:12.900 Well, there's a fish toll to cross the street.

00:41:16.000 Each trout has to pay $0.35.

00:41:18.880 I think that is, yes.

00:41:19.920 And here's the problem.

00:41:20.780 Fish don't have pockets.

00:41:22.320 They have no place.

00:41:23.360 If they don't have a toll tag, they don't have a toll tag to where they get the sun pass, where they can just boop.

00:41:32.560 This is unbelievable.

00:41:33.680 Do we have Miami residents who are willing to fess up to this cover-up?

00:41:36.780 To the fish.

00:41:38.340 Now, there's a difference between when there's a storm, when there's a hurricane, when there's a flood,

00:41:47.600 and just the other day, I saw fish swimming in the streets on a sunny day.

00:41:52.180 Same thing.

00:41:52.720 I know, not to him.

00:41:54.020 By the way, the title of the story, I read that quote from,

00:41:56.500 do fish really swim in Miami's streets?

00:41:58.720 Well, not exactly.

00:42:01.460 And that's the Miami Herald, by the way.

00:42:03.520 So he's still, when did that come out?

00:42:05.300 2015, and Gore was also talking about it in 2015.

00:42:08.680 And he's still talking about it over the weekend.

00:42:10.120 So this is still one of his lead arguments.

00:42:12.140 The other one being that he called the flood in New York City.

00:42:17.120 Yeah, that's a big one.

00:42:18.060 Because in the movie...

00:42:19.800 Well, that was a prediction come true.

00:42:21.080 It is one of the most disingenuous...

00:42:23.840 It's a lie.

00:42:24.320 I mean, it's a straight-out lie.

00:42:25.440 It's a straight-out lie.

00:42:26.300 The levels this man has to go to to accomplish this lie is fascinating.

00:42:30.700 Because he said, well, in the movie, Inconvenient Truth, he shows the World Trade Center memorial site being flooded.

00:42:37.400 And he's like, this is what would happen.

00:42:39.000 And if Greenland were to melt...

00:42:40.680 Right, well, this is the point, because he starts with that.

00:42:43.240 And then his new pitch is, see, I told you the World Trade Center could flood, and it happened way before I said.

00:42:51.540 That's his new pitch for the sequel of Inconvenient Truth.

00:42:54.020 According to Thumb of the Research from Dr. Maslowski, in Thumb, Thumb Among Us.

00:42:59.900 I was actually reading something that quoted a Dr. Maslowski.

00:43:04.280 And I'm like, shut up, it can't be the same guy.

00:43:07.780 It's not.

00:43:08.640 There's another Dr. Maslowski.

00:43:10.820 That's a long-time Al Gore quote, if you're a long-time listener.

00:43:14.080 But, yeah, so he says this.

00:43:17.660 First of all, what he predicted was not a temporary two-day flood from Sandy, which he's trying to take credit for now.

00:43:23.820 It's if Greenland melted.

00:43:25.540 He predicted a permanent flood of these areas.

00:43:27.820 Come on.

00:43:28.180 And a permanent flood caused by the entire melting of the Greenland ice shelf.

00:43:33.800 So there's no ice in Greenland at all anymore.

00:43:36.500 Okay?

00:43:37.100 It all melts, falls into the sea, sea level rises 20 feet, and then these areas are flooded like this.

00:43:43.400 He's taking credit as if that prediction was right.

00:43:46.620 Now, what's amazing about it is he plays a clip from the movie to explain how right he is.

00:43:54.700 Legitimately, the sentence, either the sentence before or the sentence after it, explains that what he is saying is not true.

00:44:03.160 It talks about how Greenland would have to melt, or half of West Antarctica would have to melt, and half of Greenland,

00:44:09.120 for this to happen, which we know has not happened, as he just explained in that clip.

00:44:13.580 Or he said it's, what is it, one cubic kilometer or whatever he said.

00:44:16.440 Whatever it is.

00:44:17.520 Yeah.

00:44:17.760 Which is also kind of picking and choosing his stats.

00:44:22.260 Yes, he is definitely doing that.

00:44:23.160 Because it's growing in some areas.

00:44:25.060 The ice is growing in some areas and melting in others.

00:44:28.560 That's what happens.

00:44:29.860 It happened in the 30s.

00:44:31.080 Happened in the 50s.

00:44:32.040 When it warms up on the planet, Greenland melts a little bit, and in some other places, it actually increases its ice mass.

00:44:42.060 So, he's always doing this, picking and choosing his numbers and changing the parameters of things.

00:44:48.200 I'm glad that we're not like that.

00:44:51.380 That we'll admit that we're wrong when we're wrong.

00:44:54.860 He will not.

00:44:55.920 He's got too much invested in this.

00:44:57.460 Yeah, I know.

00:44:58.340 But you're going to end up, I mean, do people not care about how you're remembered?

00:45:05.700 I mean, maybe I focus on how they're remembered.

00:45:08.920 Look at how celebrated this guy is.

00:45:11.680 He's nothing but a charlatan and a liar.

00:45:14.960 But he's celebrated by the media.

00:45:15.800 How's the media going to be remembered?

00:45:18.080 I mean, I just think everything is going to come undone with all of this stuff.

00:45:22.740 Lies only stand for so long.

00:45:24.860 The truth eventually comes out.

00:45:26.660 It may not be in the next five years or even 20 years.

00:45:30.100 But eventually, everybody's like, everybody makes fun of Al Gore.

00:45:33.460 At some point, Al Gore's children to great-grandchildren are sitting in class going,

00:45:40.120 Oh, geez, I'm not bringing up my stupid great-grandfather.

00:45:42.860 I'm less and less confident of that fact.

00:45:45.720 I mean, look at Woodrow Wilson, how Woodrow Wilson is remembered.

00:45:48.760 And look at pretty good.

00:45:49.700 And start to turn around.

00:45:51.000 Right.

00:45:51.220 So that's positive.

00:45:51.660 It's taken 100 years.

00:45:53.360 But he was the president of the United States.

00:45:55.600 Yeah, but he's been dead for 100 years.

00:45:57.120 He doesn't care what's happening to him now.

00:45:58.740 I mean, he may have cared at the time.

00:46:00.040 Al Gore should have been the president of the United States.

00:46:02.120 I'll tell you that.

00:46:02.600 What did you say?

00:46:03.120 Al Gore should have been the president.

00:46:05.520 I'll tell you that.

00:46:06.020 Shut up.

00:46:07.660 That robbed.

00:46:09.740 Again, on Gore, because I'm glad you brought this back.

00:46:12.900 Think of how disingenuous this is.

00:46:15.000 If I were to say right now, the Golden State Warriors are definitely winning the NBA championship.

00:46:19.340 They are going to be the champions.

00:46:21.080 And you know what?

00:46:22.260 The Cleveland Cavaliers are not going to win a championship for the next 20 years.

00:46:25.520 But eventually, someday, the Cavs will win.

00:46:29.520 And then if the Cavs come back and win the championship this year, I come back and say,

00:46:32.660 I play the tip in a clip that says, the Cavs will win.

00:46:37.720 That is what Gore is doing with this flooding claim.

00:46:40.440 Yeah.

00:46:40.620 He is taking out all of the context of why he said New York would flood, along with tons

00:46:47.400 of other areas around the world that didn't flood in this period.

00:46:50.240 And he's taking credit for that claim.

00:46:52.740 It's impossible.

00:46:53.920 Because of one storm that lasted two or three days.

00:46:56.840 Right.

00:46:57.000 And it was gone and everything's fine.

00:46:58.640 Yeah.

00:46:59.200 All I can think of in this is why would Cleveland have a name of sports team after a bunch of

00:47:05.680 baby cows?

00:47:07.360 Seriously.

00:47:07.800 It's not really a scary thing.

00:47:12.000 It's like, oh, look, the baby cows are coming.

00:47:14.080 No, that's what a stupid thing.

00:47:15.340 It's not how it's spelled.

00:47:18.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:47:21.580 Mercury.

00:47:21.980 I'm really inspired by a story of an environmental attorney who dared take a stand against big

00:47:29.660 business.

00:47:30.120 And it's not any business.

00:47:31.080 It's DuPont.

00:47:31.840 He fought hard to take him down and he didn't stop until he won.

00:47:35.260 Look at all the politicians who say, we're fighting for you.

00:47:37.820 But they're in the pocket of Wall Street and the corporations that make financial gains

00:47:41.660 while they're sacrificing the safety of the American people.

00:47:51.920 That's ProjectBlindsighted.com.

00:47:55.340 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:47:58.500 Remember that CCR song?

00:48:00.220 No.

00:48:00.760 Have you ever?

00:48:01.180 I want to know.

00:48:01.780 I want to know.

00:48:02.040 Have you ever seen the fish swimming through the streets on a sunny day?

00:48:06.120 No, I haven't.

00:48:06.920 Great song.

00:48:07.300 But Dan in Ohio says that he has seen the fish.

00:48:10.960 Oh, boy.

00:48:11.300 You're in Ohio.

00:48:12.180 How did you see this, Dan?

00:48:14.320 Well, I saw it.

00:48:15.280 And the first thing I thought of, and I'm actually really nervous about it, is that Alex Jones

00:48:19.440 is right.

00:48:19.920 The fish people have escaped their cases.

00:48:22.240 Oh, my gosh.

00:48:22.820 Oh, my gosh.

00:48:23.920 Oh, my gosh.

00:48:24.580 On the streets in Miami.

00:48:26.180 Oh, my gosh.

00:48:27.260 It's happening.

00:48:28.160 It's happening.

00:48:28.820 It's happening.

00:48:29.600 The fish people have escaped their cases.

00:48:32.100 In case you don't know, could you just queue it up to that place in the Megyn Kelly promo?

00:48:40.980 In fact, let's just play the whole promo.

00:48:42.360 In case you don't know what he's talking about, Alex Jones is going to be on with Megyn Kelly

00:48:47.660 on NBC next Sunday, and it's pretty darn explosive.

00:48:53.640 He's, listen.

00:48:55.340 His authoritarianism knows humanity's awakening, and it's moving against humanity on a planetary

00:48:59.660 scale.

00:49:00.520 The great global battle for the future of our species is being fought right now.

00:49:04.740 They call you the most paranoid man in America.

00:49:07.320 Is that true?

00:49:08.080 Absolutely not.

00:49:08.880 A paranoid person will be hiding out in their house, not venturing out in public.

00:49:13.080 I go out there on the...

00:49:14.220 It's actually not the dictionary definition of paranoia.

00:49:17.000 Battle Black Lives Matter, the communists, point-blank range.

00:49:20.360 We talked controversies and conspiracies.

00:49:23.820 9-11.

00:49:24.640 Now, 9-11 was an inside job.

00:49:26.580 But when I say inside job, it means criminal elements in our government, working with Saudi

00:49:29.700 Arabia and others, wanted to frame Iraq for it.

00:49:32.240 Just a fact.

00:49:33.020 Sandy Hook.

00:49:33.600 Sandy Hook's complex, because I've had debates where we've devil's advocate said the whole

00:49:37.940 story's true, and then I've had debates where I've said that none of it's true.

00:49:42.600 When you say parents faked their children's death, people get very angry.

00:49:49.040 Oh, I know.

00:49:49.820 But they don't get angry about the half million dead Iraqis from the sanctions, or they don't

00:49:52.860 get angry about all the illegals pouring in.

00:49:54.700 No, no.

00:49:54.940 It's not a dodge.

00:49:56.040 The media never covers all the evil wars it's promoted, all the big things.

00:49:59.340 That doesn't excuse what you did and said about Newtown.

00:50:01.700 Here's the difference.

00:50:03.680 I looked at all the angles of Newtown, and I made my statements long before the media

00:50:09.000 even picked up on it.

00:50:10.560 We didn't get any of the really important stuff.

00:50:12.320 What do you mean?

00:50:12.780 We talked about all the important stuff.

00:50:14.480 Well, here's the big one they always make fun of me.

00:50:15.820 You probably want to throw this in there.

00:50:17.360 30 years ago, they began creating animal-human hybrids.

00:50:22.240 Isn't that the big story Megyn Kelly should be doing?

00:50:24.660 Yes.

00:50:25.160 Yes, it is.

00:50:26.040 About 30 years ago.

00:50:26.780 And good for you, she is doing that story.

00:50:30.240 The human hybrid.

00:50:31.240 So, there you have it.

00:50:32.800 A listener in Ohio has seen the human-fish hybrids.

00:50:37.280 They've now escaped.

00:50:38.200 Escaped and swimming on the streets.

00:50:40.120 Dan, I'm sorry, John will bring us back to Miami.

00:50:43.200 And Al Gore's claimed that fish, he has seen them swimming down the streets on a sunny day.

00:50:49.900 Go ahead, John.

00:50:51.920 I was born on Miami Beach.

00:50:54.120 I've been here 60 years, my whole entire life.

00:50:56.540 We have a king tide every year in October, and the streets flood all on Miami Beach, all over the coast of the Miami side of the intercoastal.

00:51:07.740 It's been going on forever.

00:51:10.100 And we're built on swampland.

00:51:12.320 The swampland is what's sinking, not the water rising.

00:51:16.600 Wow.

00:51:16.920 It's amazing.

00:51:17.660 That's great.

00:51:18.460 We were looking into this a little bit in the break, and that's exactly what the fact-checkers say.

00:51:22.500 It's high tide.

00:51:23.220 But John can only confirm that for 60 years.

00:51:25.960 60 years.

00:51:26.840 It's called king tides, when the tides are at their highest.

00:51:29.580 Not during average daily tides.

00:51:31.220 Also, not in Miami proper.

00:51:34.120 Only in the low coastal outlying areas.

00:51:37.340 So, like, again, every element of that is just, it's very similar to what Alex Jones did with the human hyper.

00:51:44.340 There were experiments.

00:51:45.320 We did this on Pat and Stu a few weeks ago.

00:51:47.140 I can't remember when people were talking about this.

00:51:48.680 Like, there was a set of experiments a while ago where they tried to, like, look at this.

00:51:53.780 I think the aim was to try to grow a human heart or something that you could replace body parts with in an animal, and it didn't work out.

00:52:05.460 Right.

00:52:05.800 And they stopped.

00:52:06.680 Yeah, I mean, but it's funny in that, like, a very tiny shred of truth to make this dramatic claim to get your theology, I'll put it that way, a theology through.

00:52:17.100 Whatever religion you have with Gallagher, it's climate with him, it's conspiracy theories with Alex Jones.

00:52:21.900 But, I mean, those are the same people.

00:52:23.960 Saying they're doing the same exact thing with the issue that they love.

00:52:28.020 That's pretty amazing.

00:52:29.320 Why are you covering up your pig heart?

00:52:32.640 Why is it you're covering up your half-human, half-pig heart?

00:52:35.820 We are much!

00:52:38.600 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:42.120 Mercury.

00:52:46.380 888-727-BECK.

00:52:48.620 This is...

00:52:49.660 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:51.020 I want to talk to you a little bit about business.

00:52:54.400 And how, I mean, an amazing, an amazing business that I found on holiday that is...

00:53:03.960 Nobody does business this way anymore.

00:53:05.800 Found that on holiday?

00:53:07.380 Might?

00:53:08.240 Talk like that.

00:53:11.240 Have you become a strong?

00:53:12.660 I think we're all happy being back from holiday.

00:53:16.460 You're in a different country or a different time?

00:53:19.200 What?

00:53:19.780 Are we in a different country or a different time?

00:53:22.040 I don't know anymore.

00:53:23.120 That was a weird way to put vacation.

00:53:24.640 Well, I don't know why I said holiday of you.

00:53:27.300 I'm very Aussie of you.

00:53:28.020 How very Aussie of me?

00:53:29.220 Mm-hmm.

00:53:29.600 Okay, thank you.

00:53:30.780 Mm-hmm.

00:53:32.200 Now, I'm going to get to that here in a second.

00:53:35.840 And this is truly amazing.

00:53:37.260 Nobody believed me when I told them when we first got together.

00:53:41.360 And I told them about this business, right?

00:53:43.380 Right.

00:53:43.700 None of you believed me.

00:53:44.880 Thought you mocked me.

00:53:46.920 Mocked me and laughed before we went on the air.

00:53:49.420 Mm-hmm.

00:53:50.440 Not laughing now.

00:53:51.500 When you hear the end of the story, you're like, Pat said, quote, how do I get a hold of them?

00:53:57.520 Mm-hmm.

00:53:57.840 We'll tell you about it coming up in just a second.

00:54:00.000 First, we have...

00:54:01.880 Now, this is not a documentary, is it?

00:54:03.900 No, this is the actual footage from the incident.

00:54:06.960 Okay, so, you know, Alex Jones is going to be on Megyn Kelly on Sunday.

00:54:12.760 And he's talking about the human-animal hybrids that they're breeding right now.

00:54:16.480 Right.

00:54:16.780 The government has been breeding and hiding for us.

00:54:18.480 People scuff and laugh at him?

00:54:20.040 Maybe not so much now.

00:54:21.120 Right.

00:54:21.440 We went onto the internet to find any of it, and we found something that proves that we're stupid.

00:54:28.720 Mm-hmm.

00:54:29.180 Now, this is...

00:54:29.860 You're going to hear the doctor?

00:54:31.000 Yes.

00:54:31.440 Okay, go ahead.

00:54:32.000 Now, you're going to think, well, that doctor sounds weirdly like Geena Davis.

00:54:35.680 But Geena Davis is not a doctor.

00:54:37.280 It's not a doctor.

00:54:37.660 So, you know it's not her.

00:54:39.800 I'm afraid!

00:54:40.800 Don't be afraid!

00:54:41.680 No.

00:54:43.100 Be afraid.

00:54:44.200 Mm-hmm.

00:54:44.660 Be very afraid.

00:54:46.240 Wow.

00:54:46.580 Everything about you is changing.

00:54:48.300 Oh, man.

00:54:49.220 You look bad.

00:54:51.660 You smell bad.

00:54:53.100 Mm-hmm.

00:54:53.820 I've never been much of a bather.

00:54:56.760 Good dialogue here.

00:54:57.920 No, wait, hang on.

00:54:58.400 Just a second.

00:54:58.920 I've been...

00:54:59.580 That sounds like Jeff Goldblum.

00:55:01.400 No, but you know it's not, because this was just the actual occurrence.

00:55:04.840 And so what is it?

00:55:05.180 They made him into, like, a cow?

00:55:06.840 Well, he's changing into a fly.

00:55:08.620 He's changing into a fly.

00:55:09.820 This is one of those experiments.

00:55:11.320 Huh?

00:55:11.780 And apparently this guy was brave enough to do the experiment on himself.

00:55:15.240 Okay.

00:55:15.420 Released, and you can't stand it.

00:55:17.040 Right.

00:55:17.540 You'll do anything to bring me down.

00:55:19.060 Mm-hmm.

00:55:22.440 It's getting a donut now.

00:55:23.640 Isn't it an odd point in history where...

00:55:25.520 Ew, and he just barfed on it like a fly would.

00:55:29.400 A fly barfs on donuts?

00:55:30.760 Mm-hmm.

00:55:31.960 That's disgusting.

00:55:33.720 Yeah, it sure is.

00:55:34.380 That's why you don't want to fly the fly behind your stuff.

00:55:36.160 How does a jungle fly eat?

00:55:38.320 Well, he found out the hard and painful way that he's very much the way a fly eats.

00:55:41.600 His teeth are now useless, because although he can chew up solid food, he can't digest it.

00:55:47.340 Solid food hurts.

00:55:47.840 Just a second.

00:55:48.380 Was this documentary...

00:55:50.580 Was this serious at the time?

00:55:52.900 Because I remember this coming out.

00:55:54.580 Yeah, yeah.

00:55:55.080 It was supposed to be a horror film, right?

00:55:57.860 This is...

00:55:58.680 I wanted to like...

00:55:59.760 I've never wanted to watch it after I saw it.

00:56:02.260 This sounds hysterical.

00:56:03.940 It does.

00:56:05.040 It sounds like a really funny movie to go see.

00:56:08.260 He regurgitates on his food.

00:56:10.100 It liquefies, and then he sucks it back up.

00:56:13.760 Oh.

00:56:14.540 Ready for a demonstration, kids?

00:56:16.120 Not really.

00:56:17.360 Here it goes.

00:56:20.040 Oh, my God.

00:56:23.520 Have you ever heard of insect politics?

00:56:27.320 No, actually, I haven't.

00:56:33.880 He's vomiting on the guy now, and I think he's going to then consume him.

00:56:41.580 Okay.

00:56:42.180 So, this is an animal, though.

00:56:44.800 This is an insect-human hybrid, which apparently didn't work out as well as you might hope.

00:56:50.760 I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that insects are kind of animals.

00:56:55.340 Sort of.

00:56:56.000 You know, so I'll give him that.

00:56:58.420 I didn't have the proof that insect-human hybrids were happening until now.

00:57:02.860 Which concept is more bizarre?

00:57:05.680 Insect-human hybrids or Jeff Goldblum as a leading man?

00:57:10.960 What the hell kind of decision was that?

00:57:13.460 Well, let's put him as the star of this film.

00:57:18.060 I mean, you want to make him the eighth character in a movie?

00:57:20.960 Fine.

00:57:21.440 I know.

00:57:21.860 Go ahead.

00:57:22.400 But he always plays the same character.

00:57:23.720 Yes.

00:57:24.160 He's always the guy going, this is crazy.

00:57:26.980 You can't do that.

00:57:28.380 It'll hurt X, Y, or Z.

00:57:30.760 Animal or Planet.

00:57:32.040 He plays the same guy.

00:57:33.400 Jurassic Park.

00:57:35.320 Independence Day.

00:57:35.920 Independence Day.

00:57:36.640 Certainly the same thing there.

00:57:37.500 The Fly.

00:57:37.760 This one, he's kind of...

00:57:38.800 The Fly.

00:57:39.460 Wait.

00:57:41.180 He's sort of the aggressor in The Fly.

00:57:43.200 Like, he's pushing the limits of science and everyone else is being like, hey.

00:57:45.880 Well, that's when he was saying, he was like, you know, I have...

00:57:48.180 I have...

00:57:48.800 There's more to me.

00:57:50.320 Yeah.

00:57:50.520 The just, the gloom and doom guy.

00:57:53.080 He's talking to that doctor who, by the way, people don't know this, but actually robbed

00:57:55.880 a bank with a clown and got away with it, went to an island.

00:58:00.900 I love that documentary.

00:58:02.840 It's a fantastic and underrated...

00:58:04.800 Which documentary is that?

00:58:05.660 Quick Change with Bill Murray.

00:58:07.560 Underrated.

00:58:08.000 Was that good?

00:58:08.820 Yes, it was tremendous.

00:58:10.040 Is that good?

00:58:10.500 The first half of that movie is one of the...

00:58:12.620 It's one of the best movies of the decade surrounding.

00:58:16.660 What you have to remember is, this time period, Stu was very, very young.

00:58:20.880 And what seemed good to like an eight or nine or ten year old...

00:58:24.520 No way.

00:58:24.880 No way.

00:58:24.900 Quick Change was later.

00:58:25.940 No way.

00:58:26.940 Oh, I stand by Quick Change.

00:58:28.200 Be good today.

00:58:29.140 With the exception...

00:58:29.980 By the way, it was 1990.

00:58:30.760 This is okay.

00:58:31.300 So I will tell you, this is how either sloppy we were or how bad the movie was.

00:58:42.440 We had Bill Murray on the show, on the Glenn and Pat show years ago.

00:58:46.480 And it was to promote that movie.

00:58:48.200 And neither of us had done any work on the movie.

00:58:51.620 And we didn't even talk to him about that movie.

00:58:53.920 And I think he was pretty okay with that.

00:58:55.980 No, it was a great movie.

00:58:57.460 No, it was a great movie.

00:58:58.780 Randy Quaid is in it.

00:59:00.560 Randy Quaid ruins every movie he's in.

00:59:03.520 That is kind of a...

00:59:04.880 Especially Independence Day.

00:59:07.100 Oh my...

00:59:07.840 And Quick Change.

00:59:08.360 He's the Jar Jar Binks of human actors.

00:59:12.360 Of film.

00:59:12.580 Of film.

00:59:13.140 Yes.

00:59:13.640 Yeah.

00:59:13.980 By the way, speaking of Jar Jar Binks, did you see that R2-D2 is going up for sale?

00:59:21.240 Quite an hefty price, right?

00:59:23.700 Three million.

00:59:24.700 They're expecting to get...

00:59:25.900 It's at auction.

00:59:26.560 Three million.

00:59:27.100 Three million dollars.

00:59:28.720 For the original R2-D2 from A New Hope.

00:59:31.140 This is A New Hope.

00:59:32.660 Wow.

00:59:33.260 Yeah.

00:59:33.460 That seems even not enough.

00:59:36.440 Yeah, it does not seem...

00:59:37.400 I would have actually expected more for R2-D2.

00:59:39.960 Double digits.

00:59:41.340 Guys, I want you to remember...

00:59:42.960 Three million is more than double digits.

00:59:46.000 Three million dollars is a lot.

00:59:47.460 I'm not saying it's not...

00:59:48.640 Ten million.

00:59:49.320 Can somebody go get that book?

00:59:50.380 It's on my desk.

00:59:51.020 Ten dollars is double digits.

00:59:52.800 Natasha, will you go get that book on my desk about the Hollywood memorabilia stuff?

00:59:57.140 Yes, three million dollars is a lot.

00:59:59.100 But when you have...

01:00:00.500 Can translate any language?

01:00:02.160 You have...

01:00:02.840 Can...

01:00:03.120 He has lasers?

01:00:03.920 No, he doesn't.

01:00:04.500 That electricity thing that can shock people?

01:00:06.740 Has a little saw that comes out and cuts like a rope?

01:00:09.000 Oh, yeah.

01:00:09.260 I hate to break it.

01:00:10.300 I hate to break it to you, but there was a midget inside of that.

01:00:14.240 What?

01:00:15.260 I'm sorry.

01:00:16.080 Yeah.

01:00:17.220 Inside of the saw?

01:00:18.680 A, that's a lie.

01:00:20.180 B, midget is very inappropriate.

01:00:23.720 I mean...

01:00:24.920 A little person.

01:00:25.680 There was a little person inside.

01:00:27.600 Does the little person come with it?

01:00:28.720 No.

01:00:29.400 No.

01:00:29.820 No.

01:00:30.740 That's confirmed?

01:00:31.140 So you've got a big piece of plastic for three million dollars.

01:00:37.000 Although, wouldn't you love to have that?

01:00:38.400 Wouldn't you love to have that?

01:00:39.580 Oh, man.

01:00:39.600 Oh, my gosh.

01:00:40.620 That'd be incredible.

01:00:41.640 And there's the whole...

01:00:42.240 But how bad would you feel, honestly?

01:00:44.640 You know, because somebody has to say to the person who gets it, just if you know the

01:00:50.280 person who gets it, unless it's a museum, you gotta say to the person, you know how many

01:00:56.260 people you could have fed with three million dollars?

01:00:58.280 I mean, you have to say that.

01:00:59.280 I mean, you would at some point go, I paid three million dollars for a piece of plastic

01:01:04.080 that in a hundred years, nobody will have any idea what it's about.

01:01:08.980 I don't know if that's true.

01:01:10.360 I don't know if it's true.

01:01:11.120 Star Wars, I mean, you know, we know the movie.

01:01:15.280 I mean, Gone with the Wind is going to...

01:01:17.240 People are going to know what it is.

01:01:18.200 And you look at what happens with the prices of stuff from Gone with the Wind.

01:01:22.040 Yeah, low.

01:01:22.540 This is...

01:01:22.900 Oh, yeah.

01:01:23.440 Yeah.

01:01:23.600 Star Wars, though.

01:01:24.220 This is Gone with the Wind, right?

01:01:26.020 Let me take a break.

01:01:26.980 I'm going to share.

01:01:27.440 This is an auction.

01:01:28.660 I think this auction is really made for museums.

01:01:31.420 If Mercury had more money, we would be...

01:01:35.120 I could open a Mercury museum tomorrow.

01:01:38.120 Just with that piece, I think.

01:01:39.520 Just with that piece.

01:01:40.220 But just with the stuff that's in this, there's some amazing things in here.

01:01:43.860 But it shows how shallow these things are.

01:01:51.880 Because once it gets past the childhood, once it gets past the,

01:01:56.480 oh, that was my childhood, that was, oh, I remember that,

01:02:00.620 with very few exceptions, Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka,

01:02:08.460 it goes away.

01:02:09.220 Now, Star Wars will hang because it's been generational.

01:02:13.120 Yeah.

01:02:13.180 But there's very few things of your childhood.

01:02:16.280 There's lots of stuff in here you're like, oh, my gosh, I remember that.

01:02:19.720 And that was important, but not anymore.

01:02:23.080 Now it's like, yeah, give me a buck fifty, I'll give you the plastic sword.

01:02:26.860 I mean, it's really quite amazing what you think might go for something

01:02:31.660 and is actually declining in value.

01:02:34.460 And then the new hot things are going up in value.

01:02:38.680 That's interesting.

01:02:39.520 I mean, but Star Wars is the thing.

01:02:41.680 Oh, yeah, no, no.

01:02:42.000 Star Wars changed everything.

01:02:43.380 Star Wars is in a league of its own.

01:02:44.800 The lightsaber that Obi-Wan threw to Luke and said, this was your father's,

01:02:54.120 that's up for sale.

01:02:55.340 That one.

01:02:56.040 Wow.

01:02:56.920 And again, it's a piece of plastic.

01:02:59.580 $2.5 million.

01:03:01.180 You getting that?

01:03:02.760 No.

01:03:03.500 Surprisingly, no.

01:03:04.400 I'm not.

01:03:04.720 No.

01:03:04.920 I just want to put it into context.

01:03:07.600 The Constitution, the first draft of the Constitution that belonged to George Washington

01:03:14.280 and had his signature and notes on it went for $10 million.

01:03:18.660 A piece of plastic that does nothing is $3 million.

01:03:23.260 And it may surpass that.

01:03:25.300 I think it will.

01:03:26.240 When is the auction?

01:03:27.700 This week.

01:03:28.820 No, next week.

01:03:29.700 26th, 27th, and 28th.

01:03:31.480 They take checks?

01:03:34.120 From you?

01:03:35.060 Probably not.

01:03:36.820 You're listening.

01:03:37.860 You're listening.

01:03:39.340 To the Glenn Beck Program.

01:03:41.840 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:03:47.420 Mercury.

01:03:51.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:03:53.360 Sign up for the newsletter and get all the info you need to know at glennbeck.com.

01:03:57.400 So you want to go to pop culture.

01:03:59.720 And how valuable is pop culture after a while?

01:04:03.000 For instance, the Flying Monkey capes, you know, from Wizard of Oz, you can buy those now

01:04:11.760 for $3,000.

01:04:14.200 The Spear is $12,000.

01:04:17.640 One of the Spears they did.

01:04:19.680 Another one of the Flying Capes is $3,000.

01:04:24.140 So that one's kind of holding its value.

01:04:27.100 Gone with the Wind.

01:04:28.500 Rhett's jacket is for sale at auction between $40,000 and $60,000.

01:04:33.220 So that's still pretty good.

01:04:35.360 But Casablanca.

01:04:36.720 The Casablanca, the doors of the, you know, Rick's Cafe American.

01:04:42.900 $150,000 for the full doors.

01:04:47.800 But the set pieces are $20,000.

01:04:50.940 That's Casablanca.

01:04:52.040 Probably the most famous American movie that I can think of.

01:04:57.460 The original King Kong.

01:04:59.700 Props from the original King Kong.

01:05:01.940 $1,500 is the most expensive.

01:05:06.120 Wow.

01:05:07.040 That's the original King Kong.

01:05:08.640 Those would be some cool stuff.

01:05:09.340 That would be some nice stuff to have from that movie.

01:05:11.220 But listen, so that's the original King Kong.

01:05:16.200 $1,200.

01:05:17.740 The petticoat.

01:05:19.840 Not the dress.

01:05:22.060 The petticoat.

01:05:23.520 Worn by Mary Poppins.

01:05:26.420 $8,000.

01:05:28.200 In the movie.

01:05:30.940 Try this.

01:05:32.020 You think that there's some things that just don't hold their value.

01:05:36.580 Lucille Ball's black and white dotted dress.

01:05:39.340 The most famous dress she's ever done.

01:05:42.080 Sold in auction.

01:05:44.320 It doesn't say what year.

01:05:46.200 For $168,000.

01:05:48.740 It's now estimated to go between $40,000 and $60,000 at this auction.

01:05:54.300 The actual Superman cape from The Adventures of Superman.

01:05:58.380 The one that we watched when we were kids.

01:06:00.300 The black and white and then it went to full color.

01:06:03.280 That Superman.

01:06:04.860 George Reeves.

01:06:06.660 The actual Superman cape and body outfit.

01:06:10.260 $20,000.

01:06:12.980 To put that into perspective.

01:06:15.560 Jerry Seinfeld's puffy shirt.

01:06:18.900 $20,000.

01:06:20.200 Sorry, $15,000.

01:06:21.960 His puffy shirt.

01:06:23.200 Kramer's jacket.

01:06:25.660 $800.

01:06:28.560 Let's see.

01:06:29.120 There's a couple of.

01:06:30.820 James Gandolfini's Tony Soprano costume.

01:06:34.520 $6,000.

01:06:35.340 I mean, how many of those did he wear?

01:06:37.120 The Kramer's jacket.

01:06:37.960 That's the one with him having the pipe, right?

01:06:41.180 No, they have the pipe and the glasses for sale, too.

01:06:43.760 Really?

01:06:44.200 Yeah.

01:06:44.420 The puffy shirt.

01:06:45.280 You remember the puffy shirt.

01:06:46.560 Right, but the Kramer's jacket, though.

01:06:48.160 There's a famous poster of him.

01:06:49.720 No, it's the one that he wore all the time.

01:06:53.460 That brown jacket that he wore all the time.

01:06:55.920 That's a deal at $800, I would say.

01:06:57.880 I think so, too.

01:06:58.300 I wear that one to parties, so that would be fun.

01:06:59.760 Yeah, Clint Eastwood's hat.

01:07:01.200 The one that you've always seen him in.

01:07:03.360 $15,000.

01:07:04.980 Anyway, the disco.

01:07:07.240 Who even knew this was even still intact?

01:07:11.100 The Saturday Night Fever dance floor.

01:07:13.960 Wow.

01:07:14.400 Does it still work?

01:07:15.360 It still works.

01:07:16.360 Let me read this.

01:07:17.480 It's amazing.

01:07:19.140 That'd be kind of cool to hear.

01:07:20.080 That would.

01:07:20.800 Yeah.

01:07:22.160 Dance floor, blah, blah, blah.

01:07:23.340 How much do you think this went for?

01:07:24.860 For 1975, the floor remains as it was constructed for the film.

01:07:31.220 It has been used for a couple of things.

01:07:35.820 It went from the movie to the Spectrum in New York, and was the dance floor in the Spectrum

01:07:41.480 until 77, and it was taken out and used for a Glee tribute episode called Saturday Night

01:07:47.400 Gleever.

01:07:48.000 I do remember that one.

01:07:49.320 Going for $1.5 million.

01:07:52.920 Wow.

01:07:53.960 The dance floor from Saturday Night Fever.

01:07:56.380 How much are the ears of Spock?

01:07:58.800 Original?

01:08:00.120 Six grand.

01:08:03.080 Glenn Beck.

01:08:05.760 Mercury.

01:08:06.500 Mercury.

01:08:06.860 Mercury.

01:08:07.500 Mercury.

01:08:07.860 Mercury.

01:08:08.620 Mercury.

01:08:08.940 Mercury.

01:08:09.320 Mercury.

01:08:09.820 Mercury.

01:08:10.000 Mercury.

01:08:10.040 Mercury.

01:08:10.500 Mercury.

01:08:10.540 Mercury.

01:08:11.000 Mercury.

01:08:11.040 Mercury.

01:08:11.160 Mercury.

01:08:11.180 Mercury.

01:08:11.620 Mercury.

01:08:13.280 Mercury.

01:08:13.820 Mercury.

01:08:16.180 Mercury.

01:08:16.380 The Blaze Radio Network.

01:08:25.300 On demand.

01:08:28.540 Boy, we are running out of time.

01:08:29.980 We have a lot to talk about.

01:08:31.720 We want to touch on Brexit.

01:08:34.340 Theresa May, I mean, you know, pigs get slaughtered is the Wall Street term.

01:08:40.800 She got greedy, and she thought she was going to have even a bigger landslide behind her.

01:08:48.680 She calls for elections.

01:08:50.120 Now it looks like she's going to be out in the next six months.

01:08:52.900 They're calling her a lame duck prime minister.

01:08:55.020 It was foolish, and now it looks like Brexit is also up in the air.

01:09:00.040 At the same time, while we were talking about the memo and the Comey letter, the rest of the world was paying attention to what was happening over in the Middle East.

01:09:11.700 You're beginning to see the new fight for the caliphate.

01:09:17.180 You're now, it is, it has progressed so far to now people are positioning themselves on who's going to run this caliphate.

01:09:26.600 We'll tell you what happened to Qatar over the last week.

01:09:31.000 We do that right now.

01:09:32.440 I will make a stand.

01:09:35.900 I will raise my voice.

01:09:38.180 I will hold your hand.

01:09:40.600 Because we are one.

01:09:42.400 I will beat my drum.

01:09:44.640 I have made my choice.

01:09:46.900 We will overcome.

01:09:49.220 Because we are one.

01:09:51.240 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:09:54.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:10:00.920 Let's go, let's start with the Middle East.

01:10:04.280 What we're witnessing now is in real time the fundamental transformation of the Middle East.

01:10:09.760 When it is all said and done, I believe new countries are going to have merged.

01:10:14.240 Old countries will have changed their national boundaries and a new caliphate may be born.

01:10:20.180 A real caliphate, not the ISIS caliphate.

01:10:25.540 What happened just in the last two weeks is truly amazing.

01:10:30.900 Because the Middle East is being redrawn now at a level that hasn't been seen since the French and the British did it in World War I.

01:10:41.680 This is going to impact all of us.

01:10:45.820 Nobody's been giving you, I think, this information.

01:10:48.220 So let me give you this information so you have it.

01:10:50.840 And I'm going to do a chalkboard tonight at 5 o'clock on The Blaze TV.

01:10:54.200 You can subscribe or watch at theblaze.com slash TV.

01:10:57.820 But what we're seeing now is, imagine if the world had social media, it had Facebook and everything else in 1916.

01:11:07.800 And we were able to witness the Sykes-Picot Agreement play out.

01:11:12.540 We're seeing Sykes-Picot too.

01:11:14.980 Now, Sykes-Picot is the reason we have ISIS.

01:11:18.280 It is the French and the English divvying up the Middle East, drawing new boundaries.

01:11:24.580 That's why you have the Kurds without a state.

01:11:29.080 You know, that's why Israel is where it is and the borders are where they are.

01:11:34.980 That wasn't natural.

01:11:36.220 That was Europe coming in and saying,

01:11:39.180 OK, French, you own this part, we own this part, and they divvied it up.

01:11:42.920 The outcome of these guys fighting for their own territory and fighting over the head of the caliphate is yet unknown.

01:11:54.060 But it is going to become very, very dangerous.

01:11:56.660 Last week, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and the UAE severed all diplomatic ties with Qatar.

01:12:04.540 And Yemen and the Maldives had already done that.

01:12:08.520 Now, did you guys hear about that?

01:12:11.220 Well, kind of.

01:12:13.500 Yeah, only in vacation.

01:12:14.760 And was anybody, was anybody, did you hear anybody say, this is really important?

01:12:19.980 No.

01:12:21.580 Here's why, here's why this is important.

01:12:24.740 Not only did they cut off all diplomatic ties with Qatar,

01:12:28.180 but they also cut off all land, sea, and air routes to Qatar.

01:12:33.940 Why is Qatar an important nation?

01:12:36.660 Well, Qatar is the home of Al Jazeera.

01:12:42.160 You know, the one that Hillary Clinton says feels like a real network because you don't get commercials on it.

01:12:46.800 Al Jazeera failed over here in the United States, no matter how hard people pushed for it.

01:12:52.280 It failed here in the United States.

01:12:54.000 But they have been influencing the Middle East.

01:12:59.960 But it is the Qatari government that is running Al Jazeera.

01:13:04.880 And they are part of the Muslim Brotherhood.

01:13:07.140 So, this is unprecedented.

01:13:11.800 We've never seen anything like this.

01:13:13.720 They are one of the leading sponsors.

01:13:15.260 They're number two on the leading sponsors of terror in the Middle East.

01:13:19.320 The Saudis are the lead financiers for radical Islam.

01:13:25.980 And it seems weird that anybody in the Saudis, you know, anybody in the Saudi world would be like,

01:13:30.820 hey, these guys are dangerous.

01:13:33.940 But there's a fundamental difference between the way the Saudis and the Qataris do business.

01:13:39.920 They sponsor Islamist groups specifically to bring about regime change in the Middle East.

01:13:46.420 Saudi Arabia is not doing that.

01:13:47.700 They bring about regime change over in the United States and abroad.

01:13:53.240 They're also a refuge for the Muslim Brotherhood, which has been busy infiltrating governments in Egypt, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia,

01:14:00.660 the entire Middle East, like Iran.

01:14:03.540 They not only support the Sunni groups, but also the Shia radicals as well.

01:14:11.920 They just want unrest.

01:14:15.160 And they'll take it from either side.

01:14:17.700 So finally, the neighbors around Qatar said, yeah, I don't think this is going to be happening anymore.

01:14:25.340 So now let's consider everything that's happening in the Middle East.

01:14:29.620 ISIS declared the first caliphate in the modern era.

01:14:32.700 Now they're in their death throes.

01:14:35.180 Syria barely even exists anymore as an actual country.

01:14:38.900 Iraq as well.

01:14:40.060 Barely can be called a legitimate nation state.

01:14:43.180 A Kurdish Marxist Leninist state is about to be born in what used to be called northern Syria.

01:14:49.600 The democratic Kurdish state in northern Iraq is on the verge of becoming their own nation.

01:14:56.020 So in all of this chaos, the strongest players in the region are looking at the chessboard and looking to take advantage.

01:15:05.380 Iran has basically already taken control of the Iraqi government and their militia is spread all the way over, all the way to the Mediterranean.

01:15:12.880 They're looking to create what they call a Shia Crescent, which will enable Iran to project more power in ways than it has been able to ever before.

01:15:22.920 Turkey just sent troops to Qatar.

01:15:26.260 All of the Middle Eastern nations are against Qatar.

01:15:31.620 Turkey has been promising troops forever.

01:15:34.900 They finally sent troops now into Qatar.

01:15:38.940 So they're backing Qatar.

01:15:40.740 Why?

01:15:41.600 Because they're a Muslim Brotherhood state.

01:15:44.460 So what happens after the ISIS capital of Raqqa falls and the U.S. coalition abandons the Syrian Kurds?

01:15:53.900 Turkey is going to sweep in.

01:15:55.320 Turkey can't have the Syrian Kurds.

01:15:58.480 They're a Leninist, Marxist, terrorist group that we're backing now.

01:16:04.000 They'll move in.

01:16:05.520 Will they take Mosul?

01:16:07.840 Who could stop them?

01:16:09.920 Who's going to stop Turkey at this point?

01:16:12.900 And why would Turkey do that?

01:16:14.620 Because Erdogan wants to be the leader of the caliphate.

01:16:20.640 So sides are being taken now.

01:16:22.240 And this is why the Saudis and the Gulf neighbors did what they did last week.

01:16:28.040 Qatar has to decide.

01:16:29.860 Are you on team Saudi Arabia, which is getting weaker and weaker because of the oil prices?

01:16:34.860 Or are you on team Turkey?

01:16:36.780 This is a move to force Turkey's hand.

01:16:41.940 Erdogan responded.

01:16:44.980 He picked team Turkey.

01:16:48.360 I'm sorry.

01:16:51.460 He picked Qatar, not Saudi Arabia.

01:16:53.880 It would be weird if he wouldn't do his own country.

01:16:57.920 You know, I'm going with the other guys.

01:16:59.940 They seem to have it all together.

01:17:01.120 So the old Sykes-Pico lines are falling apart and what you're seeing now.

01:17:08.300 And it's going to be interesting and quite frightening to watch.

01:17:11.640 But the power vacuum is going to be filled.

01:17:17.580 And Saudi Arabia and all of these things could change in the next year or so.

01:17:22.120 And you saw the beginning of it with Qatar.

01:17:27.060 And they're saying that Qatar may have to close down Al Jazeera as a result of all of this.

01:17:35.560 Wow.

01:17:36.260 Where is Hillary Clinton going to get her news?

01:17:38.040 Just to fix their diplomatic ties.

01:17:38.640 Right.

01:17:39.100 I don't know.

01:17:39.560 Where is she going to get her news?

01:17:40.360 I don't know.

01:17:41.260 Well, that's because they are, I mean, this is what we talked about under, you know, Barack Obama when he was cozying up.

01:17:50.320 And everybody has cozied up to Qatar.

01:17:52.860 And they were selling Al Jazeera to us.

01:17:55.500 It's Muslim brotherhood.

01:17:57.500 When you are too radical for Saudi Arabia, maybe we should have known that the whole time.

01:18:05.500 Maybe we should have admitted that the whole time.

01:18:07.980 Yeah.

01:18:08.240 And what's not to love about Al Jazeera?

01:18:11.260 You know, do I need to remind you of what Hillary said?

01:18:14.620 And in fact, viewership of Al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it's real news.

01:18:19.700 You may not agree with it, but you feel like you're getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news, which, you know, is not particularly informative.

01:18:32.520 They'll cut your head off.

01:18:33.040 The heads don't talk because they're rolling on the ground.

01:18:35.000 They're rolling on the ground.

01:18:36.340 You say that opinion and you die.

01:18:39.020 So you're right.

01:18:39.680 There are no talking heads.

01:18:40.560 That is really incredible.

01:18:41.840 It's incredible.

01:18:42.600 She would say that state-sponsored, Arabic state-sponsored Al Jazeera is removed.

01:18:49.540 From the number two source of terror.

01:18:53.620 Unbelievable.

01:18:54.100 Oh, when we worked at CNN, there was a lot of love for state-sponsored broadcasting among that sort of journalistic.

01:19:03.360 And it's funny because CNN is obviously not, I mean, as much as it's agreed with the state at times, it's certainly not right now.

01:19:09.680 It's not a state-sponsored entity.

01:19:11.120 It's a private company.

01:19:11.940 They're making a lot of money.

01:19:12.820 But, man, a lot of the journalists there believe that it's a good model.

01:19:17.860 Like, the BBC is a really good model.

01:19:19.460 You get real news from those things.

01:19:20.880 And it's like, well, is that real?

01:19:22.920 I mean, you're getting, you're getting, if it's state-sponsored, yes, you can have some disagreement.

01:19:27.540 And, like, the BBC does some things with their news that, that is, they do some good reporting, obviously.

01:19:32.400 They do good reporting.

01:19:33.480 However, they do a lot that I, you know, that winds up falling directly in line with what the state believes.

01:19:39.140 And it's certainly much more dramatic in places like, you know, Qatar.

01:19:42.440 You would never have, if you understood the balance of power and you understood the Constitution, you would never have state-sponsored media.

01:19:51.580 Never.

01:19:52.040 No, and by the way, we have it, too.

01:19:53.720 We just have options.

01:19:54.600 Yeah.

01:19:55.040 We just have options.

01:19:55.800 Yeah.

01:19:55.940 But, I mean, the same thing happens there.

01:19:58.640 I mean, it should, that shouldn't, that should not exist.

01:20:00.800 They should not be in that business at all.

01:20:02.780 Well, I will tell you this.

01:20:04.080 Even the Republicans are confused on who our friends are.

01:20:07.820 Who was it?

01:20:08.360 Dana Rohrabacher?

01:20:09.580 Yeah.

01:20:09.900 Who, who, I don't know if you heard this.

01:20:11.840 Listen to this.

01:20:14.640 We have recently seen an attack on Iran and the Iranian government.

01:20:23.340 The Mullahs believe that the Sunni forces have attacked them.

01:20:28.980 This may signal a ratcheting up of certain commitments by the United States of America.

01:20:39.360 And as far as I'm concerned, I just want to make this point and see what you think.

01:20:44.440 Isn't it a good thing for us to have the United States finally backing up Sunnis who will attack

01:20:52.140 Hezbollah and the Shiite threat to us?

01:20:56.540 Isn't that a good thing?

01:20:57.940 That's ISIS.

01:20:58.640 And if so, maybe this is a Trump, maybe it's a Trump strategy of actually supporting one

01:21:08.360 group against another, considering that you have two terrorist organizations.

01:21:14.440 That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

01:21:16.280 Yeah.

01:21:16.480 And the guy doesn't even know how to answer it.

01:21:18.080 Listen to this.

01:21:18.860 Those attacks were claimed by the Islamic State.

01:21:21.080 It's never in our interest to support a terrorist group like the Islamic State.

01:21:24.380 We should condemn the attacks in Iran as we would condemn any act of terrorism, even as

01:21:29.340 we hold Iran accountable for its sponsorship.

01:21:31.480 Yes.

01:21:32.000 So that's like Joe Stalin was a horrible guy.

01:21:35.220 We must never associate with horrible guys like that, even to get Hitler.

01:21:40.340 And so maybe it's a good idea to have radical Muslim terrorists fighting each other.

01:21:49.240 I'll leave it at that.

01:21:50.360 I mean, having coordinated the economic warfare plan against the Islamic State, I would not

01:21:55.700 condone an attack by the Islamic State.

01:21:58.540 That's incredible.

01:22:00.120 Yeah, it is.

01:22:00.580 Just incredible.

01:22:02.280 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:05.260 Mercury.

01:22:09.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:12.120 This is really exciting.

01:22:16.500 1791 is doing something this coming weekend here at the studios in Las Colinas.

01:22:23.560 This is the first opportunity for somebody to, for customers to shop in person for 1791.

01:22:31.520 Everything that 1791 makes is made here in the United States, and they've committed themselves

01:22:37.220 to making a high-quality product, and because we've made them here in America, our jeans,

01:22:42.740 the Edward Janssen line jean is, I think, what, $60 or $70.

01:22:48.220 Still, it's not, you know, a Walmart price, but it's not a Walmart jean either.

01:22:52.280 It's not made in China.

01:22:53.180 This is really good denim made here in the United States.

01:22:56.820 Anyway, they're having a...

01:22:58.560 It's not made by elves in a hollow tree.

01:23:00.280 No.

01:23:01.080 That's actually the headquarters.

01:23:02.300 Those are the cookies.

01:23:03.820 Those are the cookies.

01:23:04.920 Will there be cookies this weekend?

01:23:06.400 I don't know if there's cookies.

01:23:07.980 But anyway, the studios will be open this weekend, Saturday, noon to six, and Sunday,

01:23:14.240 two to six.

01:23:15.880 And you'll be able to come by, and they've got food, and yes, I guess they do have cookies.

01:23:21.060 Yes.

01:23:21.340 They have food and everything else, and a chance for you to shop as we clean out the warehouse

01:23:25.080 of 1791, go to 1791.com for more information.

01:23:30.540 That is this weekend.

01:23:32.360 I was reading a book on vacation, Mistakes Were Made But Not By Me, and in it, you know,

01:23:41.460 it talks about how there's this cognitive dissonance and how you just don't want to say that you've

01:23:47.260 made mistakes, and there's something that, through the evolutionary process of being able

01:23:54.120 to be able to handle, you know, the things that you've done, the things that you've thought,

01:24:01.220 et cetera, et cetera, that you actually have a self-protecting mechanism that won't let

01:24:08.080 you look at the things that you have done, and it just kind of, you just justify it.

01:24:14.860 Deny.

01:24:16.160 Deny.

01:24:17.240 Deny.

01:24:18.140 Yeah, I know, Jeffy.

01:24:19.280 Deny.

01:24:20.380 And yet, we still, we are people that really want, we really want somebody else to tell

01:24:26.860 the truth.

01:24:27.640 When it comes down to it, we want somebody else.

01:24:30.120 We just, oh man, I just wish somebody would just say, it was my fault.

01:24:34.680 Well, there's a couple of stories here that I think are amazing of people who have told

01:24:40.660 their, that said it was their fault, and they should be known.

01:24:43.440 I think these guys are heroes.

01:24:44.980 Listen to this one.

01:24:46.300 Wayne Hale Jr.

01:24:48.080 Ever heard of him before?

01:24:49.560 Ever heard his name?

01:24:50.740 No.

01:24:51.980 You should.

01:24:54.080 Wayne Hale Jr., he was the launch integration manager at NASA.

01:24:59.560 So I think he's the guy who says, you know, to all of the different departments, are we

01:25:05.060 good to go?

01:25:05.520 We good to go?

01:25:06.100 We good to go?

01:25:06.620 We good to go?

01:25:07.080 And he makes the final launch decision, I think.

01:25:10.240 In 2003, he was the launch integration manager at NASA for the space shuttle Columbia.

01:25:18.880 Columbia blew up.

01:25:21.000 Before there was an inquiry, before anybody even said what the heck happened, he wrote

01:25:26.640 an email to all of NASA.

01:25:28.400 Listen to this.

01:25:29.940 I had the opportunity and the information, and I failed to make use of it.

01:25:33.960 I don't know what an inquest or a court of law would say, but I stand condemned in the

01:25:39.320 court of my own conscience to be guilty of not preventing the Columbia disaster.

01:25:43.980 We can discuss the particulars, inattention, incompetence, distraction, lack of conviction,

01:25:49.260 lack of understanding, a lack of backbone, or laziness.

01:25:52.960 But the bottom line is, I failed to understand what I was being told.

01:25:58.080 I failed to stand up and be counted.

01:26:00.780 Therefore, I look no further, because I am guilty of allowing Columbia to crash.

01:26:07.100 Wow.

01:26:07.840 Holy cow.

01:26:09.920 Wow.

01:26:11.300 So what happened to that guy?

01:26:14.060 What do you think happened to him?

01:26:15.220 Um, got fired?

01:26:20.360 Promoted?

01:26:20.980 I mean, the risk of doing that is you are essentially convicting yourself for people looking for a

01:26:26.460 head.

01:26:27.000 Yeah.

01:26:27.300 Right?

01:26:27.560 Someone's looking for heads to roll, and now you're telling them which head should roll.

01:26:32.340 Here's what happened to him.

01:26:33.980 After this, he was promoted to manager of the entire space shuttle program at NASA.

01:26:41.820 Wow.

01:26:42.300 You want somebody with integrity.

01:26:45.520 You want someone with integrity.

01:26:47.940 That guy has it.

01:26:49.880 Back in a minute.

01:27:02.760 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:05.660 Mercury.

01:27:09.820 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:12.300 A couple things.

01:27:15.520 I want to tell you about a small business that I found, and I found it through my son-in-law.

01:27:21.860 I thought it was pretty amazing.

01:27:25.320 You know, if you're a long-time listener of the program, you know that I have had a problem

01:27:32.300 with the water company in my town.

01:27:36.080 Minor.

01:27:37.160 Minor issue.

01:27:38.060 A $10,000 minor issue.

01:27:40.780 Right.

01:27:41.120 They said that we used $10,000 worth of water at my home in a month, and, you know, we had

01:27:48.620 people come out and estimate, and there's no way for every faucet on that we could use

01:27:54.100 $10,000 worth of water.

01:27:56.680 But that's a different story.

01:27:58.520 So, my kids live down the street, and they got a water bill for like, I don't know, $900

01:28:07.700 or $1,100, something like that.

01:28:09.580 And there's no way they're using that.

01:28:12.360 And I'm like, it's this water company.

01:28:16.140 So, they call Berkey's, this place that has dug up my front lawn before, and found nothing.

01:28:22.100 And they called Berkey's, and Berkey's came out and said, okay, well, there's water down

01:28:26.740 here by your fence, so maybe you've got to leak someplace.

01:28:28.940 We can dig up your lawn.

01:28:30.460 And they were like, no, we just saw that movie.

01:28:32.460 No, we're not going to do that.

01:28:33.560 $5,000.

01:28:35.460 So, they're talking about it amongst friends, and a guy who works here, Mark, he said, oh,

01:28:40.640 I've got a pipe whisperer.

01:28:44.600 And a pipe whisperer.

01:28:47.020 He whispers to pipes?

01:28:48.660 Apparently so.

01:28:49.980 I had a friend called that a long time ago, too.

01:28:52.620 What'd you say?

01:28:53.540 I had a friend called that a long time ago, too.

01:28:56.120 Yeah, I don't want to hear about that.

01:28:57.580 Anyway, so a pipe whisperer.

01:29:00.100 And he said, I know this sounds crazy, but he comes and he puts his ear to your faucets.

01:29:07.360 And he says.

01:29:08.300 So weird.

01:29:08.900 Okay.

01:29:10.040 $250.

01:29:10.420 This is not true.

01:29:11.160 You're making this up.

01:29:12.000 This is absolutely true.

01:29:13.400 It was like $256, okay, for him to come out.

01:29:17.720 And Tim said, we just felt like idiots.

01:29:21.620 You know, he comes out and he's like, I need to listen to the garden hose.

01:29:25.060 You know, what is the garden hose going to say to you?

01:29:27.020 I feel all tense and wrapped up inside.

01:29:30.380 What is a garden hose?

01:29:31.280 I aspire to be a snake someday.

01:29:34.480 So he puts the hose to his ear.

01:29:38.900 He's like, nope, this is off.

01:29:41.500 I've got to go.

01:29:42.460 It's not wet.

01:29:43.420 It's off.

01:29:43.860 I've got to go to the other one.

01:29:45.200 Nope, this one's off.

01:29:46.800 I've got to go inside.

01:29:47.720 I have to listen to the toilet.

01:29:48.900 He puts his ear on the toilet.

01:29:50.360 Stop it.

01:29:51.100 Swear to you.

01:29:51.960 Swear to you.

01:29:53.140 Listens to the sinks.

01:29:54.800 Listens to everything.

01:29:55.800 Okay, now at this point, Tim is like, this is crazy.

01:30:00.200 What have I done?

01:30:01.720 What have I done?

01:30:02.460 I'm listening to a guy who's walking around listening to the faucets.

01:30:06.180 Right.

01:30:06.760 And he is like that.

01:30:07.600 He's like, I have to have total silence, please.

01:30:09.640 And so he goes into a bathroom that, and don't ask me how, somehow is connected, you know,

01:30:20.320 the bathroom's connected to the swimming pool.

01:30:23.800 I don't know how, but, and it's, I'm never, remind me never to swim there.

01:30:27.680 But somehow or another, he put his, he went outside and he listened to the, the toilet out there.

01:30:33.500 And he was like, this is running, but it's not the toilet.

01:30:39.100 He's like, where's your, where's your pool stuff?

01:30:42.640 And he's like, oh, over here.

01:30:44.020 He listens to us all off and he's, and he's just listening.

01:30:46.780 Shh, quiet.

01:30:47.300 This is running.

01:30:51.180 Where's your, where's your drain?

01:30:53.280 And he goes over to the drain and lifts off the cover and he's listening.

01:30:57.240 And he's like, this is running.

01:31:00.340 And he's like, no, it's not.

01:31:01.360 It's off.

01:31:01.800 No, this is running.

01:31:03.220 I've, your stopper is your, whatever it's called is broken.

01:31:06.040 The thing that like you have a little floaty in the toilet tank that tells you that the pool is full.

01:31:11.580 And he's like, it's broken.

01:31:13.140 Where, show me where that is.

01:31:14.620 And somehow or another, Tim knew where it was.

01:31:16.520 It took him over and he's like, it's broken.

01:31:18.020 Look, it's on.

01:31:19.480 And the pool was not telling itself that it was off.

01:31:24.840 And so it was just continually filling up and draining the water down by the fence where they wanted to dig it up.

01:31:34.180 $256.

01:31:35.020 That's amazing.

01:31:36.020 So the guy really did find the problem.

01:31:37.260 He really did.

01:31:37.780 And they fixed it.

01:31:38.620 And so here it is.

01:31:40.800 $256 fixed.

01:31:42.760 And he said, Tim was like, I got to pay you more.

01:31:45.460 And that would have cost me five grand.

01:31:46.680 And I would have had nothing.

01:31:47.640 And he's like, no, it's $256.

01:31:50.500 That's, that's what I charged.

01:31:52.100 That's it.

01:31:52.740 It's like, I'm thrilled that we found it.

01:31:55.260 So this is, it's not like it's.

01:31:57.780 Wow.

01:31:57.920 The name of the company is S&S Leak Detective.

01:32:03.560 They're called, they were referred to us, I guess, by the leak geeks.

01:32:07.520 And his name is Sean Janky.

01:32:10.980 Wasn't Ace Ventura Leak Detective?

01:32:13.980 That doesn't sound like a real job.

01:32:15.800 Yeah, I know.

01:32:16.380 But it was, apparently.

01:32:17.280 And, I mean, amazing.

01:32:20.080 We, we sat and.

01:32:21.080 To listen to the pipe and just discern the problem from that?

01:32:24.700 That's amazing.

01:32:26.100 That's amazing.

01:32:27.380 It's two times now.

01:32:28.480 And a little bit creepy.

01:32:29.600 Mark has had this done at his house.

01:32:31.340 Had a leak.

01:32:31.840 They couldn't find it.

01:32:33.400 And he said, so he goes, so a friend said, oh, you got to get this pipe whisperer.

01:32:37.700 And apparently he's got other people in the company that do it.

01:32:40.180 It's not, I think it's not just him.

01:32:42.520 And he's like.

01:32:43.060 No, you can trade.

01:32:43.540 It could be.

01:32:43.820 He's like, it's the easiest thing.

01:32:45.160 And he said, nobody wants to do it in our business.

01:32:47.480 And he said, you know, it makes it into like some magical thing.

01:32:50.580 He said, it's really easy.

01:32:52.240 You just have to have quiet and listen.

01:32:56.000 He said, but you can find it every time.

01:32:58.600 That's incredible.

01:32:59.360 I've never heard of that.

01:33:00.360 Well, I would assume too, like it's a better business decision to, you know, dredge up

01:33:06.160 of $10,000 repair through a yard.

01:33:09.100 So a lot of people probably don't want to do it for that reason.

01:33:12.080 Yeah, maybe.

01:33:13.900 But guess who I'm calling every time I got a problem.

01:33:16.160 Yeah.

01:33:16.600 Yeah.

01:33:17.120 I mean, and I'm not talking about the people who dug up my yard for, I think it was $20,000.

01:33:22.580 I'm not talking to them about on the radio.

01:33:26.160 It's interesting.

01:33:26.440 Pat is actually working on a series called Leakages.

01:33:29.340 Really?

01:33:29.740 Yeah.

01:33:30.020 Yeah.

01:33:30.300 For the blaze.

01:33:31.140 Been in the works for a while.

01:33:32.540 Yeah.

01:33:33.000 But I mean, this might be somebody you can interview on that show.

01:33:35.320 Yeah.

01:33:35.480 Yeah.

01:33:36.040 Leakages.

01:33:36.760 It's very...

01:33:37.340 Pat has spent...

01:33:37.980 I would actually like to...

01:33:39.640 I'd like to see him do his work.

01:33:41.420 I've spent $73.5 trillion in the development of this series.

01:33:45.760 Really?

01:33:46.140 That might be a little out of budget.

01:33:47.760 When it goes to the air, it's going to be phenomenal.

01:33:50.940 It should be.

01:33:52.040 I mean, how much was it?

01:33:53.420 $73.5 trillion.

01:33:54.900 Wow.

01:33:55.280 So far.

01:33:56.180 Well, it's your money.

01:33:56.680 It's not finished yet.

01:33:57.620 So is this like Ken Burns, you know, the Civil War or Bees or one of those that just never

01:34:04.360 ends?

01:34:04.980 We'll see.

01:34:05.600 The rumor is it might just be a webisode.

01:34:07.620 It might not actually be a form.

01:34:09.260 But man, will it be a worthwhile webisode.

01:34:13.280 So informative.

01:34:14.020 So is it on like Solyndra?

01:34:17.260 Is that what this is?

01:34:18.140 Oh, no.

01:34:18.480 It's a Blaze product.

01:34:19.420 Yeah.

01:34:19.920 Oh, okay.

01:34:20.880 Good.

01:34:21.380 No, you're saying, is it like referencing something?

01:34:24.960 I didn't know if it was part of the Solyndra.

01:34:26.260 No, it's about water leaking, right, Pat?

01:34:27.820 I mean, generally speaking.

01:34:28.760 Yeah, it's about leakages.

01:34:29.920 It's about things that leak.

01:34:31.000 It's not like this pipe whisperer.

01:34:34.240 Perhaps we'll be interviewing him.

01:34:36.320 He could have saved some money just hiring him.

01:34:38.360 Yeah.

01:34:38.720 I could have just put him on for $256.

01:34:42.040 Yeah.

01:34:44.500 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:34:48.460 Mercury.

01:34:52.280 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:34:54.200 On tomorrow's program, top of hour two, Jim DeMint in his first interview after leaving the Heritage Foundation,

01:35:01.440 and I should say being forced out of the Heritage Foundation,

01:35:04.720 and now with the Convention of States,

01:35:06.460 his first interview will be with us tomorrow, top of hour two,

01:35:10.040 and top of hour three this hour will be Bill O'Reilly will be joining us.

01:35:15.540 And that's always fun, and you have a very cruel sense of humor,

01:35:20.320 because Bill is a very cruel, cruel man.

01:35:24.420 Very cruel.

01:35:25.300 To you, at least.

01:35:26.260 Yeah.

01:35:27.800 He's always warm at the very beginning, though.

01:35:30.020 Hey, Beck.

01:35:30.700 He's, yeah.

01:35:31.480 You can just feel it dripping off of him.

01:35:33.280 Yeah.

01:35:33.520 It's overwhelming.

01:35:34.400 Yeah.

01:35:34.720 So we found out that Pat went to a gay pride parade on his vacation.

01:35:40.500 It was somewhat of a surprise.

01:35:43.140 You're bringing your family downtown, and you stumble into a gay pride parade.

01:35:47.840 You walked right through the gay pride parade, where they were very festive.

01:35:53.840 Very festive.

01:35:54.700 Very festive.

01:35:55.680 And very prideful.

01:35:56.680 So any difference between the gay pride parade you were at,

01:35:59.860 and the one that happened in LA over the weekend?

01:36:01.680 Yeah, because the one I was at seemed to be promoting gay pride.

01:36:05.340 The one in Los Angeles yesterday seemed to be promoting absolute hatred for Donald Trump.

01:36:10.040 It was the hashtag Resist March.

01:36:12.260 In fact, they changed the name from gay pride to Resist March.

01:36:17.780 And they're resisting Trump.

01:36:19.060 And has nobody told these guys that he is the most gay-friendly president ever elected?

01:36:26.380 Ever.

01:36:26.880 Ever elected.

01:36:27.400 Isn't he not the first at the convention to talk about equal rights for gay couples and

01:36:37.320 gay marriage from the beginning?

01:36:40.480 No hedging nothing.

01:36:41.920 That's one position I don't think he's ever changed.

01:36:44.560 No.

01:36:45.080 Is it?

01:36:45.420 No.

01:36:46.240 He's been gay-friendly and pro-gay marriage forever.

01:36:49.300 Forever.

01:36:49.560 As far as I know.

01:36:50.000 How is he?

01:36:50.960 He's the guy who said yes to bathrooms during the campaign.

01:36:55.780 Right.

01:36:56.240 Yeah.

01:36:56.640 He was on that side of the bathroom issue.

01:37:00.520 I think what people get confused on is that obviously Barack Obama supported gay marriage

01:37:05.240 as president.

01:37:06.140 However, he did not run for president in 2008.

01:37:10.320 He was very traditional.

01:37:12.420 He was anti-gay marriage.

01:37:13.480 He was very traditional marriage.

01:37:14.700 So Trump never has been.

01:37:15.600 Right.

01:37:15.900 As far as I know.

01:37:16.600 His re-election came as a candidate who was warm to gay marriage.

01:37:21.320 However, Trump's first election came.

01:37:23.580 He took office as a supporter.

01:37:26.960 And seriously, what has he done to get the ire up of the gay community?

01:37:32.560 I don't know.

01:37:33.340 It seems like just kind of standard, you know, sort of political tribes.

01:37:36.280 Just because he's Republican?

01:37:38.420 You know, I think it's...

01:37:39.740 It just shows how mindless people are.

01:37:40.960 Because he's not conservative really either.

01:37:43.320 Admittedly so.

01:37:44.040 But one of the people that was interviewed there said, I'm here because we all deserve

01:37:49.400 equality.

01:37:50.040 And our president really is not respecting that right now.

01:37:53.340 How?

01:37:53.960 How?

01:37:54.400 And he's making a mockery of the Constitution.

01:37:57.480 Well, you had no problem with Obama making a mockery of the Constitution.

01:38:02.040 And what is it he's making a mockery of?

01:38:04.400 Other than what the executive orders?

01:38:07.240 All the things that Obama was doing that now are suddenly some kind of...

01:38:12.680 Executive order is a great example, though.

01:38:14.600 Obama passed a pro-gay rights executive order.

01:38:18.420 It was rumored during the campaign that Trump would overturn it if he won.

01:38:23.020 And then he didn't.

01:38:24.220 He just kept it in.

01:38:26.340 Which is, I mean, again, depending on your perspective, fine.

01:38:29.680 But this is not a guy who should be getting...

01:38:33.560 There's lots of reasons to attack Donald Trump.

01:38:35.700 Real reasons you could attack Donald Trump if you don't agree with him.

01:38:38.420 This is not one.

01:38:39.460 I can't think of...

01:38:40.800 Honestly, I mean, maybe we're missing something.

01:38:43.520 But I can't think of anything that he has said or done.

01:38:46.960 Now, some of the issues Trump is passionate about are typically paired, right, politically

01:38:51.540 with gay rights issues, you know, abortion, immigration, things like that, that traditionally

01:39:00.720 fall in those pockets, but they're not...

01:39:03.260 So are you saying that all gay people have to be...

01:39:07.340 That's exactly what I'm saying, Glenn.

01:39:09.020 Thank you for summarizing it.

01:39:09.880 All gay people love to be...

01:39:11.560 No, but that's what they're saying.

01:39:12.960 Right, right.

01:39:13.240 That all gay people have to fall in line and say, I believe this about the border.

01:39:19.040 I believe this about abortion because I'm gay.

01:39:21.420 Obviously, that's crazy, right?

01:39:22.700 No, no, no.

01:39:23.420 That's bigoted to say that.

01:39:25.520 I mean, I think there's something to say that when you are allied with someone politically

01:39:30.500 for a long period of time, you might see the world their way more often.

01:39:35.560 You know, so if when you're a gay rights activist and you're talking about gay marriage and your

01:39:40.060 allies are for decades or a few years, you know, people who are on the far left, now that

01:39:48.420 the people on the far left who are worried about immigration reform or worried about abortion or worried about these

01:39:52.600 other things, you may see the world the same way and still keep fighting.

01:39:57.540 Like, for example, equality is such a generic word that applies to anything you want to complain

01:40:04.000 about where they'll say, well, women's, you know, women in the workplace.

01:40:07.680 No, there's no equality.

01:40:08.800 And, you know, Trump has obviously had issues.

01:40:11.220 But I just don't understand the intellectual honesty problem.

01:40:14.700 I mean, honestly, when you know, when you have Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama paying

01:40:19.720 people in the White House, women made less in the Barack Obama White House than men did.

01:40:25.680 In the Clinton campaign.

01:40:26.620 Right.

01:40:26.940 Clinton campaign did the same thing.

01:40:28.500 I just don't understand the intellectual dishonesty.

01:40:32.160 Wouldn't it be more effective?

01:40:33.080 Because it goes back to what you were talking about with this book later, late before with

01:40:36.120 the NASA guy who admitted this is this is my fault.

01:40:38.780 I screwed up with Columbia.

01:40:41.000 It's saying, like, if you were a gay activist and say, look, I still completely disagree with

01:40:45.920 with Donald Trump on X, Y and Z issue.

01:40:48.440 But let me tell you, you know, honestly, on gay rights, he's been pretty OK.

01:40:51.880 Certainly better than any other Republican president we've ever had.

01:40:54.820 He's certainly I mean, without question, the most liberal Republican presidential president

01:40:59.800 in history when it comes to that issue.

01:41:01.560 I mean, there's not even an argument on it.

01:41:03.140 And so wouldn't you wouldn't it be better to say, look, I give him a lot of credit for

01:41:06.460 what he's done here.

01:41:07.240 But let me tell you where he's what he's wrong on.

01:41:09.140 You would have credibility on those.

01:41:10.340 You'd have credibility if you would.

01:41:11.560 If Gay Pride Parade wanted to say we're against Donald Trump and they had signs because,

01:41:17.780 you know, something legitimate about women, something legitimate about, you know, abortion.

01:41:23.760 And they say we're standing with our friends who believe these things and made it about
