The Glenn Beck Program - 6⧸15⧸17 - Who Is To Blame For The DC Shooting？ (Rep. Barry Loudermilk Joins Glenn)

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

00:00:08.000 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:12.060 We want to get to the bottom of who exactly is responsible for the shooting yesterday?

00:00:20.100 Who's responsible?

00:00:23.460 Well, I have a very clear answer for you.

00:00:26.600 And a lot of people aren't going to like it.

00:00:30.000 Oh, no. Maybe we shouldn't. We're going to say it next.

00:00:35.120 Right now, we begin.

00:00:37.040 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice.

00:00:41.580 I will hold your hand.

00:00:43.980 Because we are one. I will be my drum.

00:00:48.020 I have made my choice.

00:00:50.300 We will overcome.

00:00:52.620 Because we are one.

00:00:54.360 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:00:58.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:02.040 Hello, America.

00:01:06.760 Welcome to the program.

00:01:08.000 Today, we're going to talk about the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

00:01:14.240 And who exactly is responsible for the shooting yesterday.

00:01:20.960 And if the pre-show meetings are any indication, this should go well.

00:01:25.260 I think it's going to go really well.

00:01:26.800 You're in a great mood.

00:01:28.700 And I think this is the time to address a sensitive topic.

00:01:31.760 Truth.

00:01:32.180 Nothing but the truth.

00:01:33.000 I don't understand what you're saying there, Stu.

00:01:37.220 I can't think of a better time.

00:01:39.820 This is one of those things that either leads to an incredibly great show, or it's a blast show.

00:01:48.040 This is Glenn is in a bad mood.

00:01:50.060 Now, you usually preface some of our best shows with that.

00:01:53.840 Glenn is in a bad mood.

00:01:55.040 Yep.

00:01:55.420 Sometimes it's a bad mood.

00:01:56.280 And one of these times, it will be the final episode of the program.

00:02:02.220 Here's the sound from Virginia and the baseball diamond yesterday.

00:02:09.640 This is what it sounded like if you happen to be...

00:02:13.280 Now, this video was taken by a guy who just happened to be walking by.

00:02:27.000 He's down on the ground with his camera by the fence.

00:02:32.820 And I want you to listen to what he says here in a second.

00:02:35.320 I want you to listen to what he says here in a second.

00:03:05.860 Do we know where he's at?

00:03:06.900 Listen to this.

00:03:08.420 I assume people have been calling 911 already.

00:03:12.720 Okay.

00:03:13.740 Notice that all of them, those in the background and this guy, the other guys say, two of them,

00:03:20.620 has anybody called 911?

00:03:22.420 And the other guy responds, I assume somebody has.

00:03:25.300 They all have phones.

00:03:27.320 All they're doing is videotaping what's happening.

00:03:31.240 Want to talk about first responder?

00:03:33.360 Before you video something.

00:03:34.460 Maybe you should call 911.

00:03:36.760 Maybe you should say, you know what?

00:03:39.100 The video of this is not as important as calling 911.

00:03:44.860 Then turn on your video.

00:03:47.960 Then record it.

00:03:49.240 Today, the New York Times was full-fledged New York Times.

00:03:58.280 Today, the New York Times, today, MSNBC, today, CNN.

00:04:04.260 They're back to their old tricks.

00:04:06.120 It didn't take them long before they started blaming this on the left.

00:04:13.500 I'm sorry, on the right.

00:04:14.820 Before they started blaming this on Donald Trump.

00:04:17.800 Now, if we remember, they blamed the right and Sarah Palin for Gabby Giffords because she had released something about districts that needed to be targeted.

00:04:35.420 She used the word targeted in this atmosphere with what they're saying.

00:04:41.100 Of course, that's going to drive.

00:04:42.380 Well, the person who used the gun to shoot Gabby Giffords was a lefty.

00:04:48.180 And nuts was not on the Sarah Palin email list.

00:04:53.840 Let's just put it that way.

00:04:55.460 Didn't see the targeting stuff.

00:04:58.420 It wasn't Sarah Palin.

00:04:59.820 And yet, the New York Times wrote this.

00:05:04.560 Conservative and right-wing media were quick on Wednesday to man forceful condemnation of hate speech and crimes by anti-Trump liberals.

00:05:13.440 They're right.

00:05:14.800 Though there's no sign of incitement as direct as in the Giffords attack, liberals should, of course, hold themselves to the same standard of decency that they ask of the right.

00:05:27.480 But there is no sign of incitement.

00:05:31.180 Okay.

00:05:32.980 Somebody puts out a political piece and says, we have to target these districts.

00:05:39.320 That's incitement.

00:05:41.380 But Kathy Giffords, Griffin, what is her name?

00:05:47.120 Griffin.

00:05:48.120 Griffin.

00:05:49.020 Griffin.

00:05:49.760 Okay.

00:05:50.380 Sorry.

00:05:50.920 She was never a star in my world.

00:05:52.780 I don't know what she did to think she was a star, but she'll never get her career back of that one gig a night on CNN, a year on CNN.

00:06:03.980 Anyway, incitement.

00:06:06.520 How about holding a picture of Donald Trump's bloody head?

00:06:10.760 Incitement.

00:06:11.360 How about a play that week in New York City making Caesar look like Donald Trump and having a bloody assassination in Central Park?

00:06:25.360 So much so that the sponsor, what was it, Bank of America, pulls out, unsolicited, pulls out and says, this is over the top.

00:06:37.360 So much so that even the New York Times critic says, this is over the line.

00:06:45.460 But there's no incitement there.

00:06:47.320 No, no, no.

00:06:47.880 Nothing is strong as we need to target these districts.

00:06:50.500 And that is legitimately a quote.

00:06:53.560 This is from the New York Times, not in 2011, but today.

00:06:56.800 In 2011, when Jared Lee Loeffner opened fire in a supermarket parking lot, grievously wounding Representative Gabby Giffords and killing six people, including a nine-year-old girl, the link to political incitement was clear.

00:07:08.740 Before the shooting, Sarah Palin's political action committee circulated a map of targeted electoral districts that put Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized crosshairs.

00:07:21.460 This has literally been disproved and debunked for six years.

00:07:27.420 And today, they're still writing it.

00:07:29.560 Again, this goes back.

00:07:30.440 It doesn't matter.

00:07:31.480 Those elites, those in the newspaper, this is why I've asked you for years, write a diary.

00:07:39.340 Write a diary.

00:07:40.700 Because your children have absolutely zero chance of reading the truth.

00:07:46.240 Remember, the Tea Party, the biggest American movement of a populist movement, a movement where grassroots takes over and changes the course of an election in two years, the Tea Party.

00:08:03.200 That wasn't even put in Time Magazine's year in review.

00:08:07.580 Why?

00:08:08.740 Because they don't want records of it.

00:08:11.340 Why put a record of that so we have a hard time diminishing the impact and telling the truth of what really happened?

00:08:21.540 This is a writing and rewriting of American history in real time as historians go back.

00:08:32.140 But I will tell you, I've learned more from the lost diaries of the German people than I have from any history book on what really happened in Germany.

00:08:45.040 Keep a diary.

00:08:47.640 So here's the New York Times saying this today and saying there's no link.

00:08:53.880 Write in your diary and cut out any posts that you have and make sure it's on paper.

00:08:59.380 Cut out any posts that you have and make sure that you have the Kathy Griffin, Griffith, Grifford, that woman.

00:09:09.880 Grifford, that's it.

00:09:10.480 Whatever her name is.

00:09:11.720 Kathy Grifford.

00:09:12.080 Make sure you have the picture of her holding the bloody head two weeks before this shooting.

00:09:17.080 Make sure you have the story of Shakespeare in the Park one week, days before this shooting.

00:09:24.160 And then I want you to write this.

00:09:28.180 These things did not cause this crazy lunatic to shoot.

00:09:35.620 It wasn't.

00:09:36.600 Make sure you put that he was a Bernie Sanders volunteer.

00:09:41.800 But then I want you to make sure that you put Bernie Sanders and what he said yesterday.

00:09:48.440 Here's what he said yesterday.

00:09:50.100 Madam President, I have just been informed that the alleged shooter at the Republican baseball practice this morning

00:09:59.240 is someone who apparently volunteered on my presidential campaign.

00:10:04.900 I am sickened by this despicable act.

00:10:10.540 And let me be as clear as I can be.

00:10:14.580 Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society.

00:10:19.240 And I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms.

00:10:25.220 Stop.

00:10:26.060 I'm asking you one question.

00:10:27.840 I want you to listen to this one question and only answer this question.

00:10:31.740 Do you believe that he believes what he just said?

00:10:36.900 Pat.

00:10:37.600 Yeah.

00:10:38.800 Jeffy, do you believe that he believes what he just said?

00:10:42.580 That he condemns violence?

00:10:44.300 I'm not sure.

00:10:45.400 Wow.

00:10:45.760 I mean, his actions from last time this happened, that's not the question.

00:10:50.360 That's not the doubt.

00:10:51.320 So does he, the literal words he said, yes.

00:10:54.120 I mean, he does not want violence.

00:10:55.820 He does condemn it.

00:10:56.600 He has a long history of condemning violence.

00:11:00.100 However, question number two.

00:11:02.440 Is he a political human being?

00:11:07.360 Pat.

00:11:09.040 Yes.

00:11:09.760 Jeffy.

00:11:10.240 Yes.

00:11:11.040 Stu.

00:11:11.480 100%.

00:11:12.140 Which explains what he said after Kathy, after Kathy Grifford, whatever.

00:11:19.840 After what he said about the other shooting.

00:11:22.620 Yeah, Jared Lee Loeffner, he raised money off of it.

00:11:25.140 He said he blamed it on right-wing reactionaries.

00:11:29.120 This horrendous act of violence is not some kind of strange aberration for this area where

00:11:32.880 it appears threats and acts of violence are part of the political climate.

00:11:36.400 Nobody can honestly express surprise that such a tragedy finally occurred.

00:11:40.600 Okay, stop.

00:11:42.980 I believe, I believe that yesterday, Bernie Sanders, when he found out that this was

00:11:51.280 one of his guys that was a campaign volunteer, I believe he was horrified that somebody could

00:12:00.480 say that, not for political reasons, I believe Bernie Sanders would not want somebody shooting

00:12:06.980 at Congress members.

00:12:08.920 Of course.

00:12:09.380 Period.

00:12:10.600 Now, we don't get that respect from the press.

00:12:16.120 We don't get that respect.

00:12:18.700 They won't give that to us.

00:12:20.940 They're still re-litigating a false claim of a shooting that happened by a crazy person

00:12:29.840 on the left.

00:12:31.320 They're still blaming that on Sarah Palin and re-litigating that today.

00:12:35.420 They're still on MSNBC.

00:12:37.260 There was a tweet that went out and said, Donald Trump is responsible for this.

00:12:42.600 I'm going to give you two answers to the question on who's responsible.

00:12:47.760 Who's responsible?

00:12:50.120 I'm going to give you two answers, and both of them are absolutely true.

00:12:53.740 But both of them are separate and apart from each other.

00:12:59.460 You want to belly up to the big boy table?

00:13:02.660 Well, you want to hear things that everybody will tell you today to make you feel good?

00:13:12.260 Then you should tune to another show if you want to hear the truth.

00:13:19.780 Stick around.

00:13:21.780 I'll share it next.

00:13:23.780 I have decided

00:13:27.400 The Glenn Beck Programmer.

00:13:53.400 I hesitate to play this because it made my blood pressure go up, and I think I'm about ready to pop.

00:14:09.140 I am, I am, I swear to you, I think I am a blueberry, that I have to go to Willy Wonka's juice press.

00:14:19.780 My blood pressure is through the roof on listening to the rhetoric of the left.

00:14:26.960 Now, I'm playing this for a reason, because I want to tell you who's responsible.

00:14:34.200 But I want to remind you what they said on Gabby Giffords. Listen.

00:14:38.940 There's been so much vitriol flung at her by the Tea Party people.

00:14:43.420 You know, her opponent in the election was a Tea Party candidate.

00:14:48.100 And the signs that were up around town accusing her of horrible things.

00:14:53.700 You know, when people make these kinds of comments, you know, it pushes some folks over the edge.

00:14:59.640 She was shot by a violent act, of course, a person using a gun, breaking up a political meeting with a gun,

00:15:07.200 bringing one to a political event, which we saw a lot of during the demonstrations.

00:15:11.380 People carrying firearms to political events.

00:15:14.060 The violent level of the right wing in this country.

00:15:16.820 After the 2010 elections, when you had the Tea Party elect a whole lot of their supporters to the United States House of Representatives,

00:15:24.620 and you had town hall meetings that they tried to take over, and you saw some of their conduct at those town hall meetings,

00:15:31.440 what the Tea Party has done is they have taken it to a different level.

00:15:35.680 And so when they come and disagree with you, you're not just wrong, you're the enemy.

00:15:41.300 When the health care vote was coming to the floor of the House, and when this was all heating up,

00:15:46.180 Palin tweeted out a message on Twitter saying,

00:15:49.560 common sense conservatives don't retreat, instead reload, and she referred folks to her Facebook page.

00:15:55.980 On that Facebook page was a list of Democratic members she was putting in crosshairs,

00:16:01.920 and Gabrielle Giffords was one of those in the crosshairs.

00:16:04.760 The guy may be acting alone, but he's influenced, he's empowered, he's legitimized by those who are talking in this way,

00:16:12.300 and also by the talk shows that are on and on and on all day, that say,

00:16:16.340 hey, these people aren't not just Democrats, they're socialists,

00:16:21.420 the government is trying to take everything from you.

00:16:25.160 We've got to go back and get to...

00:16:27.280 And Justice Holmes said about 50 years ago,

00:16:32.060 you cannot cry fire in a crowded theater.

00:16:36.720 That is, there are some limits on free speech, given the circumstances.

00:16:39.900 And I would say to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party,

00:16:43.640 you cannot yell, ready, aim, fire, when there's a crowded political situation.

00:16:48.920 We all...

00:16:49.720 Yeah, and nobody did.

00:16:51.180 Yeah, nobody did.

00:16:52.100 Can you yell, assassin, in a crowded park,

00:16:58.600 and show somebody dressed and acting like President Trump,

00:17:02.400 and have thousands of people watch an emotional play

00:17:08.320 while the president is assassinated and cloak it as Shakespeare?

00:17:15.800 Can you do that?

00:17:17.180 I guess.

00:17:17.720 Can you be a comedian and hold a severed head of Donald Trump

00:17:24.120 with blood all over it?

00:17:26.480 Is that okay?

00:17:29.780 Can you do that?

00:17:31.840 Is there a limit on speech on that?

00:17:35.620 Now, my answer is, no.

00:17:38.780 There's not a limit on speech.

00:17:40.700 And in fact, the only speech that you have to stand up for

00:17:43.920 is the speech that you abhor.

00:17:46.620 Is...

00:17:47.380 Is it bad form?

00:17:51.020 Would I ever do that?

00:17:52.680 Do you joke about assassinating a president?

00:17:56.220 Do you...

00:17:57.060 I had a problem with it with George Bush.

00:17:58.980 I have a problem with it with Barack Obama.

00:18:01.300 I'd have a problem with it if it was President Clinton.

00:18:03.880 I'd have a problem with it now,

00:18:05.940 or do have a problem with the two instances

00:18:08.140 that the left did last week.

00:18:10.500 Now, did that lead to the shooting?

00:18:13.080 The answer next.

00:18:14.060 We are one.

00:18:17.440 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:20.440 Mercury.

00:18:22.680 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:27.500 I'm going to show you some pictures.

00:18:29.480 Stu and Pat, you can describe them

00:18:32.240 before I get to the real culprit of the shooting yesterday.

00:18:37.180 And...

00:18:37.700 So you've got Kathy Griffin.

00:18:38.760 Kathy Griffin holding the head of Donald Trump.

00:18:42.120 That's that one?

00:18:43.400 You've got...

00:18:44.140 Oh, that's the Shakespeare in the Park murder

00:18:45.780 of the Trump-like character.

00:18:47.500 Yeah, okay.

00:18:48.200 What does it look like?

00:18:50.800 What does it look like?

00:18:51.760 It looks like they're killing Donald Trump in a park.

00:18:54.420 Yeah, and it's got blood all over it, right?

00:18:56.960 Yep.

00:18:57.080 Okay, notice...

00:18:58.840 Does it look similar to the Kathy...

00:19:00.340 Yes.

00:19:00.900 Government blood, yes.

00:19:01.780 Okay, yeah.

00:19:02.280 All right, what's this one?

00:19:04.160 From one of the riots in Berkeley, right?

00:19:07.120 It says, kill Trump.

00:19:08.480 Spray painted up on a pillar or a wall, right?

00:19:11.080 What is this one?

00:19:13.160 More riots.

00:19:13.820 More riots.

00:19:14.460 More riots.

00:19:15.300 Okay.

00:19:15.900 And what were the riots doing?

00:19:17.340 What were they doing?

00:19:18.800 Who are those people?

00:19:20.260 Anti-Trump people?

00:19:21.320 Yeah.

00:19:21.440 Is that an effigy being hung there?

00:19:23.920 I can't even tell what that is.

00:19:24.900 No, that's a guy up on a turned-over garbage can

00:19:28.220 where they have lit the street on fire

00:19:30.160 and he's got a mask

00:19:31.680 and he is preaching to the people there more violence.

00:19:34.620 Got it.

00:19:34.840 Okay.

00:19:35.860 So these things have happened on the left.

00:19:40.020 All of them, except for the Antifa,

00:19:42.640 that has happened several times,

00:19:44.360 but the others have happened this week

00:19:47.160 or late last week.

00:19:49.640 Okay?

00:19:50.360 Nobody's mentioning these in the media today.

00:19:52.600 You're not seeing the pictures of Kathy on CNN.

00:19:56.140 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

00:19:57.340 You're not hearing anybody talk about Shakespeare

00:19:59.760 in the park today.

00:20:00.860 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:20:04.120 You're not going to hear that.

00:20:05.620 So what am I going to say?

00:20:09.120 Well, let me tell you what brought this all about.

00:20:13.020 Let me tell you who's responsible for the shooting.

00:20:16.460 When all is said and done,

00:20:18.820 let me tell you exactly who is responsible for the shooting.

00:20:22.920 And I want to take this

00:20:24.120 and I want to put it in a lockbox.

00:20:26.420 You know, where all the Al Gore Social Security money is?

00:20:29.040 I'm going to put that in a lockbox

00:20:31.340 and we're going to lock it away

00:20:32.400 and forever those people responsible

00:20:35.880 will be in that box

00:20:37.560 because there's two things I want to tell you.

00:20:41.020 So let's open up the lockbox.

00:20:43.940 Who do we put in there?

00:20:47.500 The shooter.

00:20:49.620 Period.

00:20:50.900 End of story.

00:20:52.280 The shooter.

00:20:53.800 He was living in his van for the last couple of weeks.

00:20:57.580 He is a violent guy

00:20:59.560 who has a history of family violence.

00:21:02.480 His stepdaughter wanted to get out of his control so badly

00:21:09.420 she poured gasoline on herself

00:21:11.780 and set herself on fire.

00:21:14.280 He has a history of gunplay.

00:21:16.920 He is a crazy, dangerous man.

00:21:19.960 Am I going to put him in there along with Kathy?

00:21:22.640 No.

00:21:23.120 Just him.

00:21:23.780 How about Shakespeare in the Park?

00:21:24.960 No.

00:21:25.180 Just him.

00:21:26.320 Well, how about the Antifa movement?

00:21:27.560 No, no.

00:21:28.640 Just him.

00:21:30.500 He's the guy who got up in the morning

00:21:33.000 and apparently got up several times

00:21:36.000 over the last few days and weeks.

00:21:42.040 I mean, it was a big apartment in the back of his van.

00:21:45.020 Loser.

00:21:46.100 But he got up and he paced back and forth

00:21:48.420 in the back of his van.

00:21:50.040 What am I going to do?

00:21:51.200 He went.

00:21:51.880 He got the gun.

00:21:52.900 He got the bullets.

00:21:54.040 He went to the park.

00:21:55.100 He asked, are these Republicans or are these Democrats?

00:21:58.080 He went to the baseball diamond

00:22:00.460 and he's the one who pulled the trigger.

00:22:03.180 Period.

00:22:03.860 End of story.

00:22:04.980 Close the lid.

00:22:06.040 Put a lock on it.

00:22:07.280 That is the truth.

00:22:12.900 Today I saw Michelle Malkin retweet a story.

00:22:17.440 I don't even remember.

00:22:18.580 From MSNBC, I think.

00:22:21.620 Look at my Twitter feed.

00:22:22.660 See who is it from.

00:22:23.420 Because I retweeted it.

00:22:26.660 And she said it was a story.

00:22:29.500 Somebody was blaming Donald Trump

00:22:31.280 for the shooting yesterday.

00:22:36.480 That Donald Trump is responsible.

00:22:38.840 Now remember, I have the lockbox over here.

00:22:40.980 Who's responsible?

00:22:41.700 Who's in the lockbox, Pat?

00:22:43.860 The shooter.

00:22:45.660 I know it was hard to follow

00:22:46.960 because I had so many people in there.

00:22:48.740 It was just the shooter.

00:22:50.240 The shooter.

00:22:50.740 Now, I put that in a lockbox

00:22:52.240 because we're going to open it

00:22:54.080 and add some more people to it?

00:22:55.360 No.

00:22:55.640 No.

00:22:55.840 Because, no, you already shoved it away.

00:22:57.720 Okay, shoved it away.

00:22:58.700 It's locked.

00:22:59.240 There's no one else responsible

00:23:00.880 for the shooting yesterday.

00:23:02.920 Is that clear?

00:23:03.880 Yes.

00:23:04.200 Is that clear?

00:23:04.660 I think it's clear.

00:23:05.240 Lockboxes away.

00:23:06.120 It's in a safe.

00:23:07.140 No one else is responsible.

00:23:09.840 What did Michelle Malkin tweet

00:23:11.060 with a retweet story?

00:23:12.560 I don't see a Michelle Malkin tweet,

00:23:14.080 but there's a tweet

00:23:14.800 from the Washington Times

00:23:16.320 about heated rhetoric

00:23:19.060 that led to the Alexandria shooting.

00:23:21.200 Okay.

00:23:21.560 And the heated rhetoric,

00:23:23.080 they're blaming Donald Trump.

00:23:24.320 Yeah.

00:23:24.680 Donald Trump partially to blame.

00:23:26.000 Partially to blame.

00:23:27.100 Okay.

00:23:27.240 And that comes from Mark Sanford,

00:23:28.720 by the way.

00:23:29.240 Right.

00:23:29.620 And Michelle Malkin said,

00:23:31.840 look at this discredited GOP guy

00:23:34.080 who is now blaming Donald Trump.

00:23:37.280 Okay.

00:23:38.080 The quote does not seem to be as clear

00:23:39.520 as that he was actually blaming

00:23:41.100 Donald Trump, by the way.

00:23:42.720 Right.

00:23:43.160 Okay.

00:23:44.140 So what did I tweet?

00:23:45.300 What did I say?

00:23:46.000 You said,

00:23:46.760 well, you said,

00:23:47.440 Trump is responsible

00:23:48.620 as much as I am.

00:23:50.780 Rachel Maddow,

00:23:51.560 the New York Times,

00:23:52.260 we all are.

00:23:53.020 What choice will we make today?

00:23:54.420 Okay.

00:23:54.720 So.

00:23:55.020 Deeds not words.

00:23:55.440 That's crazy.

00:23:56.420 That is crazy.

00:23:57.400 Well, especially because

00:23:57.860 you have a lockbox.

00:23:58.680 All right.

00:23:58.880 I got a lockbox.

00:23:59.660 You've made it.

00:24:00.180 You've made a very possibly

00:24:01.160 clear point that the shooter

00:24:03.040 is the only one responsible.

00:24:04.780 How can you say that?

00:24:05.640 Correct.

00:24:06.000 It's almost as if you're about

00:24:06.900 to make some nuanced point

00:24:09.040 that actually involves

00:24:10.880 some listening.

00:24:11.560 That kindergartners

00:24:12.740 will not understand.

00:24:13.940 Oh, but you got our audience.

00:24:15.880 Are they filled with kindergartners?

00:24:16.980 No, they're not.

00:24:17.220 I don't think so.

00:24:17.800 No, they're not.

00:24:18.440 They're intelligent people.

00:24:19.940 And so that's why

00:24:20.880 I'm going to make this point.

00:24:22.820 Now let's go to point number two.

00:24:25.040 Is there, have you ever heard

00:24:30.280 of the broken windows theory?

00:24:32.820 What's the broken windows theory?

00:24:34.520 The Giuliani.

00:24:34.980 The Giuliani.

00:24:35.080 Yeah.

00:24:35.640 Okay.

00:24:35.960 Yeah.

00:24:36.200 Giuliani used it to clean up New York.

00:24:37.920 What is that theory?

00:24:38.860 Theory being that if people kind of see

00:24:41.260 dumb things, you know,

00:24:43.400 broken windows, graffiti,

00:24:44.580 broken windows, stupid things like that,

00:24:45.920 they're going to be more likely to commit crimes

00:24:47.900 because they think no one cares.

00:24:49.260 Right.

00:24:49.400 So fix those things

00:24:50.540 and you'll start cleaning up the streets.

00:24:51.860 If you are walking down the street

00:24:53.160 and you see a neighborhood

00:24:55.680 where all the windows are broken out

00:24:58.000 and it's all in disrepair,

00:25:00.440 the average person will pick up a rock

00:25:04.080 or is likely to pick up a rock

00:25:06.140 and throw and break another window

00:25:09.420 in a house full of broken windows.

00:25:11.740 However, the average person

00:25:14.040 will never pick up a rock

00:25:16.240 and throw it through a window

00:25:18.740 in a neighborhood

00:25:19.420 where there are no broken windows.

00:25:21.380 It's the broken window theory.

00:25:22.940 What does it mean, Stu?

00:25:27.140 Well, as it was applied there,

00:25:29.160 it meant, you know,

00:25:29.940 you need to have these,

00:25:30.820 you need to clean these things up

00:25:31.820 and if you have a neighborhood

00:25:34.020 without broken windows,

00:25:35.240 people won't be tempted

00:25:36.920 to beat that environment.

00:25:38.120 Why?

00:25:38.440 They don't even think about it.

00:25:39.880 They don't even think about it

00:25:41.100 because they're not bad people.

00:25:45.060 Okay?

00:25:45.760 However, we, some of us,

00:25:47.440 have an instinct to do things

00:25:50.960 and, more importantly,

00:25:53.420 criminals will prey on those areas

00:25:57.720 because they think no one cares.

00:26:02.040 And so, that opens up

00:26:03.620 to the most nefarious among us

00:26:06.280 to take control

00:26:08.380 and to do whatever they want

00:26:10.220 because they think no one cares.

00:26:12.660 Okay.

00:26:16.920 Broken windows theory.

00:26:20.320 If I said to you,

00:26:22.140 I want a president

00:26:25.000 who is walking around stage

00:26:28.020 mocking tea partiers

00:26:30.620 by calling them tea baggers.

00:26:33.040 Do you want that?

00:26:33.640 Do you want a president

00:26:35.940 who has,

00:26:37.280 who has says,

00:26:38.520 says,

00:26:39.280 rough him up,

00:26:40.480 you know,

00:26:40.720 throw him outside in the cold

00:26:41.860 and take his coat from him

00:26:43.180 because he'll,

00:26:43.900 he'll,

00:26:44.320 he'll figure out what's right.

00:26:46.500 Do we want a president

00:26:47.480 doing that?

00:26:48.340 No.

00:26:48.660 We don't want either

00:26:49.340 of those presidents.

00:26:50.780 We don't want

00:26:52.420 either of those presidents.

00:26:55.040 We'll accept those presidents

00:26:57.160 because America

00:26:59.660 has been walking down a street

00:27:01.560 with more and more broken windows.

00:27:03.420 And what are those broken windows?

00:27:05.900 More and more politicians

00:27:07.460 and more and more people,

00:27:09.600 quite frankly,

00:27:10.480 like me.

00:27:11.280 Just leave everybody else out of it.

00:27:13.360 Just make it me.

00:27:15.140 Because Glenn Beck

00:27:16.080 was on television at Fox

00:27:17.420 saying crazy things.

00:27:20.200 And he has,

00:27:21.360 he is opening up.

00:27:23.600 Well, you know what?

00:27:24.220 There's some truth to that.

00:27:26.300 I'm not responsible

00:27:27.220 for any of this.

00:27:29.120 But yet,

00:27:29.580 I am responsible

00:27:31.100 in my own way

00:27:32.700 for my own things

00:27:34.700 just like you are

00:27:36.720 when you get on

00:27:38.220 and respond in kind.

00:27:41.720 You're picking up a rock

00:27:43.600 and you're breaking a window.

00:27:46.820 What is Facebook?

00:27:47.940 What is Twitter?

00:27:49.120 That is the worst neighborhood

00:27:51.000 in America.

00:27:53.000 When you read that,

00:27:54.800 people are vile,

00:27:56.440 they are crude,

00:27:57.580 they are mean,

00:27:59.800 they devalue other people.

00:28:02.160 There's no kindness

00:28:03.460 on Facebook

00:28:04.360 or very little.

00:28:05.420 There's no kindness

00:28:06.320 on Twitter.

00:28:08.960 That is a neighborhood

00:28:10.240 of nothing but broken windows.

00:28:12.300 And we are more inclined

00:28:13.940 to pick up a rock

00:28:15.380 and throw it

00:28:16.740 at that other avatar

00:28:18.320 that isn't really a person.

00:28:21.640 And what does that do?

00:28:22.860 That makes somebody else

00:28:23.880 want to pick up a rock

00:28:24.900 and break another window.

00:28:26.200 Who's in the lockbox again?

00:28:31.400 All the American people

00:28:32.540 and all the people

00:28:33.200 on the left?

00:28:33.840 No, the shooter.

00:28:34.780 Oh, the shooter is.

00:28:35.580 Just the shooter.

00:28:36.360 Just the shooter.

00:28:38.040 He's also in there

00:28:38.860 with Facebook and Twitter, right?

00:28:40.180 No, no.

00:28:41.040 Oh, it's just him by himself?

00:28:42.140 No, it's just him

00:28:42.900 by himself

00:28:43.800 in a lockbox

00:28:44.560 in a safe...

00:28:44.960 Jeffy's not in there with him?

00:28:45.660 Can't be changed.

00:28:46.200 Nobody...

00:28:46.580 Well, Jeffy's in there too,

00:28:47.460 but nobody else

00:28:48.840 is in that.

00:28:50.980 He's the only one responsible.

00:28:52.980 The question is,

00:28:58.140 will we take responsibility

00:28:59.900 at all

00:29:01.000 for throwing any stones

00:29:04.660 that leads to a society

00:29:06.940 that is not kind,

00:29:10.000 is not gracious,

00:29:12.720 that looks at the opposing

00:29:14.840 point of view

00:29:15.700 as the enemy?

00:29:17.020 There are bad people

00:29:20.600 in America.

00:29:21.620 I believe,

00:29:22.360 and I've never believed

00:29:23.400 this before,

00:29:23.960 and I have nothing

00:29:24.500 to back it up,

00:29:25.500 and I'm hoping I am wrong.

00:29:26.800 I'm hoping these numbers

00:29:27.640 are way too big.

00:29:29.040 They may be too big.

00:29:30.560 They may be too small.

00:29:31.900 I don't know,

00:29:32.580 but I hope it's no more

00:29:33.840 than 10% of both sides

00:29:35.860 that do want a revolution,

00:29:38.360 that do want to duke it out,

00:29:40.260 that do believe

00:29:41.360 we're in a civil war.

00:29:42.620 Grab your guns.

00:29:43.880 Let's just get this over.

00:29:45.140 But that leaves 80% of us

00:29:49.940 who do not want

00:29:51.840 anything to do with that.

00:29:56.180 You get a hit of dopamine

00:29:57.660 every time you pick up

00:29:59.060 a rock and throw it.

00:30:00.840 Feels good.

00:30:04.180 I've said to you before,

00:30:05.400 it's going to be this audience

00:30:06.420 that saves the republic,

00:30:08.180 but only if you choose.

00:30:11.120 I said there's going to come

00:30:11.880 a time when you're going

00:30:13.080 to want to go,

00:30:13.780 and everybody's going one way,

00:30:15.140 and you're going to have

00:30:15.800 to stop and say,

00:30:17.680 don't, don't go that way.

00:30:20.840 That time is right now.

00:30:24.680 And you may not get

00:30:25.840 anyone else to go with you,

00:30:27.840 but you go the other way.

00:30:31.240 Do not pick up the rock.

00:30:33.360 That doesn't mean surrender.

00:30:37.580 That doesn't mean

00:30:38.480 don't tell the truth.

00:30:39.960 Here's the truth.

00:30:41.660 The shooter is responsible

00:30:43.940 by himself.

00:30:45.180 Not the gun.

00:30:45.980 Not the bullets.

00:30:46.700 Not the gun industry.

00:30:47.980 Not the NRA.

00:30:49.460 Not the left.

00:30:50.560 Not the right.

00:30:51.440 Not the president.

00:30:52.400 Not the former president.

00:30:53.560 Not Hillary Clinton.

00:30:54.660 Not Antifa.

00:30:55.740 No one.

00:30:56.700 The shooter is responsible.

00:30:58.740 Period.

00:30:59.060 But here's the truth

00:31:01.780 as well.

00:31:03.380 We are all accountable

00:31:05.040 for our own actions.

00:31:08.100 And we are all creating

00:31:09.980 an atmosphere

00:31:11.020 where people just think,

00:31:14.300 you know what?

00:31:15.260 There's no rules,

00:31:16.280 and nobody cares.

00:31:18.160 I care.

00:31:19.520 I care.

00:31:20.380 I care because I want

00:31:22.220 a country left

00:31:23.220 for my children

00:31:24.180 and my grandchildren

00:31:25.240 to grow up in.

00:31:26.820 I want an end to chaos.

00:31:29.360 And the best way

00:31:30.380 to end the chaos

00:31:31.460 is to end it

00:31:32.880 in your own life first.

00:31:35.180 And when you see

00:31:36.060 rock throwing,

00:31:37.180 do not pick up a rock.

00:31:40.240 Help repair the neighborhood.

00:31:43.020 I hope to share some more

00:31:44.740 on how to repair

00:31:46.320 the neighborhood.

00:31:47.160 We have Barry Loudermilk

00:31:48.300 with an amazing story.

00:31:50.600 You want to talk about

00:31:51.280 divine providence.

00:31:53.300 It happened yesterday.

00:31:54.660 We could have lost,

00:31:55.840 we could have lost

00:31:57.380 10% of the GOP.

00:31:59.420 Do you know what the country

00:32:00.140 would be like today

00:32:00.960 if that guy would have killed

00:32:02.480 10% of the GOP in Congress?

00:32:05.180 Do you imagine

00:32:05.820 what this country

00:32:06.740 would be facing today?

00:32:08.120 It would be a different world.

00:32:09.320 Remember I said,

00:32:09.840 you'll wake up on a Monday

00:32:10.820 and by Friday

00:32:11.920 your country will be different?

00:32:13.360 That could have happened yesterday.

00:32:16.520 Divine providence yesterday

00:32:18.000 we'll talk to Barry

00:32:18.980 Mountloudermilk

00:32:19.720 who was there

00:32:20.580 and shot at several times

00:32:21.960 coming up.

00:32:24.380 This is

00:32:25.280 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:29.700 Mercury.

00:32:33.300 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:35.220 Okay, here's what

00:32:36.120 you're not going to hear.

00:32:38.180 You're going to hear

00:32:38.660 the bad thing

00:32:39.600 about the New York Times.

00:32:41.040 But you're also going to hear

00:32:41.760 this from the New York Times.

00:32:42.840 This is their opinion page.

00:32:43.940 The Indigenous American Berserk

00:32:49.120 strikes again.

00:32:51.200 Since Turnabout is Fair Play,

00:32:52.460 New York Times.

00:32:53.060 Since Turnabout is Fair Play,

00:32:54.280 it's tempting to subject

00:32:55.240 the left to the same

00:32:56.400 excoriation to which

00:32:58.520 it subjected the right

00:32:59.620 six years ago.

00:33:00.860 Kathy Griffin

00:33:01.920 and a bloody decapitated Trump.

00:33:04.620 Trump is Shakespeare's

00:33:05.740 murdered Caesar in Central Park.

00:33:07.780 Kristen Gildebrand's

00:33:08.860 F-bombs.

00:33:09.560 The Resistance.

00:33:10.160 All markers of the same

00:33:11.560 culture of self-righteous

00:33:12.840 loathing that supposedly

00:33:14.420 incubates political violence.

00:33:16.480 So much of the left-wing

00:33:17.740 thought is a kind of

00:33:18.780 playing with fire

00:33:19.580 by people who don't

00:33:20.640 even know what fire is,

00:33:22.040 that fire is hot,

00:33:23.260 wrote Orge Orwell.

00:33:26.380 So,

00:33:27.540 Turnabout is Fair Play.

00:33:29.980 Or not.

00:33:31.520 It was foul of the left

00:33:33.040 to accuse the Tea Party

00:33:34.320 of inciting

00:33:35.040 Loeffner's rampage,

00:33:37.320 including Bernie Sanders,

00:33:38.780 all the more so

00:33:40.040 since the evidence

00:33:40.720 for the claim

00:33:41.140 was so strained.

00:33:42.620 It's wrong of us

00:33:44.380 to do it now.

00:33:46.380 From the New York Times.

00:33:50.700 This is

00:33:51.660 the Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:54.780 Mercury.

00:34:08.780 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:34:13.340 On Demand.

00:34:16.780 We have

00:34:17.860 an amazing story

00:34:19.360 to tell

00:34:19.940 of what I believe

00:34:22.180 is divine providence.

00:34:23.760 I just,

00:34:24.740 I want you to think

00:34:25.980 of one thing.

00:34:27.620 Imagine what

00:34:28.680 America would be like

00:34:31.440 today

00:34:32.660 if yesterday

00:34:34.720 if yesterday

00:34:34.740 the leadership

00:34:37.320 of the GOP

00:34:38.980 and the majority

00:34:40.200 of the GOP

00:34:41.380 10%

00:34:43.120 of the GOP

00:34:45.640 in Congress

00:34:46.280 were dead.

00:34:48.820 If we had

00:34:50.360 coffins

00:34:52.020 that we were facing

00:34:53.240 today

00:34:53.780 instead of

00:34:55.320 one coffin

00:34:57.700 of the shooter

00:34:58.860 and one

00:35:00.880 still in critical

00:35:02.040 condition.

00:35:03.520 What

00:35:03.740 would the

00:35:05.020 conversation

00:35:05.760 be like

00:35:06.580 today?

00:35:08.040 I've often said

00:35:09.240 you're going to

00:35:10.140 wake up

00:35:10.740 on a Monday

00:35:11.420 and by Friday

00:35:12.700 your country

00:35:13.920 will be

00:35:14.440 completely different.

00:35:16.240 I believe

00:35:17.260 that is coming.

00:35:19.680 But I

00:35:20.540 do believe

00:35:21.320 we saw

00:35:21.900 divine providence

00:35:23.140 happen yesterday

00:35:24.240 so that

00:35:25.660 didn't happen

00:35:26.600 this week.

00:35:28.760 Barry Loudermilk

00:35:29.780 was there

00:35:30.760 and shot at

00:35:31.640 several times.

00:35:34.280 Representative

00:35:35.000 Congressman

00:35:35.640 Barry Loudermilk

00:35:36.900 is on with us

00:35:38.680 right now.

00:35:40.120 I will make

00:35:42.440 a stand

00:35:43.360 I will raise

00:35:44.580 my voice

00:35:45.660 I will hold

00:35:46.780 your hand

00:35:47.880 Cause we are one

00:35:49.860 I will be

00:35:51.060 my drum

00:35:52.080 I have made

00:35:53.300 my choice

00:35:54.300 We will overcome

00:35:56.000 Cause we are one

00:35:58.660 The fusion

00:35:59.600 of entertainment

00:36:00.620 and enlightenment.

00:36:02.720 This is

00:36:03.380 the Glenn

00:36:04.240 Beck

00:36:05.260 Program.

00:36:08.440 Congressman

00:36:08.960 Barry Loudermilk

00:36:10.040 is

00:36:11.480 joining us

00:36:13.280 now.

00:36:14.720 Congressman

00:36:15.280 how are you?

00:36:17.020 I'm doing

00:36:17.520 well Glenn

00:36:18.540 I appreciate

00:36:19.380 you having us

00:36:20.000 on and

00:36:20.360 giving the

00:36:21.000 coverage for

00:36:21.440 this story

00:36:21.940 What a

00:36:24.240 surreal moment

00:36:24.840 and

00:36:25.120 your opening

00:36:26.580 monologue

00:36:27.020 there

00:36:27.440 I haven't

00:36:28.120 really thought

00:36:28.620 of it

00:36:28.920 from that

00:36:29.220 perspective

00:36:29.660 but I can

00:36:30.280 attest

00:36:30.720 God was

00:36:31.280 on that

00:36:31.580 field

00:36:31.860 with us

00:36:32.360 yesterday.

00:36:33.740 And that's

00:36:34.320 what I wanted

00:36:34.640 to talk to

00:36:35.100 you about

00:36:35.320 Barry

00:36:35.540 first of

00:36:36.020 all

00:36:36.260 how is

00:36:37.280 your wife

00:36:37.820 and family?

00:36:39.460 They're doing

00:36:40.160 well

00:36:40.500 it's amazing

00:36:41.360 of course

00:36:42.540 my cell phone

00:36:43.740 was in my

00:36:44.760 chief of staff's

00:36:45.460 car in the

00:36:45.880 parking lot

00:36:47.100 and

00:36:48.300 when the

00:36:49.380 shooting

00:36:50.580 began

00:36:51.160 I was

00:36:52.200 on the

00:36:52.720 field

00:36:53.080 near

00:36:53.920 home plate

00:36:54.560 when the

00:36:56.620 second shot

00:36:57.160 went out

00:36:57.560 we knew

00:36:58.000 something was

00:36:58.780 going on

00:36:59.000 one of the

00:37:00.200 players said

00:37:00.760 he's got a

00:37:01.300 gun

00:37:01.620 several of the

00:37:02.920 players went

00:37:03.520 into the

00:37:03.900 dugout

00:37:04.320 I went

00:37:04.840 outside of the

00:37:05.460 field and

00:37:05.840 took cover

00:37:06.200 behind a

00:37:06.700 shed

00:37:06.920 I wanted

00:37:07.300 to get to

00:37:07.700 a position

00:37:08.060 to see

00:37:08.480 where the

00:37:08.780 shooter was

00:37:09.400 so

00:37:11.420 with all

00:37:12.520 this

00:37:12.700 playing

00:37:13.000 out

00:37:13.200 I

00:37:13.320 had

00:37:13.780 no

00:37:13.940 communications

00:37:14.560 other than

00:37:15.000 just

00:37:15.180 voice

00:37:15.580 when I

00:37:15.940 got done

00:37:16.300 my chief

00:37:16.700 of staff

00:37:17.060 called my

00:37:17.460 wife

00:37:17.760 she didn't

00:37:18.140 know what

00:37:18.460 was going

00:37:18.820 on

00:37:19.200 but my

00:37:20.580 wife

00:37:20.820 immediately

00:37:21.360 got my

00:37:22.560 three children

00:37:23.080 all grown

00:37:23.640 they got

00:37:25.020 together

00:37:25.460 and I

00:37:26.000 talked to

00:37:26.380 them

00:37:26.560 yesterday

00:37:27.000 and then

00:37:28.600 last night

00:37:29.620 at 2.30

00:37:30.660 in the

00:37:30.920 morning

00:37:31.240 my daughter

00:37:32.020 and her

00:37:32.420 husband

00:37:32.700 showed up

00:37:33.200 at our

00:37:33.420 apartment

00:37:33.860 in Washington

00:37:35.360 they drove

00:37:35.920 all night

00:37:36.480 long

00:37:36.820 to be here

00:37:38.000 for the

00:37:38.260 game

00:37:38.480 tonight

00:37:38.800 just to

00:37:40.520 show

00:37:40.660 support

00:37:41.160 Barry

00:37:43.200 let me

00:37:45.620 just ask

00:37:46.020 you this

00:37:46.300 question

00:37:46.640 first

00:37:47.100 who's

00:37:48.180 responsible

00:37:48.700 for the

00:37:49.260 shooting

00:37:49.600 yesterday

00:37:50.460 well

00:37:53.020 you know

00:37:53.540 obviously

00:37:53.980 a deranged

00:37:54.820 demented

00:37:55.500 individual

00:37:56.100 was the

00:37:57.700 one who

00:37:58.020 carried it

00:37:58.440 out

00:37:58.680 but I

00:37:59.100 think

00:37:59.340 it is

00:37:59.760 an

00:38:00.480 attitude

00:38:00.980 it's

00:38:01.700 sensationalism

00:38:04.140 it's

00:38:04.920 demonization

00:38:06.180 of people

00:38:07.060 that is

00:38:07.500 going on

00:38:08.300 for political

00:38:08.900 purposes

00:38:09.520 and do

00:38:10.360 you

00:38:10.540 believe

00:38:12.020 Barry

00:38:12.740 that

00:38:13.040 that is

00:38:13.640 from

00:38:14.020 the

00:38:15.440 left

00:38:15.940 only

00:38:16.660 or the

00:38:17.180 left

00:38:17.460 and the

00:38:17.920 right

00:38:18.200 as well

00:38:18.840 I think

00:38:20.200 there's

00:38:20.760 cases of

00:38:21.920 that coming

00:38:22.500 from both

00:38:23.160 clearly

00:38:23.660 clearly

00:38:23.700 recently

00:38:24.340 there has

00:38:24.880 been

00:38:25.260 more

00:38:26.620 coming

00:38:27.000 from

00:38:27.440 the

00:38:28.100 left

00:38:28.360 at this

00:38:28.740 point

00:38:29.100 because

00:38:29.720 you know

00:38:31.120 the

00:38:32.100 power

00:38:32.500 the

00:38:32.820 president

00:38:33.300 and

00:38:34.120 we're

00:38:35.160 you know

00:38:35.480 we're trying

00:38:36.340 to change

00:38:36.880 things

00:38:37.200 you know

00:38:37.860 the left

00:38:38.200 has made

00:38:38.620 a lot

00:38:39.000 of progress

00:38:39.520 in the

00:38:40.000 last

00:38:40.340 eight

00:38:40.640 ten

00:38:40.940 years

00:38:41.380 and

00:38:42.560 we're

00:38:43.020 now in

00:38:43.360 a position

00:38:43.760 to begin

00:38:44.600 to reverse

00:38:45.180 that

00:38:45.540 and instead

00:38:46.980 of just

00:38:47.460 dealing with

00:38:48.200 the issues

00:38:48.900 let's get

00:38:49.840 to the

00:38:50.340 podium

00:38:51.120 let's get

00:38:51.660 in front

00:38:51.980 of the

00:38:52.200 house

00:38:52.480 and let's

00:38:52.860 debate

00:38:53.300 the policy

00:38:55.060 of each

00:38:55.540 issue

00:38:56.060 many have

00:38:57.560 resorted

00:38:57.940 to demonizing

00:38:59.040 the other

00:38:59.900 side

00:39:00.300 there are

00:39:00.780 people back

00:39:01.280 in my

00:39:01.540 district

00:39:01.860 carrying

00:39:02.220 around

00:39:02.540 signs

00:39:03.080 in the

00:39:03.420 back

00:39:03.680 of their

00:39:04.040 vehicles

00:39:04.560 saying

00:39:04.960 louder

00:39:05.360 milk

00:39:05.640 is

00:39:05.840 killing

00:39:06.340 me

00:39:06.700 because

00:39:08.180 we're

00:39:09.100 trying

00:39:09.360 to repeal

00:39:09.840 Obamacare

00:39:10.500 when

00:39:11.980 that type

00:39:12.900 of rhetoric

00:39:13.520 continues

00:39:14.300 and it

00:39:14.600 continues

00:39:15.060 and you

00:39:15.460 get

00:39:15.620 somebody

00:39:16.040 who is

00:39:16.420 unstable

00:39:17.020 to start

00:39:17.540 with

00:39:17.880 they start

00:39:19.080 believing

00:39:19.560 these

00:39:19.880 things

00:39:20.380 then

00:39:21.020 they

00:39:21.280 take

00:39:21.600 action

00:39:22.060 like

00:39:22.300 this

00:39:22.520 gentleman

00:39:22.820 did

00:39:23.060 yesterday

00:39:23.480 I found

00:39:23.960 out

00:39:24.300 yesterday

00:39:25.400 evening

00:39:47.200 his

00:39:47.360 last

00:39:47.620 opportunity

00:39:48.160 and

00:39:49.280 he

00:39:49.460 had

00:39:49.580 been

00:40:12.680 crazy

00:40:13.920 this

00:40:15.820 guy

00:40:16.140 was

00:40:16.680 a

00:40:17.040 violent

00:40:17.660 figure

00:40:18.120 for

00:40:18.560 a

00:40:18.860 very

00:40:19.120 long

00:40:19.460 time

00:40:19.860 his

00:40:20.240 step

00:40:22.100 daughter

00:40:22.460 or

00:40:22.760 one

00:40:24.580 of

00:40:24.980 the

00:40:25.220 foster

00:40:26.560 daughters

00:40:27.020 actually

00:40:27.840 set

00:40:28.160 herself

00:40:28.540 on

00:40:28.760 fire

00:40:31.900 away

00:40:32.160 from

00:40:32.400 him

00:40:32.640 he

00:40:33.180 was

00:40:33.320 a

00:40:33.480 horrible

00:40:34.000 human

00:40:34.340 being

00:40:34.700 but

00:40:35.800 had

00:40:36.180 a

00:40:36.460 history

00:40:36.840 of

00:40:37.480 gunplay

00:40:38.760 and

00:40:39.760 violence

00:40:40.240 in

00:40:40.540 his

00:40:40.760 life

00:40:41.100 but

00:40:42.640 I

00:40:42.800 will

00:40:42.980 tell

00:40:43.180 you

00:40:43.280 I've

00:40:43.480 seen

00:40:43.700 some

00:40:43.960 bad

00:40:44.280 shots

00:40:44.700 in

00:40:44.880 my

00:40:45.060 life

00:40:45.420 but

00:40:46.140 for

00:40:46.360 as

00:40:46.520 many

00:40:46.920 targets

00:40:47.600 that

00:40:48.700 were

00:40:48.880 out

00:40:49.180 on

00:40:49.340 that

00:40:49.580 field

00:40:50.020 and

00:40:50.860 to

00:40:51.640 have

00:40:52.060 a

00:40:52.480 rifle

00:40:53.300 I

00:40:54.980 believe

00:40:55.480 Divine

00:40:55.880 Providence

00:40:56.480 played

00:40:56.880 a role

00:40:57.440 in

00:40:58.020 keeping

00:40:59.140 people

00:41:00.300 safe

00:41:00.880 yesterday

00:41:01.500 it is

00:41:02.040 remarkable

00:41:03.000 the number

00:41:04.280 of rounds

00:41:04.980 that were

00:41:05.380 fired

00:41:05.780 and the

00:41:06.880 low number

00:41:08.620 of people

00:41:09.040 that were

00:41:09.400 hit

00:41:09.740 there

00:41:11.680 there

00:41:12.220 was

00:41:12.280 no doubt

00:41:12.660 I

00:41:12.900 witnessed

00:41:13.440 it

00:41:13.680 myself

00:41:14.180 this

00:41:15.040 guy

00:41:15.240 was

00:41:15.460 not

00:41:15.640 just

00:41:15.840 rapid

00:41:16.160 firing

00:41:16.520 he

00:41:16.680 was

00:41:16.840 choosing

00:41:17.180 his

00:41:17.400 targets

00:41:17.840 when

00:41:19.040 we

00:41:19.600 were

00:41:19.740 finally

00:41:20.060 we

00:41:20.960 identified

00:41:21.420 there

00:41:21.860 was

00:41:21.980 a

00:41:22.140 shooter

00:41:22.380 there

00:41:22.680 he

00:41:22.840 was

00:41:23.020 over

00:41:23.200 by

00:41:23.380 the

00:41:23.540 third

00:41:23.740 base

00:41:24.020 fence

00:41:24.360 that

00:41:24.600 gate

00:41:24.960 was

00:41:25.140 locked

00:41:25.400 he

00:41:25.560 couldn't

00:41:25.800 get

00:41:25.960 in

00:41:26.220 we

00:41:27.860 all

00:41:28.100 ran

00:41:28.360 toward

00:41:28.680 the

00:41:28.860 first

00:41:29.060 base

00:41:29.360 side

00:41:29.760 many

00:41:30.260 of

00:41:30.380 the

00:41:30.440 members

00:41:30.680 dove

00:41:30.980 in

00:41:31.080 the

00:41:31.180 dugout

00:41:31.560 I

00:41:31.860 went

00:41:32.080 out

00:41:32.300 as

00:41:32.460 I

00:41:32.840 was

00:41:33.080 exiting

00:41:33.460 the

00:41:33.700 field

00:41:33.920 around

00:41:39.740 the

00:41:39.900 fence

00:41:40.280 as

00:41:41.240 I

00:41:41.360 was

00:41:41.480 going

00:41:41.680 out

00:41:41.960 those

00:41:42.840 were

00:41:43.120 clearly

00:41:43.600 targeted

00:41:44.040 at

00:41:44.280 me

00:41:44.540 when

00:41:45.140 I

00:41:45.320 took

00:41:45.540 refuge

00:41:46.140 behind

00:41:46.900 this

00:41:47.620 wooden

00:41:47.980 building

00:41:48.420 I

00:41:49.780 came

00:41:50.020 around

00:41:50.220 put

00:41:50.400 the

00:41:50.540 building

00:41:50.860 just

00:41:51.160 a

00:41:51.280 small

00:41:51.540 shed

00:41:51.920 basically

00:41:52.460 put

00:41:53.560 it

00:41:53.760 between

00:41:54.220 me

00:41:54.420 and

00:41:54.520 where

00:41:54.640 the

00:41:54.760 shooter

00:41:54.960 was

00:41:55.200 at

00:41:55.300 that

00:41:55.440 time

00:41:55.680 he

00:41:55.840 maneuvered

00:41:56.360 around

00:41:56.740 and

00:41:57.080 got

00:41:57.360 a

00:41:57.580 more

00:41:57.740 clear

00:41:58.100 line

00:41:59.160 of

00:41:59.300 fire

00:41:59.520 to

00:41:59.800 us

00:42:00.120 but

00:42:00.800 I

00:42:00.940 had

00:42:01.240 the

00:42:01.460 Capitol

00:42:01.780 police

00:42:02.140 vehicle

00:42:02.640 was

00:42:03.100 about

00:42:03.460 20

00:42:04.260 feet

00:42:04.520 in

00:42:04.700 front

00:42:04.920 of

00:42:05.040 me

00:42:05.280 when

00:42:05.800 I

00:42:35.780 got around the corner I looked and I saw Matt Micah one of the baseball staff members that helps us work out he was laying on the on the ground on his back with a chest wound he'd been shot in the chest and was bleeding very badly. myself and one others every time we tried to advance to go help him we were driven back by gunfire. I was told last night in a team meeting we had you know I'm just focused and we're trying to figure out what can we do how can we get engaged here?

00:42:35.800 We knew we were being targeted. We knew we were being targeted. We knew we were being targeted. We knew we were being targeted at one moment. As I found out last night Matt took a second round in his arm and it appeared that the shooter was trying to shoot underneath that vehicle to hit us.

00:42:51.480 And one of those rounds hit Matt in the arm. As soon as they took down, I was watching, I saw him take down the shooter. The Capitol police were truly heroes. One of the officers actually moved away from the vehicle, went into the parking lot and exposed himself to

00:43:05.780 draw the fire to draw the fire away from us. When he finally took the gunman down. I ran over to Matt. I cannot believe he was still alive at that point as bad as that that bullet hole was in his chest. And I laid my hand on his head and I prayed for him.

00:43:21.720 And last evening Speaker Ryan called me and said, I just want to tell you Matt's going to be okay. It's a miracle. That round missed his heart, just barely nicked a lung, shattered some ribs. He lost a tremendous amount of blood, but he's going to make it. And they expect a full recovery. That's a miracle in itself.

00:43:40.660 When you see how bad he was, he was, he was laying there shots, just barely missing people. Look, the fact that we had two officers there had not, uh, had not those two, uh, uh, protection, uh, detail guys for Scalise been at the field. It would have been, as you described earlier today, the discussion day would be a lot of former members of Congress.

00:44:06.040 Barry, the, um, the, the, the news of Scalise yesterday was confusing. He was, he was in critical condition. Then he was stable. Then he went in for surgery and then he came out in critical condition. Uh, the last I heard is he's still in critical condition. Can, do you have any insight on, on how he's faring?

00:44:33.100 Um, no, that's, that's the last I've heard. I checked again this morning. Um, we have, we have a very active, um, prayer group that is, is in Congress. We have, uh, a Wednesday night church service in the Capitol building every week. There are dozens of Bible studies. There are, uh, numerous prayer chains. Uh, they were all activated last night. We were told, uh, to continue to pray for Steve that, uh, he still needed a lot of prayer.

00:45:02.780 Uh, and that's the last. Is that because he lost so much blood or do you, do you know he was shot in the hip? So did he, did he, did, did, did he hit an artery?

00:45:11.500 Um, I don't, I don't know if he hit an artery. Um, another active design Providence was Brad Winstrup, who is, uh, uh, doctor, uh, doctor in the army, uh, with combat experience. He's one of our ballplayers. Um, as soon as we were able to get, I, you know, be able to move. Um, I went over to Matt. He went out directly to Scalise. He and, uh, Senator Flake. Um, I was able to, to get a med kit out of, uh,

00:45:41.480 uh, the, the, uh, Capitol Police vehicle. So I was able to take him a med kit and I could tell, uh, Scalise had bled a lot. I think some of the concern is, um, where it went in it, it damaged some, uh, of his organs as well.

00:45:55.380 Uh, and so, uh, the concern was stopping the bleeding. They said that he has actually received several transfusions at this point. So he's not out of the woods yet. Um, but, uh, you know, divine Providence is not an instantaneous or one-time thing. It's continuous. And we need another act of that with these, these, these two that are in the hospital.

00:46:17.680 What should the conversation in America be today?

00:46:21.580 I think it should be of civility. Uh, it should be, um, we are one nation under God.

00:46:29.540 We need to be able to refocus our debate on issues, on policy, not personality.

00:46:38.800 Um, and we need to take a strong look at, at how do we rebuild our nation and how do we make sure that we're secure?

00:46:49.460 I told, uh, uh, a news media outlet yesterday, I want to talk about gun control.

00:46:55.140 And my response to them was, I'll talk to you about gun control when you get shot at, and you don't have a gun to defend yourself.

00:47:04.080 But this, these are the things that, that, and I already have, um, some groups out there, uh, taking that comment on both sides and running it out of proportion.

00:47:14.520 Um, that's the type of thing we need to stop. We need to not, we, we need to stop monetizing our dysfunction as a nation.

00:47:21.040 There are too many groups out there that will take something twisted and turn it just to raise money, uh, to, to incite people.

00:47:28.420 Look, and we also need a reeducation of some people out there to the constitution, what it, what it truly means.

00:47:35.320 What is the actual role of government? Um, but that needs to be a civil discourse going forward.

00:47:40.380 And I think if you can set aside the demonization, the rhetoric and get down to policy, we win every time.

00:47:48.040 Very loud or milk. Um, congressman who was shot at several times, um, yesterday, um, and is safe.

00:47:57.720 We, we have you and your family and all of the families of those involved, um, uh, and all of the injured in our prayers.

00:48:06.760 We thank you so much, sir. And, uh, thank you for your service. And thank you for being on the program today.

00:48:11.980 Glenn, thank you. And you're a good friend. I appreciate what you do.

00:48:14.700 You bet. God bless.

00:48:15.500 Glenn Beck Program.

00:48:18.820 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, back.

00:48:21.440 Mercury.

00:48:25.320 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:48:28.080 Mm-hmm.

00:48:30.720 I want to give you a, um, I want to give you a tip on how to make things, um, better.

00:48:41.360 Um, and it's something that I'm, I'm working with the staff bit by bit on and, uh, something that I, I, I want to bring you in on because this is not something, uh, it's not something just for, uh, us.

00:48:59.300 This is something for, for all Americans.

00:49:04.620 And the, uh, the better way, the best way to describe them are these behavioral scientists that I've been studying and trying to, uh, reach out to and work with.

00:49:16.000 They don't believe this will work because it's all in the power of the individual.

00:49:22.320 I believe that it will work because it's all within the power of the individual.

00:49:29.020 And they look at this as, well, people have to find this and they have to do it and they have to really be informed on it.

00:49:37.020 And I look at it as, yeah, but I have a gathering of eight million friends every day.

00:49:42.160 I have a website that if we can start doing this and we can start modeling this, we can affect 50 million people every month.

00:49:54.880 Um, I think that is a good thing.

00:49:59.940 I want to fully understand it before I bring it to you, um, in its entirety.

00:50:05.020 But I, I, last night, because I thought it was appropriate, we were talking about the shooting and then it went into a couple of, um, the theorists.

00:50:16.220 One of them was a KB KGB agent who said the United States is going to break up.

00:50:21.220 And one historian said that we're going to break up into several different tribes.

00:50:28.360 Uh, I think there's like eight or 10 tribes.

00:50:30.740 And he said, they're the old historic tribes that the, you know, there's the, the, the mountain West people.

00:50:37.780 There are the Pacifica people.

00:50:40.500 Uh, there are the, the Texans and the, um, you know, the, the Southwest kind of people.

00:50:49.700 Um, there is the South and the North Atlantic.

00:50:54.060 And he kind of draws these, these maps out and says, look, this is, this is what's happening.

00:50:59.820 We're falling back into, into tribes.

00:51:04.800 And, and basically what he's saying is what's happening in the EU is going to happen to us.

00:51:10.520 Because that's what the real tension is, is in the EU.

00:51:14.100 It's not about the monetary system or money or, or anything else.

00:51:17.780 It's about people feeling as though their culture is being lost or denigrated or just usurped.

00:51:26.980 So how do we talk to each other?

00:51:31.760 I want to go over that.

00:51:33.240 And also David Barton is going to, uh, join us.

00:51:36.420 He's talked to, he's good friends with most of the congressmen that were on the field yesterday.

00:51:40.460 And he is also working on something that is starting to have some really exciting early results of something that we're doing with, uh, youth and interns.

00:51:51.060 When I say youth, 18 to 25 year olds, uh, that are at Mercury One this week.

00:51:55.300 We'll tell you about that next.

00:51:57.460 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:00.920 Mercury.

00:52:01.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:09.980 Here's Chuck Todd yesterday.

00:52:12.440 Listen to this.

00:52:13.260 And guess what?

00:52:13.760 We in the media, we have a role to play too.

00:52:16.900 We need to be calling out caustic rhetoric when it's there.

00:52:20.820 Uh, and not fighting back with caustic rhetoric.

00:52:24.300 What about-ism is among the worst instincts of partisans on both sides.

00:52:29.220 When somebody says this, they say, well, what about that?

00:52:32.340 That's not the issue.

00:52:33.360 Hopefully everybody is looking in the mirror tonight and going.

00:52:36.840 Little introspection from Chuck Todd there.

00:52:40.680 Uh, I think Chuck actually, I mean, I don't always agree with Chuck, um, by any stretch of the imagination.

00:52:45.840 Um, but my interactions with Chuck Todd is he is a, he, he tries, um, uh, you know, and he has glimmers of, of, of introspection, uh, to where he's like,

00:52:58.680 okay, wait a minute.

00:52:59.880 I mean, I think he sees the world like most reporters do, um, because they live in a bubble and they don't, they just, they don't see it from our perspective.

00:53:08.820 Just like many of us don't see it from their perspective because we don't walk a day or a month or a year in their shoes.

00:53:17.240 Um, and we are living in two vastly different worlds.

00:53:20.700 And there are thousands of examples we could bring up today of media members doing it the wrong way.

00:53:25.760 Um, you know, another one we should bring up that is doing it the right way yet again, Jake Tapper.

00:53:30.720 Yes.

00:53:31.360 Now think of it this way.

00:53:33.000 It was, let's, it was easy for us in 2011 after Gabby Giffords to say, well, you can't blame the entire movement.

00:53:41.080 It's just this one person who did this.

00:53:43.080 It was easy for us to do that.

00:53:44.420 Okay.

00:53:45.540 Today, it's easy for Democrats to say, well, you can't blame Bernie, Bernie Sanders or the left.

00:53:50.500 It was just one person.

00:53:51.940 It's easy for them.

00:53:53.000 It's hard for us today to do the opposite.

00:53:56.020 Especially after Shakespeare in the park, Kathy, Kathy Griffin, uh, you know, Antifa movement, all of the stuff that is going on.

00:54:04.760 And it's very difficult to say, and it feels good to say, well, what about we have the difficult task today?

00:54:12.620 It should be easy for the media today or the left today to say, Hey, this is not about one person, but we should, you know, we should obviously watch our rhetoric, but separate from the fact that this is one person responsible.

00:54:22.600 We should point out though, in 2011, it was Jake Tapper on television saying, uh, the shooter's, uh, motives remain unclear.

00:54:32.540 One acquaintance from 2007 described him as a liberal.

00:54:36.560 So it was Jake Tapper on television saying that the investigation into all of Jared Lee Loeffner's writings showed he was obsessed with Gabby Giffords three years before the, uh, Sarah Palin target ad was produced three years previous to that.

00:54:56.420 He was obsessed with this person.

00:54:59.160 And of course, all the stuff about how grammar was a global conspiracy and all of that other stuff that showed that it was not politically motivated at all, but he stood up then to do it when it may have been difficult, when it was easy for the media to blame the conservatives, right?

00:55:15.240 He stood up and said, no, and we should be that same person.

00:55:18.940 Now we should be the people saying, wait a minute, this is one person and they are responsible, but we could talk about it in a grander context as a moment to kind of let's examine.

00:55:29.160 The way we, we, we do these things on a daily basis, but that is separate.

00:55:32.320 As you pointed out, it's in a lock box by itself.

00:55:34.720 This one person is responsible.

00:55:37.740 So how are we going to change, um, the course?

00:55:41.380 The only way to do it is one person at a time as individuals, we have to change.

00:55:46.540 We have to educate ourselves and we have to make a choice on how we're going to react.

00:55:51.200 And we have to be, we can't just, we get hits of dopamine and you can't just, uh, get a hit of dopamine for throwing,

00:55:59.160 rocks at people and then expect to go cold Turkey.

00:56:01.960 You need to replace dopamine with dopamine.

00:56:04.940 So how can you feel good?

00:56:07.420 Let me give you a couple of, let me give you a couple of things.

00:56:09.740 First of all, thank you so much for being a part of Mercury One's Nazarene Fund.

00:56:15.420 Um, we are, we are still active and there's much more to do.

00:56:20.320 Uh, and we're about to make an announcement, uh, hopefully soon that will show an expansion

00:56:25.060 of the Nazarene Fund and we need your help on that.

00:56:28.360 Um, Mercury One also with disaster relief.

00:56:32.060 There is a story from, and I brought David Barton in, he's on the board of directors.

00:56:36.700 Um, I brought him in, um, there's a story from the Mountain Press.

00:56:40.960 Now this just came out June.

00:56:43.900 Um, Gatlinburg, about 50 students at, uh, Pi Veda Phi Elementary School have been taking

00:56:51.740 home a bag filled with food every weekend since shortly after November, 2016 fires, courtesy

00:56:57.420 of a nonprofit in Texas.

00:56:58.980 This is our front page.

00:57:00.480 Mercury One, a humanitarian aid and education organization founded in 2011 by author and media

00:57:05.620 host Glenn Beck, assists communities as needs arise.

00:57:08.960 The website featured a post on November 29th, the day after the fires alerting followers for

00:57:12.700 the disasters, representatives provide multiple updates and accepted donations while simultaneously

00:57:17.340 working with locals to assess early needs.

00:57:20.680 Uh, they came looking and asking, what can we do?

00:57:23.420 How can we help?

00:57:24.660 They wanted to do something tangible.

00:57:26.540 How much will it cost?

00:57:27.700 Where is it going?

00:57:28.920 They gave around $6,000 in gift cards immediately.

00:57:32.560 They went and got that, uh, said Brenda Sturbins of Mercury One.

00:57:37.120 Sturbins, who serves as executive pastor of New Hope Church in Kodak, work with other Mercury

00:57:41.720 One and other organizations in the day after the fires.

00:57:44.180 More than six months later, Sturbins is still working with Mercury One.

00:57:48.620 It's about 50 bags every week filled with jars of peanut butter crackers, jerky Gatorade.

00:57:54.260 We have a team of people, people weekly who come in, put this together, blah, blah, blah,

00:57:58.840 blah, blah.

00:57:59.320 I will say jerky Gatorade.

00:58:00.580 Does that sound like a good flavor?

00:58:01.780 Right.

00:58:02.040 Well, it's, it's cheap.

00:58:03.120 So, uh, David, this story ran, tell me what, tell me the letter you got from this story.

00:58:09.640 Well, the letter was really interesting because the story ran and as I mentioned to you, it

00:58:14.760 kind of reminded me, and that's what you've got there in front of you.

00:58:17.240 Yep.

00:58:17.360 It was kind of like Jesus with the 10 lepers, he healed 10 of them, and only one came back

00:58:22.620 to say thank you.

00:58:23.440 Listen to this.

00:58:24.120 This lady.

00:58:24.940 Listen to this.

00:58:25.900 One of my three daughters are students at an elementary school in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

00:58:30.820 For months, they have each been bringing home a bag of food and snacks every weekend.

00:58:35.560 I had no idea where it came from.

00:58:38.060 At first, I was embarrassed, but I'm a single mom of three, and we lost everything in the fires,

00:58:43.320 so that didn't last long.

00:58:45.700 I appreciate this so much.

00:58:47.460 So did my daughters.

00:58:48.460 Because Gatorade and individual fruit cups are a luxury, it seems like such a small thing,

00:58:53.560 but the impact made in our lives was sustainable, uh, was substantial.

00:58:57.580 When I saw on the front page of the paper, I literally started crying and immediately felt

00:59:02.200 the need to reach out and express my very sincere appreciation.

00:59:06.760 So I wanted, David and I wanted to get on today and say to you, thank you.

00:59:11.980 Thank you.

00:59:13.880 All of the things that Mercury One does is because of you, and you may not, you may not

00:59:21.140 see it, and we're going to get better at showing you the results and telling you the

00:59:25.800 results, because you need the hit of dopamine.

00:59:29.200 And if you want to help, and you want to get involved, we'd love for you to actually help,

00:59:34.460 but we also, we really need your help, um, uh, financially.

00:59:39.140 And you can become a member, you can give $5 if that's all you have.

00:59:42.980 You can give 25 cents if that's all you have.

00:59:45.740 Um, uh, $5 goes a very long way, but this is the kind of people who help.

00:59:52.980 So we had an expert come in recently and talked to us about the foundation and, uh, they were

00:59:59.400 doing, um, an audit of our systems and everything else.

01:00:03.900 And their big, you know, uh, 501c3 person, they said, how many donors do you have and how

01:00:10.760 much money have you given out?

01:00:12.500 Blah, blah, blah.

01:00:13.020 And we told them, and they said, how many donors do you have?

01:00:15.460 We told them the number of donors and David, they're right.

01:00:19.040 Their eyes open up.

01:00:20.100 They said, how, how, how many?

01:00:22.880 And we told them and they said, those are like five and $10 donations.

01:00:27.420 We're like, yeah, they have never seen an organization with so many committed people that are all across

01:00:35.300 the country.

01:00:35.840 They said, they literally said to us, that's an army of service.

01:00:39.880 Said we, that's what we're trying to build.

01:00:43.080 This came in from a woman and we've got to send this back.

01:00:46.660 I just, I can't, uh, dear Mercury one, it would have been 48 years today, way fewer years since he

01:00:54.660 introduced me to Glenn Beck.

01:00:56.360 You'll like him.

01:00:57.280 He talks like you.

01:00:58.460 He said, he was a family therapist and drove all over central Missouri to visit his clients.

01:01:04.060 She's talking about her husband.

01:01:05.840 She heard about the Nazarene fund and she, she just sent us this.

01:01:11.440 Her husband died.

01:01:12.940 She's an OR nurse.

01:01:14.760 Her husband gave her this gold chain.

01:01:18.240 Um, and she, he gave the gold chain because he wanted to keep her, her ring.

01:01:23.600 She's an OR nurse.

01:01:24.700 So she had to take off her rings, wanted her to be able to keep her ring around her during

01:01:30.020 surgery.

01:01:30.440 So she would take her ring off during surgery and put it around her necklace.

01:01:33.300 When he died, uh, his gold ring, she put and hung around her neck.

01:01:38.920 She said, this is all I have, but I know he would want it to go to help the Christians

01:01:46.020 in the Middle East.

01:01:47.040 Um, we have, um, some pretty amazing things going on this week.

01:02:01.680 David, can you just tell us quickly what's happening with the, with the, um, 18 to 25

01:02:06.680 year olds that are here?

01:02:07.520 We have a boatload of 18 to 25 year olds, college age kids recently out of college.

01:02:12.480 Some working on master's higher degrees.

01:02:14.120 Some now teachers that are in for two week.

01:02:17.480 We call it an intern program.

01:02:19.020 It's a training program.

01:02:20.000 And they come in and they get what they should have been getting to school for the last several

01:02:24.660 decades and haven't.

01:02:26.280 And that is a good dose of, of history, God, American exceptionalism, constitution, the

01:02:31.640 apologetics for it, uh, with all the documents, artifacts they go through there.

01:02:35.760 It has been so fun to watch the transformation.

01:02:38.140 They hold this stuff.

01:02:39.240 I mean, we had them yesterday.

01:02:41.260 In two weeks, they're different people.

01:02:42.640 In two weeks, they're different people.

01:02:43.960 And they, they were holding yesterday letters from George Washington.

01:02:47.740 It's like, oh my gosh, I can't, you know, and just the impression that it makes on that.

01:02:52.620 And so these, these are kids that go back and they turn their professors upside down.

01:02:56.800 Uh, it's really cool.

01:02:58.000 You share the letter.

01:02:58.640 Do you have that letter by any chance?

01:03:00.220 The letter from, I can pull it up.

01:03:02.160 Pull it up.

01:03:02.760 There's a, there's a letter from somebody who, um, had just watched one of the videos

01:03:08.640 that we had made with your son.

01:03:10.480 Um, and we were talking, I believe it was the one where we were talking about how the

01:03:15.200 founders, there, you know, um, there was a deal out that said the founders were all

01:03:20.360 drunks and everything else because they met at pubs.

01:03:23.460 And we talked about the alcohol content.

01:03:25.760 We talked about all the different things that, that this Huffington Post blog writer, uh, you

01:03:32.580 know, hadn't taken into consideration.

01:03:34.780 Here's the letter that we got.

01:03:35.840 First thing we do is when your professor says something you don't think is right, ask him

01:03:39.360 for sources.

01:03:40.380 And when you start pinning professors asking for sources, it becomes embarrassing.

01:03:44.000 She said, I saw your, your part of the interview with Glenn Beck on the vault a few days ago.

01:03:48.200 I use that very tactic in my constitutional law class last fall.

01:03:52.300 My professor actually stated that the separation of church and state was written in the constitution.

01:03:57.000 I also had a textbook that said that the Republican party was the party, the KKK, and that it was

01:04:01.760 the racist party.

01:04:02.480 I showed the professor a photo of the newspaper that you showed regarding white supremacy,

01:04:07.620 vote Democrat.

01:04:08.680 She said that she believed that I had Photoshopped the picture.

01:04:11.800 And that was actually, that was an 18, uh, 1932 campaign poster, uh, in the presidential

01:04:18.340 campaign.

01:04:19.000 And then she made it and Photoshopped it.

01:04:20.820 It's very interesting.

01:04:21.980 When I asked these professors about their sources, they just claimed, well, it's a known fact

01:04:26.460 or, well, the history channel did this segment.

01:04:28.980 It's absurd that the students pay universities thousands of dollars a year for wrong information.

01:04:34.520 In some cases, I have a few girls here that are in my youth group and are going to college

01:04:38.680 this fall.

01:04:39.200 I plan to show them this segment tonight.

01:04:41.260 I hope it'll open their eyes.

01:04:42.420 Like the internship opened mine.

01:04:44.140 She says that internship changed my life and put me on the path God intended for me.

01:04:49.960 I'm still working at a law firm downtown.

01:04:52.240 I'm finished my undergrad degree.

01:04:53.720 I'm studying for law school.

01:04:54.820 I'm trying to open the door for our firm to have a special division to defend religious

01:04:59.160 liberties, but there's been some pushback, but I hope to be in the near future, an attorney

01:05:03.020 who defends the constitution.

01:05:05.360 So here's what I want to say to you first.

01:05:07.480 Thank you for supporting Mercury one, um, David, and thank you for supporting this program.

01:05:12.920 This is our education program, uh, and it's happening all summer long.

01:05:16.980 We will put several, um, kids, I mean, hundreds of kids through this program and we need your

01:05:22.720 support.

01:05:23.160 You can go to mercury one.org and just donate, um, David and I, there are, we've, we've been

01:05:29.940 doing auctions now.

01:05:31.240 You've been doing them since the 1980s.

01:05:33.260 I've been doing them for the last 15 years.

01:05:36.500 Um, there are some things up for auction, including, is it the 14th amendment?

01:05:42.260 13th amendment.

01:05:43.440 13th amendment.

01:05:44.360 The original, there was, you know, several made, the original hand signed 13th amendment

01:05:50.340 that is up for auction.

01:05:52.080 There are several things like that that we've never seen before and probably never will again.

01:05:56.540 Um, and I just said to David yesterday, if I had a million dollars, we could open a world

01:06:01.880 class museum tomorrow with what we have and what's on the auction block.

01:06:07.100 Um, and these things are important to be able to get into our culture, to be able to, uh, show

01:06:13.980 them firsthand.

01:06:14.660 Like that girl said, I showed that and they said that it was a Photoshop.

01:06:18.980 We must have the originals.

01:06:21.500 That's right.

01:06:21.780 We must have the originals or you can discredit everything.

01:06:26.420 We need your help.

01:06:28.540 Please support us.

01:06:30.340 Go to mercuryone.org, mercuryone.org.

01:06:33.660 Hit the donate button and help us, uh, in education and all that, all that Mercury One

01:06:39.840 is doing and is planning on doing.

01:06:41.560 We need your help.

01:06:43.000 Mercuryone.org.

01:06:44.740 Please, if you can do it today, David, we'll talk to you again.

01:06:47.860 Thank you so much.

01:06:48.440 And I think the students, all of the interns that are in the building are going to be on

01:06:52.020 TV tonight.

01:06:52.920 Yes, that's right.

01:06:53.600 And I'm going to be talking to them about what they've learned and, and, uh, and, and

01:06:58.100 what they think of the world.

01:06:59.720 That's, uh, that's tonight, five o'clock only on the blaze TV.

01:07:02.720 Thanks, David.

01:07:05.160 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:07:08.780 Mercury.

01:07:12.680 Triple A seven to seven back.

01:07:14.760 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:07:17.460 I'm just, have you, have you read Twitter and then tried to figure out which side, uh,

01:07:26.620 and which time period the responses are from?

01:07:29.780 For instance, the attacks on our president are unprecedented.

01:07:34.840 I mean, uh, which one, which side is saying that in what time period?

01:07:41.260 That could be Obama easily.

01:07:42.460 Yes.

01:07:42.900 Easy.

01:07:43.180 Uh, yeah.

01:07:45.520 Yeah.

01:07:46.160 Except it's not.

01:07:47.080 It's, uh, it's president Trump.

01:07:49.920 You know, everything's always unprecedented when it's, when it's, when it's our side.

01:07:53.300 Look, the shooter is the only one responsible for the shooting.

01:07:57.040 We each have a choice with the broken windows theory.

01:08:00.000 Are you going to pick up a rock and throw a yet another rock through a window pane?

01:08:04.680 Don't.

01:08:05.100 Don't.

01:08:06.900 The Glenn Beck program.

01:08:10.040 Mercury.

01:08:23.760 The Blaze Radio Network.

01:08:28.440 On demand.

01:08:29.740 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:36.280 The history of assassinations in America is fascinating.

01:08:42.000 Plus, what can we actually do to change the course of the country?

01:08:47.340 We begin there right now.

01:08:48.660 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:09:11.200 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:09:14.800 Uh, hello, America.

01:09:19.780 There, I'm just making a list of assassination attempts and assassinations in the United States.

01:09:26.880 It's, it's pretty amazing how many people, uh, up until JFK, how many people, um, were shot

01:09:35.360 and killed and how many people, uh, how many presidents were shot at.

01:09:41.320 The first one in America was 1835.

01:09:43.880 It was Andrew Jackson, um, and a guy named Richard Lawrence, who was absolutely out of

01:09:48.580 his mind, crazy, came up to the president with two pistols, both of them misfired.

01:09:53.480 And so Jackson took his cane out and beat the guy almost to death, which was nice.

01:09:57.820 Uh, and, uh, but he was, he was, uh, put in a mental institution for the rest of his life

01:10:02.580 because he was, he was just nuts.

01:10:03.940 Lincoln was assassinated in 19, in 1865, but there were actually three, 64, but there were

01:10:11.020 actually three attempts on his life, two of them in 64.

01:10:15.280 I thought it was 65, um, 18, it is 1865.

01:10:19.100 Thank you.

01:10:19.560 Um, 1861, uh, Lincoln was in Baltimore.

01:10:23.380 That was thwarted.

01:10:24.600 In 1864, he was on his way home from the soldier's home where he was working during the

01:10:29.920 day and he was coming home to the white house and the guy shot him in the head, but the

01:10:35.360 hat apparently was deceiving, uh, and it, it, the top of his head didn't go all the way

01:10:40.400 to the top of his hat.

01:10:41.520 I'm, you know, surprisingly, I guess.

01:10:43.860 Uh, and it just went through his hat and, uh, they never caught that guy.

01:10:48.820 Uh, and then in 1860, that's amazing.

01:10:52.160 Yeah.

01:10:52.460 Then in 1865, so he, they tried to kill him three times.

01:10:55.540 He is, he, he survived two assassination attempts.

01:10:58.300 Wow.

01:10:58.420 In 1881, Garfield was shot by a crazy man.

01:11:03.260 He was actually killed eventually by his doctor.

01:11:06.000 Um, he was shot by a crazy man who was trying to help him, liked, uh, Garfield.

01:11:12.420 Um, uh, but he was nuts and he thought he had written a speech, uh, that Garfield had used,

01:11:18.680 which was not true.

01:11:19.560 He was treated at the white house like garbage because he talked to, I think it was his press

01:11:23.720 secretary or, or, or something like that.

01:11:26.300 And he had said, I need to be the ambassador of France and I need to see Garfield.

01:11:30.920 And the guy said, get, get out of here.

01:11:32.260 Yeah.

01:11:32.380 And he really believed that he helped get Garfield elected.

01:11:35.140 Right.

01:11:35.420 So he deserved some sort of reward.

01:11:37.480 Right.

01:11:37.800 And when he was treated by garbage by his underlings like that, he thought Garfield was not the

01:11:43.080 man he thought he was and went and shot him.

01:11:45.400 He shot him.

01:11:46.720 This is before they knew anything about germs or bacteria or anything else.

01:11:50.840 Uh, and they would stick their fingers into the side of Garfield and they were just trolling

01:11:57.180 around looking for that bullet.

01:11:59.500 Uh, imagine that a doctor came from Europe and said, Hey, there's this new thing called,

01:12:04.820 uh, antibiotics and we should sterilize.

01:12:08.180 And the doctor, uh, was a control freak and he was outraged.

01:12:13.980 How dare you try to tell me?

01:12:15.480 And he's like, he's dying from infection.

01:12:17.920 No, he's not.

01:12:18.560 He's dying.

01:12:18.980 So we have to get this bullet wound here.

01:12:20.340 Give me that rusty knife.

01:12:21.940 Uh, and the doctor actually killed him, um, that way in, uh, 1909 McKinley was killed by

01:12:29.360 an anarchist in, uh, 1901 in 1909 Taft was, uh, they had tried to assassinate him on a trip

01:12:36.900 to Mexico and was stopped by, uh, by his, uh, security detail, right?

01:12:41.220 Oh, I thought it was stopped because he was overweight.

01:12:43.460 Wait, no, that would be in 1912, uh, Teddy Roosevelt, uh, they tried to kill him.

01:12:51.000 That's a fascinating, fascinating story.

01:12:52.780 He gave an hour and a half speech with a bullet in his chest.

01:12:56.140 That guy was just amazing.

01:12:57.480 Incredible.

01:12:58.340 1928 Hoover was in Chile and anarchists tried to kill Hoover.

01:13:02.320 1933.

01:13:03.260 They tried to kill, uh, FDR.

01:13:05.080 Again, another anarchist tried to kill him in, uh, 33.

01:13:10.000 There was another assassination attempt on his life, um, at the, uh, Tehran conference

01:13:16.580 in 1943.

01:13:18.260 The guy who took a shot at him in 33, they think was not shooting at him, but shooting

01:13:24.940 at the mayor of Chicago.

01:13:26.740 Killed him too.

01:13:27.500 Uh, yeah.

01:13:28.040 Killed the mayor of Chicago.

01:13:29.360 Uh, and, and they think that it was because of the Al Capone arrest.

01:13:33.300 And so, uh, and FDR just happened to be in the line of fire at the time.

01:13:39.280 It was not an assassination of the president.

01:13:41.340 It was an assassination attempt on the life of the Chicago mayor, but we're not sure of

01:13:46.100 that.

01:13:46.760 Um, Harry Truman, uh, pending the independence of Israel, um, a, um, uh, letter bombs were sent

01:13:55.280 to the president at the, uh, White House, uh, and then in 1950, two Puerto Rican pro-independence

01:14:02.580 activists, uh, they went and they tried to, uh, kill the president on the steps of the

01:14:08.040 executive, uh, mansion, uh, across the street.

01:14:11.620 Then John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, uh, wanted to, uh, shoot Nixon, but he had strong security.

01:14:19.300 Uh, a few weeks later, the same guy who tried to kill Nixon went and shot George Wallace.

01:14:24.940 Uh, Gerald Ford had a couple of shots taken at him.

01:14:28.400 Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, of course, George H.W. Bush, uh, Bill Clinton, George, uh, George

01:14:34.020 W. Bush, um, uh, twice people, Barack Obama, three times, uh, there was a letter, uh, laced

01:14:42.180 with Rison sent to President Obama, a man who believed he was Jesus and that Obama was

01:14:47.820 the Antichrist, uh, hit the White House with several rounds of fire from, uh, semi-automatic

01:14:53.900 rifle that was in 2011, 2009, a plot to assassinate, uh, Obama by the Alliance of Civilizations, a

01:15:02.420 summit in Istanbul, Turkey.

01:15:04.500 It was, uh, discovered, um, when a guy with a Syrian origins carrying a forged Al Jazeera

01:15:12.200 TV press credential was found.

01:15:14.280 He confessed to the Turkish security, secret service that he was going to kill President

01:15:20.120 Obama.

01:15:20.820 There have been over 30 assassination attempts.

01:15:23.600 Yeah.

01:15:24.140 30.

01:15:24.900 Imagine.

01:15:26.500 Imagine.

01:15:27.180 And imagine what would have happened had this actually been accomplished yesterday.

01:15:32.920 I, I haven't heard anybody speculate on that.

01:15:35.920 I mean, just throw out, what do you think we would be talking about today?

01:15:40.620 I mean, it's almost Kiefer Sutherland series level, right?

01:15:44.100 Yeah.

01:15:44.740 I mean, you lose a 10th of one of the parties, by the way, the majority is gone, right?

01:15:50.920 I mean, and that's, I know it's a minor, uh, political point, uh, there on the side of

01:15:55.620 that, but I mean, three weeks later when bills are coming up to vote before, until these people

01:15:59.920 are all replaced, there's no majority for Republicans.

01:16:02.340 And what would, what would Congress and the Senate be saying in the next week?

01:16:07.400 Remember after 9-11, we got Home, Department of Homeland Security.

01:16:11.320 What kind of crackdown would happen if you would have killed a 10th of the GOP?

01:16:16.240 What, what would the president be saying?

01:16:18.360 What would Congress be saying?

01:16:19.620 What would the media be saying?

01:16:20.900 What would we be saying?

01:16:22.040 Who would we be today?

01:16:23.800 Hey, had this guy been successful yesterday, they were not the only ones that dodged a bullet,

01:16:32.500 America.

01:16:33.700 We were as well.

01:16:35.740 And I think we were given, uh, a chance to self-reflect on how are we going to talk to

01:16:43.960 one another?

01:16:45.160 So I want to go there next.

01:16:47.740 And I, I want to show you something that is early, but I want to show you something that

01:16:51.500 we are working on.

01:16:52.420 I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand, cause we are one, one, one, one, one, one.

01:17:00.220 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:17:13.880 Hey, before we get into, before we get into what we can do, um, I think it's important

01:17:20.360 to start with the correction of the New York Times today.

01:17:23.500 The New York Times has, has issued a correction to what they had printed, um, about Gabby Giffords.

01:17:31.360 Do you want to go over that?

01:17:32.580 This is unusual and remarkable, I think.

01:17:36.860 Yeah.

01:17:37.300 I mean, it's, uh, quite unusual, um, especially from, cause I mean, they do issue corrections

01:17:42.580 a lot of times on kind of meaningless stuff, um, you know, details, they do issue a lot

01:17:47.100 of corrections.

01:17:47.880 To correct one of their editorials, one of the main points they were making, uh, is pretty

01:17:53.640 freaking significant.

01:17:54.620 Uh, here's what the correction reads.

01:17:57.300 An earlier version of this editorial incorrectly stated that a link existed between political

01:18:02.640 incitement and the 2011 shooting of Representative Gabby Giffords.

01:18:05.900 In fact, no such link was established.

01:18:10.000 That's amazing.

01:18:10.900 I don't know how it gets to print.

01:18:12.680 I don't know how they don't know that before they put the actual editorial up, but I mean,

01:18:17.240 I'm glad they corrected it and it is important.

01:18:19.940 Uh, there is absolutely zero evidence.

01:18:23.120 In fact, it is provable that this had nothing to do with it.

01:18:26.960 Uh, I mean, you know, uh, to the point of he was obsessing about Gabby Giffords three

01:18:30.960 years before the ad came out.

01:18:32.280 Uh, so, uh, you know, and there's, you know, if any, he had any leaning, as we said, an

01:18:37.400 acquaintance called him a liberal.

01:18:39.220 Yeah.

01:18:39.480 Um, but I mean, it was not a political assassination.

01:18:41.600 It was not, it was not that.

01:18:44.160 I mean, this is a guy who believed grammar was a conspiracy.

01:18:49.600 Yeah.

01:18:50.140 It's almost incomprehensible.

01:18:51.700 Yesterday, it was a political assassination attempt.

01:18:55.760 Yesterday, it was about politics, but it had nothing to do with Bernie Sanders and Bernie

01:19:00.420 Sanders rhetoric or anything else.

01:19:02.280 This guy was nuts.

01:19:03.920 This guy believed what he believed.

01:19:06.360 Uh, and he's the one who loaded the gun, got the gun, lived in his van for two weeks.

01:19:10.980 I mean, the guy was nuts, period.

01:19:13.480 It was politically motivated.

01:19:16.140 Who had anything to do with that?

01:19:19.140 Did Rachel Maddow wind him up?

01:19:21.280 No, she, he tweeted about Rachel Maddow.

01:19:23.780 He tweeted about Ed Schultz.

01:19:26.040 He tweeted about all his shows.

01:19:27.300 If you buy into that, then you better check his Facebook and what he tweeted and what he

01:19:33.560 Facebooked about.

01:19:34.820 A lot of stories from Russia today.

01:19:37.680 Yeah.

01:19:37.820 Russia today is another one.

01:19:39.220 So was he wound up by the Russians?

01:19:41.660 And I don't know if this has been widely reported, but he was also pretty much, he was very pro-Sanders,

01:19:46.380 anti-Clinton, right?

01:19:47.800 Like he was that left-wing socialist, once Bernie, but not Hillary type of guy.

01:19:53.780 Um, but he loved a lot of these left-wing shows.

01:19:56.500 Is it their fault?

01:19:57.100 No, of course not.

01:19:59.960 It is not their fault at all.

01:20:03.400 It's not Rachel Maddow's fault.

01:20:05.460 It's nobody on MSNBC's fault.

01:20:07.100 You could make the case that the uber, uber left, just like the uber, uber right, they

01:20:12.900 do want revolution.

01:20:15.280 And he may be, he may have been a supporter of the Antifa movement.

01:20:19.720 He, uh, I don't know.

01:20:20.920 There are groups certainly that do advocate for violence.

01:20:23.800 That want revolution.

01:20:24.320 Wouldn't it be refreshing if the left did the same thing we're doing right now?

01:20:28.820 Wouldn't that be great?

01:20:29.520 Wouldn't it be?

01:20:30.060 Give it a balanced look at it, a fair and balanced, since Fox just dropped that, I guess we can

01:20:35.640 keep it, we can take it from them.

01:20:38.200 We got a fair and balanced look at...

01:20:40.500 Did they say what they were replacing it with?

01:20:41.880 I think, uh, most watched, most trusted.

01:20:47.360 Isn't the most trusted name in news?

01:20:49.700 Isn't that the CNN?

01:20:51.320 Most trusted?

01:20:51.960 Was it, uh, I don't know, but Fox has actually won every poll along those lines for years

01:20:58.260 now.

01:20:58.620 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:20:58.740 So, maybe they're just going to take it from him.

01:21:01.260 I don't know.

01:21:01.940 And, and there were some examples today.

01:21:04.040 For example, of the, the Jared Lee Loeffner thing, um, you know, you said, wouldn't it

01:21:07.760 be nice?

01:21:08.440 Yeah.

01:21:08.700 Uh, Chris Hayes, for example, on MSNBC, uh, when that came out, people on the right were

01:21:13.400 criticizing, how can you tie this?

01:21:14.880 And he said, yeah, I'll, let me step up here and say, that's completely nuts.

01:21:19.060 I mean, these are tough examples.

01:21:21.600 It's hard to do that when you're on the left in a moment like this.

01:21:24.360 And those people should be given credit.

01:21:26.240 We should also criticize the people who don't, uh, who don't do that and who break the double,

01:21:32.680 so, you know, who create a double standard for themselves and blame the right for 2011

01:21:36.320 and don't do it here.

01:21:37.860 When here, actually, there's at least a tie.

01:21:40.820 Jared Lee Loeffner didn't support Sarah Palin.

01:21:43.300 There is an absolute, that is provable.

01:21:45.680 Here, we have a situation where this person did support all these left-wing causes, but

01:21:49.520 that still doesn't make them responsible.

01:21:51.380 That is not the way this works.

01:21:52.740 Right.

01:21:52.880 So, it is really easy, um, it's really easy on the left to, uh, do what the New York

01:22:01.180 Times did at first.

01:22:03.080 It's really hard for them to issue the correction.

01:22:07.440 Um, it is really hard for people on MSNBC to come out and say, look, uh, just like with

01:22:16.640 Gabby Giffords, uh, it was crazy then, it's crazy now.

01:22:20.160 It's really hard for people on the right to say that and not throw stones because everything

01:22:25.480 depends on clicks now.

01:22:27.920 Everything depends on ratings.

01:22:29.420 I mean, it was really interesting to listen to Bill O'Reilly, um, talk about ratings, uh,

01:22:35.220 earlier this week.

01:22:36.200 He's on with us tomorrow, by the way.

01:22:38.020 But when he was on with us, he talked about ratings and how everything is done for ratings.

01:22:42.760 Well, how do you get ratings?

01:22:44.440 You get ratings by dividing people.

01:22:46.640 You get ratings by calling out a boogeyman because that's what the, that's what people

01:22:50.820 want.

01:22:51.200 They want the red meat.

01:22:52.480 So who are we going to be able to work with?

01:22:56.340 Who can we, who can we trust to give us the news and give it to us straight?

01:23:03.280 Well, people like Jake Tapper who were consistent then and are consistent now.

01:23:08.560 Those are the things, these are the times that we can learn who's trustworthy.

01:23:13.880 Who's going to say it when it was tough.

01:23:16.480 Let me, let me give you a little flashback here, uh, which is perhaps maybe the best

01:23:21.680 example of this.

01:23:22.280 We haven't even discussed since this whole terrible tragedy happened.

01:23:25.920 Uh, this is back in 2010, uh, couple hosts on the program, uh, Pat Gray, Stubergeer, uh,

01:23:34.740 filling in for, uh, Mr. Glenn Beck that particular day.

01:23:38.120 And there was a shooting, eight people killed, uh, uh, at a workplace.

01:23:43.700 And we talked about it.

01:23:45.480 I said, a guy like that, who's a little bit unstable anyway, can it can't help but react

01:23:49.640 to the constant pressure of Keith Olbermann on the air and MSNBC talking about all the

01:23:52.980 racism there is out there.

01:23:54.080 Cause he was, that was his complaint.

01:23:56.180 Um, and, uh, and then we said Keith Olbermann was responsible.

01:24:02.360 Keith Olbermann was responsible for the shooting and media matters did a big report about how,

01:24:07.860 uh, we, uh, we were, we can't, we blaming Keith Olbermann for the shooting.

01:24:13.040 What an unbelievable charge.

01:24:14.260 How dare you?

01:24:15.620 Of course they cut out the next paragraph of, uh, in next few seconds where I said, obviously

01:24:21.860 we're making a point here.

01:24:23.140 Let's move that to the case of the tea party members.

01:24:25.140 They're constantly convinced the government is after them and they're going to come take

01:24:27.980 their guns.

01:24:28.420 Well, who's always talking about that?

01:24:29.600 Glenn Beck.

01:24:30.460 So therefore he's responsible for every time anyone does anything.

01:24:33.580 They actually had to issue a correction because they edited media matters issued a correction

01:24:41.180 because what we were saying at that time when it was hard for us was, you know what?

01:24:46.880 Keith Olbermann is not responsible for a murder.

01:24:50.680 He's not, he can say anything he wants in a political context outside of actually saying

01:24:56.000 specifically, go murder people.

01:24:58.020 And it has nothing to do with a shooter.

01:25:00.400 Media matters intentionally cut that off and later got caught and had to issue correction

01:25:05.100 about it.

01:25:05.660 Um, and here we are years later where the same crap happens from many of the same people.

01:25:13.060 And, you know, we have to choose whether who, you know, what kind of people we want to be.

01:25:16.900 Do we want to be the people who actually stand up and say, and can live with ourselves and

01:25:21.460 sleep at night knowing that we have consistent principles or do we just want to throw away

01:25:25.960 around the same crappy accusations the other side does in those moments?

01:25:29.160 I know which I choose and I'm going to show you how to do it when we come back.

01:25:35.660 So it's not just hard to do the right thing.

01:26:05.660 It's fighting an addiction to do the right thing.

01:26:08.860 Right.

01:26:09.360 And, um, but that's why great people are remembered because if it was easy, everybody would have

01:26:17.440 done it.

01:26:18.180 It takes a special class of people.

01:26:20.820 And if you didn't happen to see the show, uh, my show today, uh, the last 15 minutes talked

01:26:26.280 about something that we're working on and, and I want to bring you in, you know, I talked

01:26:30.240 to you about coming into my office tomorrow because we're going to work on something as

01:26:34.980 a company and as a team, this is going to be really hard to do.

01:26:39.160 People who, this is, uh, from last night's, uh, Dana show.

01:26:42.620 I urge you to watch last night's show at five o'clock.

01:26:46.260 You can watch it on demand.

01:26:48.040 Um, the last half hour, I mean, the whole thing was, was pretty good, but the last half

01:26:52.600 hour really kind of got to a chalkboard.

01:26:54.160 And I, I showed you, um, you know, we're, we're, we're tearing each other apart.

01:26:59.180 And, and so what are we going to do about it?

01:27:01.460 And I want to go over a little bit of this, um, now we are, um, at Mercury, I have spent

01:27:09.720 the last four months, um, working on some things and, um, and I, I, I'm going to drill

01:27:18.880 this over and over and over again, because as I do it, I, I understand it even more.

01:27:23.600 However, there's, there's really three or four books that I would like you to read and

01:27:29.060 we'll talk about those in the coming days.

01:27:31.720 Um, but one of them is called The Righteous Mind by Jonathan, uh, Haidt and, uh, or Haidt.

01:27:39.100 And he is a, um, a, a New York liberal NYU professor who's not liberal anymore.

01:27:48.540 He said at the beginning of his book, I thought before I started doing all this research that

01:27:53.380 I was a deep progressive, as it turns out, I'm not, but I didn't understand the right

01:28:00.080 because they never spoke my language.

01:28:02.660 I didn't think they cared about people.

01:28:05.160 Now here's an educated man and an honest guy who says, as I started doing research, I realized,

01:28:12.020 wait, that's, that's not who they are.

01:28:15.240 And the reason why he came to that is because a couple of people started speaking his language.

01:28:20.920 In talking to him, you know, off air and talking to him, uh, about his theories, I found out

01:28:29.420 that I'm one of the guys that was speaking his language and he was shocked because I was

01:28:35.460 one of the guys he was studying because I'm so hate-filled.

01:28:38.780 And, uh, what he realized is, wait, I think I've misunderstood this entire thing.

01:28:44.560 Now he's come up to explain what's happening to us and, uh, and he was looking for a way

01:28:54.140 for people to be able to reach out to each other, but he doesn't think he found it.

01:28:58.540 I do.

01:29:00.020 And it's a fantastic read, um, that, that describes what's happening to the human brain and how he

01:29:07.900 describes this, um, this is an older theory, but he's really kind of made this, um, he's

01:29:15.120 brought it to life.

01:29:16.900 What happens is we, our brain, our choices, so much of our choices are guttural.

01:29:28.120 We, we're presented, for instance, I don't know if you know this, this is crazy.

01:29:31.440 We see 5,000 advertisements a day.

01:29:35.260 We see 5,000 advertisements a day.

01:29:38.780 Now that doesn't even seem possible, but that's the average that the Americans see every single

01:29:45.180 day.

01:29:45.560 So we're weeding those things out because how many of them actually make it to us recognizing

01:29:51.300 that's an ad?

01:29:52.840 We make 15,000 yes or no choices every single day.

01:29:57.860 I don't think that's even possible, but at least 15,000 on average.

01:30:06.200 So much of what we do is what he calls the elephant part of the brain.

01:30:12.460 And the elephant is this big, huge, immovable, uh, object that reason is sitting on top of.

01:30:23.620 And reason is sitting on top of this elephant and it's really rarely consulted by the elephant

01:30:30.240 because the elephant is just moving and it's moving based on what it has experienced, what

01:30:38.600 its upbringing was, uh, what its first reaction is, uh, what first impressions are, you know,

01:30:46.520 you meet somebody and your first impression is, I don't know if I really trust them.

01:30:49.860 I don't know if I like them sometimes if you have to, you will say, wait a minute, let

01:30:54.860 me reason this out.

01:30:55.900 But most times you just kind of let that go and it builds one way or the other.

01:31:00.260 Well, that's the elephant.

01:31:02.100 And then before you know it, you just don't trust that guy and you're not really sure why

01:31:05.920 I just don't trust him.

01:31:07.060 That's the elephant.

01:31:08.940 When it comes to critical decisions, especially when fear is introduced, we know that fear

01:31:15.240 fear shuts reason down and that's because the elephant just says through experience, we're

01:31:21.720 going that way.

01:31:23.640 And the writer, because this, this part of the brain, this intuition and this X factor

01:31:30.700 in the brain is so big and so lumbering, the writer, the reason can rarely turn it.

01:31:39.140 Now, it can be turned, but it usually is turned not by a great argument.

01:31:45.900 We always say, how are we losing?

01:31:47.500 We have the great argument.

01:31:49.360 Well, it's not turned by the great argument.

01:31:52.280 It's actually more likely to have the writer stop and wake up and tell the elephant stop for

01:31:59.600 a minute from peer pressure.

01:32:01.760 It's more likely to be stopped when a bunch of people that the elephant trusts says, you

01:32:11.520 got this wrong, you got to listen, you have this wrong.

01:32:15.540 That's really the only time that you have a chance that the elephant stops.

01:32:20.920 The other time is when the elephant meets somebody new and likes them and has a general feeling

01:32:30.740 of this is a good guy and that person gently challenges the elephant's belief in a kind and friendly

01:32:40.060 way and then the elephant kind of looks up to the writer and says, does that make sense?

01:32:48.560 But that rarely happens.

01:32:50.580 Does this make sense so far?

01:32:54.180 You understand?

01:32:55.880 So, my job has been for the last year to figure out two things.

01:33:11.340 How do we talk to the American people?

01:33:13.780 How do we talk to them in a different way when so much rhetoric and so much fear and anger

01:33:23.520 is happening?

01:33:25.560 Remember, I've made a pledge to myself and I've asked you to make this pledge years ago.

01:33:33.060 I will not go over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

01:33:35.940 So, now, here we are.

01:33:40.100 Humanity is going over a cliff.

01:33:43.020 How do we stop our friends?

01:33:45.000 I've said to you for many years, you're going to have to be the one that says, stop, don't

01:33:49.440 go that way.

01:33:50.300 Well, when they're panicked, when they're fearful and the elephant is in charge, how do you wake

01:33:55.380 the writer up?

01:33:58.620 Well, first, you have to be a trusted friend.

01:34:01.260 You have to be kind.

01:34:05.700 The best book you can read right now, this is according to Jonathan Haidt, one of the

01:34:10.760 best ways to do it is start with how to win friends and influence people.

01:34:15.480 Norman Vincent Peale.

01:34:16.900 Because the whole thing was actually care about the other person.

01:34:21.920 Listen to them.

01:34:24.020 Listen to them.

01:34:25.840 I would have behaved much differently in the last 18 months.

01:34:29.220 Had I not been so arrogant, and I would have listened to you more.

01:34:36.400 But I didn't.

01:34:38.220 And what I was talking about was principles, and those principles are great, and we all

01:34:42.200 agreed on those principles.

01:34:43.300 And I thought I was talking to the writer.

01:34:46.200 What I didn't realize is that you are struggling so hard with insurance.

01:34:57.100 You're struggling so hard.

01:34:59.400 I know the chaos, what you're feeling.

01:35:03.660 But honestly, I thought it was more at our level, that we're looking at the news and can't

01:35:08.460 figure it out, and that I just didn't see you.

01:35:12.920 I was too egotistical.

01:35:14.240 I saw me.

01:35:14.940 And that ended in disaster.

01:35:21.020 That's not good.

01:35:22.500 Many of us aren't friends now.

01:35:24.500 Many of the people who were with me for a long time, they're not friends anymore.

01:35:29.120 Well, that's not...

01:35:30.360 How did that happen?

01:35:31.560 My fault.

01:35:32.700 Okay, I got that.

01:35:34.240 So now, how do we repair that, and how do we now reach out to people who have never liked

01:35:40.700 any of us?

01:35:45.080 I'm going to explain this quickly.

01:35:48.040 It's called the Moral Foundations Theory.

01:35:51.760 And what he has done, and I urge you to watch it on the Blaze TV, if you have a subscription,

01:35:57.320 just watch it right now.

01:35:58.340 This is actually in my office, and this is something that I'm actually taking the staff

01:36:02.600 through every day, and we've just started.

01:36:05.380 But let me just show you how it works.

01:36:06.680 There are five moral foundations that our society generally runs on, and it's loyalty

01:36:17.900 and betrayal, sanctity and disgust, authority and subversion, care and harm, liberty and oppression.

01:36:25.160 So the flip side of five moral pillars.

01:36:27.660 What Jonathan Haidt found in his research is that conservatives have loyalty and betrayal,

01:36:36.100 sanctity and disgust, authority and subversion.

01:36:38.660 We have those strongly.

01:36:41.900 Liberals have care and harm and liberty and oppression, and they really have care and oppression.

01:36:47.860 They don't focus on liberty as much as they focus on oppression.

01:36:50.840 Libertarians happen to have all five, and you'll see libertarians always seem to get a bunch

01:36:59.840 of liberals to join them.

01:37:01.860 Why?

01:37:03.160 Because they're the only ones speaking from a place of authenticity on care and harm, liberty

01:37:11.420 and oppression.

01:37:11.920 conservatives do have all five, but they don't exercise all five very often, and on top of

01:37:24.640 that, liberals only have two, and they never go up to the top three.

01:37:30.980 So let me just show you how this works.

01:37:32.960 When it comes to health care, they argue health care, you don't care, you want to harm the

01:37:37.020 people, you want to kill people.

01:37:38.160 You don't care about anybody, you don't care about children.

01:37:42.360 When it comes to school vouchers, you don't care about children, you don't care about them

01:37:46.920 having education, you know, you want to cut welfare, you don't care about people.

01:37:51.740 They're all there, care and harm.

01:37:54.200 When it comes to things like, let's take moms at home, what do we argue?

01:37:59.440 We argue moms because that's a sacred job.

01:38:04.040 We're arguing sanctity.

01:38:05.420 We look at motherhood as a sacred job, a sacred responsibility with your child, and the children

01:38:13.740 is a, that's a sacred duty to us as parents.

01:38:17.020 That's not what they're arguing.

01:38:18.480 They're arguing oppression.

01:38:20.440 You are oppressing the woman by making her stay at home.

01:38:24.380 And they mean that as much as we mean it's sacred.

01:38:30.800 But they don't relate to sacred responsibilities, and I'm speaking generally, and we don't relate

01:38:38.100 to oppression, speaking generally.

01:38:41.840 We don't relate to that.

01:38:43.480 So we're using different languages.

01:38:45.080 It's like going to Mexico and speaking French.

01:38:47.040 So what we have to do is we have to move, for instance, under sanctity and disgust.

01:38:55.020 Have you ever noticed how disgusting the left can get in things?

01:38:59.180 Like there's nothing too vile.

01:39:01.500 Occupy Wall Street.

01:39:03.280 There's a protest.

01:39:04.440 We can't relate to them because they're crapping on cars and smearing feces on things.

01:39:09.900 There's no disgust that is too low for them because they don't have the sanctity bar.

01:39:20.040 We talk about sex, marriage, and God.

01:39:22.800 We're up at sanctity, but they bring the sex, marriage, and God down to oppression.

01:39:30.880 That's why we're not able to understand each other.

01:39:34.500 We literally are speaking two different languages.

01:39:37.260 And somebody has to master the second language.

01:39:44.580 And I am asking you to help us and let us help you master a second language and begin to speak a different language.

01:39:57.500 Because if there's enough of us doing it, we can stop humanity from going over the cliff.

01:40:03.240 And we're never going to win with just a great argument because we're not speaking the same language.

01:40:11.980 Back in just a second.

01:40:15.240 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:40:17.700 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:40:25.820 Wow.

01:40:26.840 The, uh, not yet.

01:40:28.200 The, uh, the judge in the Bill Cosby trial has ordered them back to deliberations.

01:40:33.560 They are deadlocked.

01:40:36.380 Wow.

01:40:36.860 I figured it's been four days.

01:40:39.540 Just let the man go home.

01:40:41.500 Huh?

01:40:41.880 Just let the man go home.

01:40:43.720 What are you talking about, let the man go home?

01:40:46.260 He's potentially a racist.

01:40:48.400 You don't let him go home because you'd like to show 30 years ago.

01:40:51.840 I don't know.

01:40:52.260 I like pudding.

01:40:53.500 Jeffy does like pudding.

01:40:54.540 I do like pudding.

01:40:55.240 Evan Jell will put it home.

01:40:56.160 It's, uh, I mean, if he's acquitted, holy cow, what a turn of events that one is.

01:41:03.620 Well, I mean, I don't know.

01:41:04.960 It seems like we, that they really wanted to convict him because they believe he's guilty.

01:41:13.420 So, they, they were, uh, aggressive prosecute.

01:41:17.680 They used an aggressive prosecution tactic.

01:41:20.560 They lied a lot.

01:41:21.280 Not even a lie, but like they bent, you know, there were a lot of, you know, statute of limitations.

01:41:25.380 And, you know, think about this.

01:41:26.180 The reason we know about this is because a sealed deposition was leaked and then they decided to use it anyway against him.

01:41:34.340 Yeah.

01:41:34.600 Now, like that is highly questionable of whether that should actually happen.

01:41:39.080 If you have a sealed deposition, it's supposed to be sealed.

01:41:41.400 Somehow it got leaked and got to the media and then they're like, wow, now the media knows about it.

01:41:45.020 Like, of course we can use it.

01:41:46.400 I mean, there have been some questionable lines here.

01:41:49.080 Of course, if he's a rapist, you want him behind bars.

01:41:52.620 And, uh, you know, but, you know, we do have a process here and we've got to follow it.

01:41:55.780 So, I don't know.

01:41:56.340 I'm going to go either way.

01:41:57.400 If he goes, maybe he can go to the golf courses and look for the rapist.

01:42:01.140 The real rapist?

01:42:02.600 And, uh, Nicole Brown's a killer.

01:42:05.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:42:07.880 Mercury.

01:42:11.400 And, uh, I'd love you.

01:42:15.400 It's the Glenn Beck Nimick.

01:42:18.780 We will see you next week, guys.

01:42:21.380 Bye-bye.

01:42:23.080 Bye-bye.

01:42:23.420 Bye-bye.

01:42:24.980 Bye-bye.

01:42:26.500 Bye-bye.
