The Glenn Beck Program - 6⧸29⧸17 - President Trump tweeted what？？？

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

00:00:08.500 Hello, America. Good morning and welcome from Los Angeles.

00:00:13.920 Let's see, we've got a few things going on.

00:00:15.780 The Redskins have won their trademark case.

00:00:18.860 Newsweek is reporting that Democrats want a socialist to lead their party more than a capitalist.

00:00:24.940 Newsweek's been pushing this for quite some time, haven't they?

00:00:27.340 Wasn't a Newsweek that said, we're all socialists now, after Obama?

00:00:32.240 Now we apparently are, well, at least from one party.

00:00:36.920 There's a really tragic story of a baby in the United Kingdom, sentenced to die by a court.

00:00:45.600 This is a remarkable, remarkable story about what happens when the Western world starts to go dark.

00:00:58.500 Also, John McEnroe, the controversy continues, except it was settled in 2013.

00:01:06.020 We begin there, right now.

00:01:07.580 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

00:01:29.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:37.740 Hello, America, and welcome to the program.

00:01:40.760 Glad you are joining us.

00:01:43.460 We're in Los Angeles this week.

00:01:45.480 Had a very interesting dinner with people last night from all walks of life.

00:01:53.020 Some really big entrepreneurs and Silicon Valley people, and we talked about the future.

00:02:01.580 And I want to report to you today that there is a really interesting thing happening.

00:02:08.700 And what it is, is people have changed.

00:02:13.220 They're no longer talking about, how do I put this, they're more concerned than ever when it comes to what exactly is happening to our country.

00:02:32.660 They are more concerned than ever about, we're going to rip each other apart.

00:02:37.860 This is the first time I've heard this from leaders in Silicon Valley and in entertainment, and I thought it was a really important move and shift in their thinking.

00:02:54.460 And I heard from more than one person that they are very concerned about the hatred and the vitriol, and they are concerned about the hatred and vitriol that is coming from the left.

00:03:13.020 That I found really, truly remarkable.

00:03:17.340 And we'll probably talk a little bit about that later on in the program.

00:03:21.400 Let's start with John McEnroe.

00:03:22.940 John McEnroe caused a huge controversy.

00:03:27.560 I mean, this is this guy's whole life.

00:03:30.500 He said that Serena Williams, the best women's player in the world, would rank about 700 on the men's tour.

00:03:39.620 Now, the problem with this is, didn't we have this same debate with Billie Jean King?

00:03:46.420 And who was the guy who played against Billie Jean King when we were kids?

00:03:49.300 Bobby Riggs.

00:03:50.280 Yeah, Bobby Riggs.

00:03:51.000 Yeah, he was 55 years old at the time.

00:03:53.680 Yeah.

00:03:54.280 And so this was the same thing about, you know, women are just as good as men, blah, blah, blah.

00:04:01.560 Well, I'm sorry, but the muscle mass alone is completely different with men.

00:04:09.060 They just have more power than women.

00:04:11.420 It's why, you know, there are no women boxers that are going against men.

00:04:19.540 You know, you're not going to put Mike Tyson in the ring with the strongest woman in the world because Mike will knock her out.

00:04:27.540 And John McEnroe, he doesn't need anybody to run to his defense other than the woman who is now playing the victim, Serena Williams.

00:04:40.940 Listen to what she said on Letterman about herself and Andy Murray.

00:04:48.320 Well, actually, it's funny because Andy Murray, he was been joking about myself and him playing a match.

00:04:55.460 And I'm like, Andy, seriously, like, are you kidding me?

00:04:58.720 Because for me, tennis and men's tennis and women's tennis are completely almost two separate sports.

00:05:03.660 So I'm like, if I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five to six minutes, maybe ten minutes.

00:05:10.960 Because, no, it's true, it's a completely different sport.

00:05:16.720 The men are a lot faster and they serve harder, they hit harder.

00:05:21.820 It's just a different game.

00:05:22.960 And I love to play women's tennis tonight.

00:05:25.680 I only want to play girls because I don't want to be embarrassed.

00:05:28.240 I would not do the tour.

00:05:29.840 I wouldn't do Billie Jean any justice.

00:05:31.700 So Andy, stop it.

00:05:33.120 Oh, my goodness.

00:05:34.300 How could you say that?

00:05:36.160 And how can you act like the victim when you said this on national television?

00:05:40.020 Yeah, it is rare that she's acting like the victim.

00:05:42.400 Yeah.

00:05:43.340 First of all, just to add another little element to this, Glenn, that you may not know.

00:05:49.620 Serena Williams and her sister Venus, back in 1998, claimed that they could beat any man who wasn't in the top 200 in the world.

00:05:57.700 So the man who was ranked 203rd in the world challenged him.

00:06:02.480 And they played.

00:06:05.060 And he played golf that morning.

00:06:08.100 And then while drinking a beer between games and smoking cigarettes on the court, he beat Serena 6-1 and he beat Venus 6-2.

00:06:18.560 So, I mean, it was settled with them almost 20 years ago.

00:06:22.420 And then in 2013, she said that to David Letterman.

00:06:27.900 I love that.

00:06:29.100 That's not 700, Pat.

00:06:30.760 No, that's true.

00:06:31.800 It's 203.

00:06:32.700 So, let me ask you this.

00:06:35.360 Why would McEnroe, I mean, McEnroe loves controversy.

00:06:40.340 Why is McEnroe even bringing this up?

00:06:42.920 You know why he's bringing it up?

00:06:43.820 And this is the part that everyone's missing in the story.

00:06:46.960 He's bringing it up because he was being a wuss and bailing out of the actual point.

00:06:52.540 He was trying so hard to compliment Serena.

00:06:55.800 And John McEnroe, knowing enough a lot, obviously, about tennis, being a commentator and a long-time player, knows that her being 700th in the world is ridiculous.

00:07:05.480 He's actually going and saying...

00:07:07.340 He's giving her the benefit of the doubt.

00:07:08.460 The benefit of the doubt.

00:07:09.380 He said she's the best female player of all time.

00:07:11.420 He said she might be the greatest athlete, comparatively, of all time because she has dominated her sport so incredibly.

00:07:16.980 But in reality, the people who are 1,000th in the world would also beat Serena Williams easily.

00:07:23.920 And it's not even a knock on Serena Williams.

00:07:26.480 It would be an incredible accomplishment that she'd be able to hang with these guys.

00:07:29.160 We're talking about players that have dominated entire countries that are ranked 700th and 1,000th in the world.

00:07:37.100 She is a great tennis player and probably the best female player of all time, though you could argue that.

00:07:44.000 But when it comes to playing against men, it's just there's not a competition there.

00:07:48.520 And we're supposed to pretend, though, now.

00:07:50.860 We're supposed to pretend that they're exactly the same, even physically.

00:07:53.980 That they have the same abilities and the same structure and the same makeup and they can compete on an equal basis on every single playing field.

00:08:08.100 And it's just not true.

00:08:09.220 And we all know it's not true.

00:08:10.900 So why do we try to play this game?

00:08:12.540 Right. And I thought the most important thing as far as our audience and conversation is to watch the commentators.

00:08:20.600 It's the same thing we see in the media.

00:08:23.760 It's the same.

00:08:24.300 Like, you know, I was watching a show on ESPN where they were talking about this.

00:08:27.620 And, you know, the only person I saw on ESPN all day who had the guts to even talk about this honestly was Will Cain, who, you know, used to work here.

00:08:36.160 Yeah. But all these commentators are going into these these points that they know aren't true.

00:08:42.760 And they're trying so hard to not get fired by ESPN, who fires everyone anytime they say anything mildly controversial.

00:08:50.320 And they were saying things like this.

00:08:52.100 And Serena Williams kind of made this point here jokingly.

00:08:55.800 But they all said, oh, come on, you can't compare these two men's women's tennis is a completely different sport.

00:09:01.880 No, it's not.

00:09:03.200 It is not.

00:09:04.060 It is tennis.

00:09:04.900 They play it differently because men are capable of more things.

00:09:08.980 They hit the ball harder.

00:09:10.060 They are faster, as Serena pointed out herself.

00:09:12.720 It is the same sport.

00:09:14.380 The only reason that women's tennis exists is because women can't play as well as men.

00:09:19.920 Period.

00:09:20.460 That's why all women's sports exist.

00:09:22.040 That's why there's a women's basketball league.

00:09:24.360 Exactly.

00:09:25.300 It's the same sport.

00:09:26.540 If you wanted them all to compete against each other because they were capable of doing the same things,

00:09:30.120 you just have tennis because it's the same thing.

00:09:33.020 They're hitting it the same way.

00:09:34.200 And it goes back to what you were talking about yesterday, Glenn.

00:09:37.280 How many genders are there?

00:09:38.640 All these basic questions that we all know the answers to and we all used to admit to ourselves.

00:09:44.200 Now we have to deny.

00:09:45.300 Wow.

00:09:45.840 Wow.

00:09:46.240 Wow.

00:09:46.480 Wow.

00:09:48.620 Listen to the oppression.

00:09:51.140 Seriously.

00:09:51.980 I'm dead serious.

00:09:52.860 Listen to the oppression that's spilling right out of Sue's mouth.

00:09:56.740 I was quoting you.

00:09:58.340 And by the way, how many genders are there?

00:10:00.500 I don't know.

00:10:01.040 Ask tennis that has men's tennis and women's tennis.

00:10:04.180 They seem to understand there are two.

00:10:06.520 Why don't they have 27 or 96 different divisions?

00:10:10.300 They're working on Xi tennis right now.

00:10:11.580 Xi tennis is coming?

00:10:12.560 Yes.

00:10:12.980 Xi tennis is coming.

00:10:14.300 Xi is coming.

00:10:15.660 Oh, my gosh.

00:10:16.620 Is that only being played by the president of China?

00:10:21.080 No.

00:10:22.060 It's a different kind of Xi.

00:10:24.420 Oh, the gender Xi.

00:10:26.260 Yes.

00:10:26.540 The gender Xi.

00:10:28.100 I mean, Pat, you brought this up because there's a movie coming out with Steve Carell in it as Bobby Riggs,

00:10:32.440 which looks amazing, partially because they admit what actually happened,

00:10:37.260 which was Riggs took it as a giant joke.

00:10:39.820 He was trolling people like Andy Kaufman did.

00:10:42.740 He wanted to be the villain.

00:10:44.140 He liked it.

00:10:44.760 He thought it was funny as a 55-year-old to come in and play.

00:10:47.560 Plus, it brought everybody a lot of money.

00:10:49.720 It created an aura around tennis.

00:10:52.640 People got interested in tennis.

00:10:54.360 It was a really good thing in the early 70s.

00:10:56.160 Wasn't Philadelphia Freedom written about that?

00:10:58.160 Yeah, it was written about Billie Jean King, not necessarily the match with Bobby Riggs.

00:11:02.720 But Elton John was a big Billie Jean King fan.

00:11:06.040 But people forget that a few months before he lost to Billie Jean King,

00:11:11.280 he had beaten the number one women's tennis player in the world, and he beat her severely.

00:11:16.720 I mean, he crushed her.

00:11:18.760 And she is the person who has the most Grand Slam wins of all time, Margaret Court.

00:11:23.240 And he beat her, I think, 6-2, 6-1.

00:11:25.040 It wasn't even a match.

00:11:28.400 And we all just remember the second time where he lost, didn't train,

00:11:32.160 was completely out of shape, took it at 55 years old.

00:11:36.120 And he wasn't even the best men's player when he was playing.

00:11:38.280 Right.

00:11:38.920 I mean, it's so ridiculous.

00:11:42.160 So all the people that are wanting to abolish sex-segregated sports entirely

00:11:46.900 so women can compete against elite male athletes and get the recognition they deserve,

00:11:52.960 I say yes.

00:11:53.680 Yeah, I fully support it.

00:11:54.940 Fully support it.

00:11:55.760 I say absolutely yes.

00:11:57.380 I want to see them on the football field.

00:11:59.420 I want to see them on the baseball field.

00:12:02.020 I want to see them absolutely everywhere.

00:12:04.440 Let's just end this nonsense.

00:12:07.480 There is no separation between men and women because we're all exactly the same.

00:12:14.220 Go for it.

00:12:14.760 And if you can't be honest about, like, a conversation like this about Serena Williams

00:12:18.780 and admit that she, while a great player and incredibly skilled,

00:12:23.120 would not be able to compete in the men's division,

00:12:25.100 if you can't admit that, why aren't you supporting these divisions being combined?

00:12:29.920 What the heck is wrong with you?

00:12:31.220 If you think she could beat all these men, why is she playing only women?

00:12:35.540 It's ridiculous.

00:12:36.480 They should all be together and let them all compete fairly.

00:12:39.120 There should be no WNBA.

00:12:40.920 There should be no women's tennis.

00:12:42.480 No women's gymnastics.

00:12:43.720 Maybe the women would win all of the, I could, I could,

00:12:46.040 you could make a serious argument that women are more flexible

00:12:48.420 and can do things that men can't do in gymnastics.

00:12:51.160 I don't know.

00:12:51.840 Maybe they would dominate.

00:12:52.820 Maybe they would dominate synchronized swimming.

00:12:54.120 Maybe they would dominate ice skating.

00:12:56.020 There's a lot of things that, that it bear, you know, that might happen.

00:12:59.780 But then let it happen.

00:13:00.760 If you believe it, let it happen.

00:13:02.360 I mean, I apologize to this audience for the oppression that is happening right here.

00:13:09.980 Yesterday, you were so soft-spoken and understanding.

00:13:12.540 And then look at this.

00:13:13.040 We're here for 18 minutes and look at what's happening.

00:13:14.860 I'm very understanding right now.

00:13:16.440 I'm understanding what a sexist oppressor.

00:13:19.320 What a white male oppressor.

00:13:21.780 Don't forget privilege.

00:13:23.420 Here's the one thing that I've really come to understand, Stu,

00:13:27.460 is you can't even discuss things.

00:13:30.660 I mean, as a white male, you don't have any experience

00:13:34.500 except the experience of an oppressor.

00:13:37.520 Right.

00:13:38.440 I don't think that that's accurate, actually.

00:13:40.740 I'm very...

00:13:42.040 Well, of course, yes.

00:13:43.260 Here's our sponsor.

00:13:44.060 Here's our sponsor this half hour.

00:13:45.860 It is My Patriot Supply.

00:13:48.220 As the world focuses on its nuclear ambitions,

00:13:51.480 North Korea deploys another weapon.

00:13:54.520 Drones.

00:13:55.800 Yay!

00:13:56.120 As Brad Thor pointed out yesterday or the day before

00:14:03.880 when he was on the program,

00:14:05.560 South Korea has now found a small sky blue unmanned plane

00:14:12.940 perched nose up against a tree in a remote forest.

00:14:17.540 This found now in South Korea is a North Korean drone.

00:14:23.400 That's bad enough.

00:14:26.140 But they also send satellites up in space.

00:14:30.200 Brad said, you know, all you have to do is put a small nuke,

00:14:33.540 which is what they are trying to do now and have made.

00:14:37.440 You just put that in a satellite.

00:14:39.140 As soon as it gets over the United States,

00:14:40.960 one small nuke at that atmosphere would...

00:14:45.400 or that height in the atmosphere would knock all of our electricity out

00:14:52.380 and fry all of the circuits in America.

00:14:56.460 So that's good news.

00:14:57.920 But don't worry.

00:14:59.020 Everything is good.

00:15:00.520 My Patriot Supply has 102 servings of survival food.

00:15:04.280 It is breakfast, lunch, dinner,

00:15:06.380 servings that are less than a dollar per serving.

00:15:31.140 Get started now.

00:15:34.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:42.100 Mercury.

00:15:45.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:50.640 Welcome to the program.

00:15:52.060 So glad that you're here today.

00:15:53.800 It is Thursday.

00:15:56.320 I want to thank our people here in Los Angeles

00:15:59.140 who are working hard to keep us up.

00:16:01.300 Nathan is working hard all week here in our studios in Los Angeles,

00:16:06.100 and we sure appreciate it.

00:16:07.400 Newsweek Magazine is doing a story now about how the Democrats

00:16:12.260 want a socialist to lead their party more than a capitalist.

00:16:17.680 This is amazing.

00:16:20.840 I will tell you that I had dinner last night with a bunch of people

00:16:24.180 who are, you know, very liberal California, Silicon Valley kind of people.

00:16:31.460 Some of them were libertarians, but the people that I talked to last night

00:16:37.820 liked Bernie Sanders for the one reason that he at least was honest,

00:16:44.900 for the same reason that I felt that Bernie Sanders was a good candidate

00:16:50.340 for the Democrats, at least the Democrats would have to face,

00:16:53.680 are we socialist or not?

00:16:56.120 However, many of the people I talked to last night were afraid of the extreme

00:17:01.980 less and afraid of the people that the Democratic Party were really turning to

00:17:11.160 and turning into.

00:17:12.300 And they were hoping for a Macron kind of solution,

00:17:18.460 that somebody from the middle would show up.

00:17:22.240 As I was talking to them, I thought,

00:17:27.400 who do you have that's in the middle?

00:17:31.720 I mean, your party has opened up this can of worms

00:17:36.360 that has let all of these Marxists in,

00:17:39.680 and your universities are teaching nothing but Marxism

00:17:43.960 and redistribution of wealth.

00:17:46.280 Who do you think you're going to get?

00:17:51.300 It's really bizarre the position that we are in

00:17:55.820 on both sides in this country.

00:17:58.800 Did you actually ask them that?

00:18:00.440 Did you ask them that, or were you just thinking that?

00:18:03.200 What did you say?

00:18:03.700 Did you ask them, or were you just thinking that to yourself?

00:18:08.120 Like, who are you going to, is there anybody?

00:18:10.160 I think I asked the room that.

00:18:15.300 I don't think I got it.

00:18:16.480 Michelle, did I ask that?

00:18:18.640 Matthew, I did?

00:18:20.140 Yeah, and I don't think I got anything but a general answer.

00:18:23.680 They were, one guy in particular who was the leader of this group,

00:18:30.600 and it invited everybody for dinner.

00:18:35.960 He was very clear that he was, he's a Jewish guy,

00:18:41.160 and he said, you know, I am afraid of the ultra-right, he said,

00:18:45.780 but history shows that it's the uber-left that usually rounds the Jews up.

00:18:52.080 And that was shocking coming from him, really shocking.

00:18:57.580 They've changed.

00:18:58.700 I met them about a year ago, not all of these people,

00:19:01.280 but some of these people about a year ago,

00:19:04.460 and they have really, truly changed, really changed.

00:19:08.780 They're very concerned about the loss of news credibility

00:19:14.060 and wanted to know, you know, how can we solve that?

00:19:20.140 Because, you know, our side is listening to one set of news,

00:19:24.360 you know, the other side's listening to another set of news,

00:19:26.820 and we're not agreeing on anything,

00:19:28.720 and we're losing the faith in every institution.

00:19:33.740 And I will say that it was hard not to gloat to be able to say,

00:19:39.480 yeah, these are the things I talked about when I was on Fox.

00:19:44.900 But I didn't.

00:19:46.580 I was polite.

00:19:49.720 Back in just a second, we have Illinois,

00:19:52.300 now with a $6 billion budget hole.

00:19:57.340 We have an incredible story about a baby that has been condemned to death,

00:20:02.880 sentenced to death, a baby in Europe.

00:20:05.700 And a bizarre story about Jason Chaffetz seeking now money for congressional housing.

00:20:12.960 Wasn't he the guy who slept on his couch the whole time?

00:20:18.400 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:21.960 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:29.280 Good morning, America.

00:20:30.680 It is the Flap Jackson Radio Show this morning,

00:20:32.960 and we've got the number one hit with a mullet.

00:20:37.220 It is from little Lizzie Warren in Massachusetts.

00:20:42.500 People's gotta die.

00:20:44.580 These cuts are blood money.

00:20:47.460 People will die.

00:20:49.380 Let's be very clear.

00:20:50.840 Senate Republicans are paying for tax cuts for the wealthy with American lives.

00:20:58.060 People need kidneys.

00:20:59.740 It's sad but decreed.

00:21:00.800 Yet the senator's hoarding one more than she needs.

00:21:03.600 I offer this bill, and I hope you'll vote aye.

00:21:06.180 Unless, of course, you just want people to die.

00:21:08.920 Traffic deaths have many crying with fear.

00:21:11.260 Over 30,000 people are dying each year.

00:21:13.820 This modest change I propose must be applied.

00:21:16.640 Unless, of course, you just want people to die.

00:21:19.420 Alcohol deaths are exceeding comparisons.

00:21:22.020 Black people, white people, Native Americans.

00:21:24.120 We need to ban alcohol.

00:21:25.360 It can't be denied.

00:21:27.060 Unless, of course, you just want people to die.

00:21:29.800 Murders are bad.

00:21:31.080 They have no defenders.

00:21:32.120 Yet many are committed by repeat offenders.

00:21:34.620 I say lifetime in prison.

00:21:36.240 Whatever the crime.

00:21:37.540 Unless, of course, you just want people to die.

00:21:40.040 Well, I don't have a bill or a groan to detail.

00:21:42.560 I just need a short clip from my donor email.

00:21:45.000 Tim, there's blood on your hands.

00:21:46.500 You want people to die.

00:21:47.980 That good?

00:21:48.500 Cool.

00:21:48.860 Tim, dinner at five?

00:21:50.240 Yeah.

00:21:50.420 The car deaths I mentioned are terrible stuff.

00:21:52.960 Doesn't seem one seat belt is ever enough.

00:21:55.440 You must vote for my act so that fewer will cry.

00:21:58.400 Unless, of course, you just want people to die.

00:22:01.040 The carbs, the container, we cannot ignore.

00:22:03.340 Whipped cream's killing more people than ever before.

00:22:05.980 This bill would be passed and be ratified.

00:22:08.560 If those people there didn't want people to die.

00:22:11.220 Why not weigh all the costs, the effects, the results?

00:22:14.080 Empathize with each other as if we were adults.

00:22:16.360 Use our brains to craft arguments, not vilify.

00:22:18.860 See that freedom's a traitor.

00:22:20.280 You want people to die.

00:22:22.020 That is good.

00:22:27.140 Crossing the street is incredibly tough.

00:22:29.420 People look left and right, but rarely look up.

00:22:35.540 It's one of my favorites.

00:22:36.560 You have to see the visuals, too, to that.

00:22:38.200 It's so good.

00:22:39.940 Well, you know, here's the problem.

00:22:41.580 Nobody is serious about solving this.

00:22:47.380 Nobody's serious.

00:22:48.980 You know, that's been the number one question I've had meeting after meeting after meeting with people.

00:22:54.240 And, you know, just before I'm getting ready to leave, somebody at the table will say, OK, we have to ask you about health care.

00:23:05.420 I'll say, really?

00:23:07.580 You want to know about what I feel about health care?

00:23:09.980 And, yeah, I mean, what is happening?

00:23:17.140 Well, there's a 140% increase in people's premiums.

00:23:25.280 And so they have to pay 140% more than they did.

00:23:32.980 Now, we had problems before Obamacare.

00:23:38.680 Yes, we did.

00:23:40.060 Nobody was dying on the streets because that goes against everything that we believe as Americans.

00:23:47.140 All of us are, you know, emergency rooms were overflowing.

00:23:53.580 But they were generally overflowing with people, mainly, many of them, illegal immigrants.

00:24:02.020 And in cities like Los Angeles, it was worse than cities in the middle of the country.

00:24:07.880 But it wasn't right.

00:24:09.440 And it was we were having a real problem.

00:24:11.500 Now, if you really want to take care of people, because I have a daughter who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, and I know what her medicine costs every month, and there's no way she could ever afford it if she wasn't working and had good health care.

00:24:30.560 So I understand that, and I know what it's like to lose your health care and then try to get health care if you have anybody in the family with a pre-existing conditions.

00:24:42.360 You will work for the devil to be able to keep your health care.

00:24:49.000 Literally, Pat, you and I have worked for somebody that I think there's a good case could be made.

00:24:55.240 He was the devil.

00:24:56.360 Would you agree?

00:24:57.760 Yes.

00:24:58.600 Yes.

00:24:59.080 So, and, you know, when you're in that situation and you must have your health care, you'll stay and you'll just take abuse and you'll do it for your kids or for your wife or for yourself because you can't afford to lose it.

00:25:17.160 Well, I understand that.

00:25:18.300 You want to take care of that?

00:25:19.880 Good.

00:25:20.720 Let's have that conversation.

00:25:23.160 Let's have the conversation of where are people dying on the streets?

00:25:27.940 They're not.

00:25:30.020 Where are people suffering?

00:25:32.100 They are.

00:25:33.900 Let's look at that.

00:25:35.620 Okay.

00:25:36.140 Let's solve that issue.

00:25:39.160 And at the same time, we must solve the issue of a 140% increase in premiums because now everybody's health insurance sucks.

00:25:52.180 You just want people to die, don't you?

00:25:56.680 Unbelievable.

00:25:57.260 Can I say, Stu, maybe a few people, yes.

00:26:02.220 Yes.

00:26:02.580 Maybe just a few people.

00:26:04.360 Yes.

00:26:04.660 Oh, my gosh.

00:26:05.380 Unless that's about Jeffy.

00:26:06.740 That's controversial.

00:26:07.540 Hang on just a second.

00:26:08.620 No, no, no.

00:26:09.660 I want to come out of the closet.

00:26:13.080 I'm going to come out of the closet.

00:26:14.080 I'm going to do it right now.

00:26:15.160 Now, I believe in Darwin's natural selection.

00:26:21.000 And if you are so damn stupid that you need the sign or the little sticker on the lawnmower, do not use on roof.

00:26:30.520 You probably should be eaten by the lawnmower.

00:26:34.400 I'm just saying.

00:26:35.880 I'm just saying.

00:26:37.700 You're arguing for natural selection, I believe.

00:26:40.100 I am arguing for natural selection.

00:26:42.580 I am not arguing for not taking care of people who show up at the hospital because it goes against all of our values.

00:26:51.760 And what's happening here is the political class, they know what they're doing.

00:27:00.380 Elizabeth Warren, if she really cared, if she really truly cared, she would be making a compelling case.

00:27:08.660 She would not be coming out and saying this is blood money.

00:27:12.540 That's ridiculous that this is blood money.

00:27:15.020 Right.

00:27:15.180 And we really this isn't even a conversation about health care.

00:27:17.820 It never has been.

00:27:18.680 It's a conversation about wealth care.

00:27:20.620 The idea here is if you are we cover everyone who is elderly.

00:27:24.880 We cover people who are, you know, many programs are set up for children.

00:27:29.780 There are a million programs set up for poor people to get health care.

00:27:33.400 The issue is if you have a health problem and you have a nice house, should you lose that house?

00:27:38.460 Should you have a protection of the things you've built up in your wealth over your life?

00:27:42.360 And I think there's an argument there to be made.

00:27:44.440 Obviously, people, most people who are able to have some sort of ability to have assets want those things to be protected.

00:27:52.820 But I mean, you know, the vast majority of the people who are rich enough, quote unquote, and I mean that globally because we all are rich globally.

00:27:59.540 If you're rich enough to be able to have a nice house in the United States of America, you should probably be taking care of your own insurance.

00:28:06.800 That is it's a it's a tough thing to talk about.

00:28:09.380 But I mean, in reality, we have every single person gets coverage at at the hospital, first of all, which is guaranteed to everyone, whether they can pay or not.

00:28:18.520 And secondarily, coverage over things, if you are don't have the ability to pay, there are programs set up.

00:28:24.240 The question is, should you be able to get the insurance and keep all of your stuff, too, which is in an essence, you're just insuring the wealth.

00:28:32.960 Oh, my gosh.

00:28:34.220 Oh, geez.

00:28:34.600 Not again.

00:28:35.000 Have I crossed another line already?

00:28:36.820 You have.

00:28:37.680 Have you heard the oppression here from the white male?

00:28:40.740 I just well, he just wants people to die.

00:28:42.420 He just wants people to die.

00:28:44.220 He wants thousands and thousands of people.

00:28:45.820 How are people going to be able to be human?

00:28:51.020 Really?

00:28:51.540 Honestly, let's be frank.

00:28:52.960 How can you possibly be human without a flat screen TV?

00:28:56.200 Well, you can't.

00:28:57.180 You can't.

00:28:57.760 There's no way.

00:28:58.520 Really?

00:28:58.840 You're keeping.

00:28:59.280 Yeah, you're keeping.

00:29:00.360 You know that, Stu.

00:29:01.380 Don't.

00:29:01.700 Don't.

00:29:01.960 You're keeping people surprised.

00:29:04.700 You're keep.

00:29:05.460 You're suppressing them and oppressing them.

00:29:08.040 And it's it's sad.

00:29:09.920 It really is, Stu.

00:29:11.220 Is it really?

00:29:12.000 You need to go home and really reflect.

00:29:14.700 Re-evaluate.

00:29:15.380 I will say in my defense, I do support Senator Max Hyperbole's proposal for a four mile an hour speed limit to protect people, because I do not want people to die.

00:29:26.720 As we learn from reason.

00:29:27.980 I mean, if we could just take these basic steps, ban alcohol, speed limit four miles an hour, have everyone wear two seatbelts and two helmets when driving a car.

00:29:36.620 These are basic steps, common sense solutions that we can kind of come to together and I think save people's lives.

00:29:42.120 Well, I think Warren Buffett said said it best when he said the rich in America just have too much money, you know, and this this this coming from the world's second richest man.

00:29:56.280 I think it I think it means a lot more coming from him.

00:30:00.480 Well, to him, it's only Bill Gates he's talking about.

00:30:02.580 Right.

00:30:02.820 And he's he's frustrated.

00:30:04.820 He has more.

00:30:05.380 Or is it the guy in Mexico?

00:30:06.540 Is it Carlos Slim?

00:30:07.340 Number two.

00:30:07.860 Number one.

00:30:08.280 Now it's pretty close with Jeff Bezos, too.

00:30:10.220 Yeah.

00:30:10.420 Bezos is getting up.

00:30:11.260 He's up to 80 billion.

00:30:12.560 I mean, soon Buffett could be fourth or fifth.

00:30:14.220 And then what kind of fairness would we have?

00:30:15.960 None.

00:30:16.200 Right.

00:30:16.360 He wants to make sure that we learn our our lesson on fairness.

00:30:22.320 You know, I don't know why we as a nation, why we're focusing on all of our problems, why we are focusing on all of the things that are are going wrong.

00:30:34.860 Here we are at the edge of the the true technological revolution.

00:30:42.360 This is this is is going to take us if we do it right and we don't tear each other apart.

00:30:51.320 What is on the horizon could take us into a world to where most people don't have to work.

00:31:00.000 Where we don't we we our life will not be recognizable and we will be able to explore and do things we never, ever thought possible.

00:31:11.200 The the the difference between eighteen hundred and nineteen hundred, the difference.

00:31:17.980 Not I don't even think that the difference between eighteen hundred and probably nineteen fifty is coming our way in the next five to eight years.

00:31:27.220 And all we're doing is talking about old problems created by an old system.

00:31:34.080 Did you see what Elon Musk is doing now, drilling underneath the city of Los Angeles, making tunnels underneath Los Angeles?

00:31:42.860 He's he is he is the boring company.

00:31:47.360 Look it up.

00:31:48.220 He is transforming everything he touches.

00:31:52.360 Is there anybody who is in doubt that that that he's going to go to the moon or to the Mars, that he will put men on Mars?

00:32:02.600 And if it's not him, it will be somebody that comes from his company or was inspired by him.

00:32:09.000 I mean, we can accomplish anything right now.

00:32:14.700 I was sitting at this table with people who have who have freed people to communicate in ways never before thought possible to relate to people, to communicate with people, to to live in ways that nobody thought possible just 10 years ago.

00:32:37.300 And we wanted to talk about health care.

00:32:40.120 And last night, one of the guys, he was from Canada and he said, you know, the Canadian health care system and government has got to get involved.

00:32:50.500 And I I said, I can't believe that I'm sitting here at a table with you guys, with you guys.

00:32:56.660 And you're telling me every solution you guys are talking about, you're talking first about how do we get the government to to do X, Y or Z?

00:33:08.320 How do we get the government to start playing nicely so they can figure out X, Y or Z?

00:33:13.600 There was a libertarian at the table who said they were talking about gridlock and the libertarian said, I just want to remind everybody that that's what the Constitution was designed to do to slow people down from making crazy decisions.

00:33:29.460 It was designed to create gridlock so they couldn't do an awful lot.

00:33:36.040 And they, you know, they they didn't see the power, the intellectual and creative power that was just sitting at this table of about 20 leaders and some of them remarkable.

00:33:50.960 I mean, we, we, we all kind of signed a pack that nobody would say they had dinner with Glenn back.

00:33:55.760 Uh, but, uh, here's these 20 guys who are remarkable.

00:34:02.200 The titles that were at this table would blow you away.

00:34:06.960 What they've done in their life would blow you away.

00:34:11.960 And they don't have faith that they could create a better system.

00:34:17.680 You're telling me that the mines in Silicon Valley can't come up with a better way.

00:34:25.360 I use the example that I used yesterday.

00:34:28.560 LASIK surgery was $2,500 in 2013, $2,500, no insurance coverage.

00:34:38.580 So what happened to the people who were doing LASIK surgery?

00:34:42.540 They figured it out and the free market got LASIK surgery in four years, got it from $2,500 to $300.

00:34:54.460 If we just leave the free market truly alone, it will solve 90% of our problems.

00:35:02.460 But if you leave it truly alone, those people, like all of the rich men sitting at this table, no women?

00:35:12.760 Yes, there were several women there too.

00:35:15.180 All of those people that are worth some of them hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:35:22.320 They'd solve it and they'd also, tragically, become more rich and then would have to decide to give that money away.

00:35:33.920 And now this, when people walk into your home, what do you want them to feel?

00:35:39.200 That's how Tanya and I, we always start with our home.

00:35:41.560 We look at everything and we want our home to feel like a warm blanket.

00:35:46.740 We want people to come into the house and go, oh man, I could just curl up in this house forever and stay.

00:35:55.280 There are few details in your home that you can use to help set the mood.

00:36:01.480 And really, a lot of it has to do with the window treatments.

00:36:57.420 What's really interesting is Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin has just signed in House Bill 128 into law,

00:37:05.120 allowing the Kentucky public schools to teach courses on the Bible.

00:37:09.580 Not mandatory courses, but be able to teach it.

00:37:13.160 People are going crazy on both sides.

00:37:35.060 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:37:42.280 On Demand.

00:37:45.880 Hello, America.

00:37:47.260 Welcome to the program.

00:37:48.440 Glad that you are here.

00:37:49.880 We've got a great call from Pennsylvania from Carolyn, a 19-year-old millennial, who I want

00:37:57.740 you to hear what she has to say.

00:37:59.160 Also, how many people would give up alcohol to see Donald Trump impeached?

00:38:06.960 This is one of the most incredible things I have read and tells us everything we need

00:38:13.780 to know about the left and the right in some ways.

00:38:19.680 But you heard the headline, and most likely, that's all you heard.

00:38:25.600 When you read the full survey and see the results of everything, it's going to blow your mind.

00:38:35.180 Also, another tweet from Donald Trump this morning that I don't understand.

00:38:41.880 13 Reasons Why is a TV show about teen suicide.

00:38:48.240 And teens are gobbling this up because suicide is a real problem in America.

00:38:54.160 A family is now blaming that show for their child's suicide.

00:39:02.580 In fact, two teens have committed suicide, and families are blaming that TV show.

00:39:09.160 We'll get into that and so much more.

00:39:11.460 It's going to be a fascinating hour.

00:39:13.080 It begins right now.

00:39:14.280 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:39:35.980 America, I want to introduce you to Carolyn, as we meet for the very first time, calling

00:39:48.480 from Pennsylvania.

00:39:49.560 Hello, Carolyn.

00:39:51.260 Hi, Mr. Beck.

00:39:53.080 How are you?

00:39:53.880 You can call me Glenn.

00:39:55.280 You're 19 years old?

00:39:56.680 Okay.

00:39:57.460 I'm actually 18, sir.

00:39:59.020 I just graduated.

00:39:59.680 Wow, you are so polite.

00:40:02.600 Let me guess.

00:40:03.320 You were homeschooled?

00:40:06.180 Yes or no?

00:40:07.040 Actually, no.

00:40:07.960 No, sir.

00:40:08.600 I went to Catholic school.

00:40:10.960 Okay.

00:40:11.500 You grew up in a military family?

00:40:16.520 No, sir.

00:40:17.460 I grew up...

00:40:18.620 Wait, wait, wait.

00:40:19.120 That's near traditional.

00:40:20.500 Okay.

00:40:21.620 I'm just trying to guess.

00:40:22.680 You grew up in the South?

00:40:25.460 No, sir.

00:40:26.320 Western PA.

00:40:26.960 You're doing a good job of reading, a cold reading.

00:40:30.800 I've gone through everything that usually is tied directly to yes, sir, no, sir.

00:40:40.520 Where did you pick that up?

00:40:42.440 It's refreshing and wonderful.

00:40:45.920 I mean, I grew up with a father who was a small business owner who taught his sons and

00:40:50.860 daughters from a small age to go in for a strong handshake, look someone in the eye,

00:40:54.980 and say yes, sir, no, sir.

00:40:57.680 I love your dad.

00:41:00.820 He's been a very big fan of your show.

00:41:03.000 Oh, what does he do?

00:41:04.220 What's his business?

00:41:07.020 Well, for most of my life, my father owned a furniture store company, so he would sell

00:41:13.540 furniture to people in just the local area.

00:41:16.160 But after the crash in 08, you know, things, things got rough and he tried and tried again

00:41:22.900 to start something up, but he bit his tongue and just took, you know, just took kind of

00:41:27.500 a different, different path in life.

00:41:29.220 And what happened?

00:41:32.280 He's selling drugs now?

00:41:34.920 No.

00:41:35.840 He works for the state.

00:41:38.580 He works for Penn, well, we call it PennDOT, but he works for the state just as a foreman.

00:41:44.340 That must be killing him.

00:41:46.920 That must be killing him.

00:41:49.200 Yes, sir.

00:41:50.000 He's part of a union and I don't know, I kind of see it as a blessing because I now understand,

00:41:56.000 you know, not just the side of the entrepreneur, but the side of the union man.

00:42:01.560 And it's very humbling.

00:42:03.280 Carolyn, I want you to close your eyes right now and put your hand on the radio and we're

00:42:07.400 going to heal your father from his deep scars.

00:42:11.200 My gosh, I can't imagine what it would be like to, to join a union after a lifetime of

00:42:16.360 working for yourself, to join a union and then, and then PennDOT.

00:42:21.080 I used to live in Pennsylvania, so I know.

00:42:23.800 Yeah.

00:42:24.600 Yeah.

00:42:25.040 Yeah.

00:42:25.300 He's, he really is my, my role model because he lived, he always lived a life.

00:42:29.880 He always does live a life of integrity.

00:42:32.260 You know, it's not sort of like an Ayn Rand's book, uh, Fountainhead, you know, he'll take

00:42:37.420 whatever job necessary as long as he keeps his integrity.

00:42:42.600 Wow.

00:42:43.060 I could talk to you all day.

00:42:44.160 You make me feel good.

00:42:45.620 So Carolyn, how can we help you?

00:42:48.860 Um, you posed the question yesterday of how your life has changed since 2006, but, um,

00:42:55.380 I can kind of trace it back a little bit further.

00:42:57.480 I first started talking about politics when I was in kindergarten, um, excuse me, I came

00:43:03.700 home, I came home crying on the bus in kindergarten because, um, in 2004, no one discussed the Bush

00:43:11.080 versus Gore re-election with me.

00:43:12.940 And I was very, very much so into politics, even at that young age.

00:43:17.940 Um, and I actually started watching your show in about fourth grade.

00:43:21.920 Um, in fourth grade, I had received, yeah, I had received a B in, uh, I think it was my

00:43:29.320 reading class.

00:43:30.340 And so I wasn't allowed to watch TV for the rest of the school year.

00:43:33.760 So every night my dad would let me sneak in and watch, uh, Bill O'Reilly's show, which

00:43:39.540 really got me started.

00:43:40.500 And then after that, I would come home after school every day and sit and watch your show

00:43:45.660 at five o'clock.

00:43:46.460 Exactly.

00:43:47.420 Wow.

00:43:48.640 Carolyn, thank you so much.

00:43:50.460 So that has, that has damaged you and oppressed you?

00:43:55.400 No, no, sir.

00:43:56.820 Um, it's, it's definitely taught me the importance of principles.

00:44:00.980 You know, I know today in the political climate we live in, especially as a young student, it's

00:44:07.320 hard to, to be able to see right versus left, because it seems as though politics infiltrates

00:44:14.760 not just culture, but the classroom.

00:44:17.020 And what I've learned over time is that, yes, you know, people who are liberals can be friends

00:44:22.520 with conservatives.

00:44:23.180 The key is that you stand on principles and not rhetoric.

00:44:26.920 Um, I know after the very, very scary shooting last week of Capitol Hill, um, I texted a lot

00:44:36.280 of my, my more liberal friends, you know, supported Bernie Sanders voted for Clinton.

00:44:41.220 And I just said, Hey, I'm someone who stands on the principle of individuality.

00:44:46.460 And I know that just because one Bernie Sanders supporter did such a terrible act that does

00:44:52.900 not make all Bernie Sanders supporters, terrible people.

00:44:56.360 And I just wanted to remind them that.

00:44:58.120 And what was their response?

00:44:59.700 And that I loved them.

00:45:00.540 What was their response?

00:45:02.320 Um, a lot of them were just so, so grateful that I, I gave, I showed love and they said,

00:45:09.060 Carolyn, you've, you've taught me that not all Trump supporters are KKK members or not

00:45:14.380 all Trump supporters are Nazis because that, if you don't show love and reach out during

00:45:20.180 those easy moments, it'd be easy to let the status quo persist.

00:45:25.580 And, and I just wanted to be able to show, you know, just little acts of love.

00:45:29.200 And it does change, change people's minds rather quickly when you do that.

00:45:34.160 You know, it's funny.

00:45:35.140 Um, I was having dinner last night, uh, with some Silicon Valley and some, uh, some Hollywood,

00:45:41.560 uh, lefties.

00:45:43.780 And, uh, uh, as we were, we were talking, a couple of them, uh, sounded very much like

00:45:51.160 people that I, the one person in particular that I spoke yesterday to on the radio, a woman

00:45:56.800 called and, um, she was very animated and, and felt that, uh, I was, uh, you know, betraying

00:46:05.080 the cause by, by saying that we have to be, we have to change our language and we have

00:46:11.600 to be very aware of how we're talking because we can make an impact for the good as opposed

00:46:18.080 to just building up more walls.

00:46:20.600 And, uh, and, uh, most of the people that were at dinner with me last night, uh, they

00:46:27.060 felt the same way and they were looking for a way to start talking to people and, and not

00:46:32.760 necessarily about politics, just talking to people.

00:46:36.400 And, uh, one of the guys, uh, said something along the lines of, uh, you know, uh, we need

00:46:44.420 to fix things politically.

00:46:45.960 We need the government to, to, uh, fix all of these things.

00:46:50.740 And, uh, you know, the language is not going to break through.

00:46:56.200 And I have found, I mean, I, I, I said, I'm sitting with you guys.

00:47:02.760 Because I changed my language and I haven't changed a thing in my policy, um, and my principles,

00:47:09.560 but we're talking.

00:47:11.060 So how can you not say that it doesn't work?

00:47:14.140 It does.

00:47:15.240 I, I, I wholeheartedly agree with you, sir.

00:47:18.220 I know.

00:47:18.720 Um, I think it's very interesting that you're discussing, you know, the idea of care versus

00:47:22.780 harm, uh, liberty and oppression.

00:47:24.920 Because, um, last summer I was actually sitting in a lecture where we were discussing, you know,

00:47:30.860 political campaigning and the such.

00:47:32.880 And the, uh, speaker put up on the screen, this chart about how liberals use certain words

00:47:40.360 and they react to certain words versus conservatives.

00:47:42.660 And it was the same kind of idea of liberty, care, harm, justice.

00:47:47.020 And I just sat there and I thought, you know, that's, that's it.

00:47:50.060 That's the secret.

00:47:50.680 And so ever since then, I've been thankfully able to engage some of my liberal friends on

00:47:57.720 things such as, you know, Planned Parenthood and being pro-life and really some hot button

00:48:02.920 topics.

00:48:03.660 But if you go in and speak the language and you go in with genuine love and intellectual

00:48:09.900 curiosity, which most of my liberal friends are curious.

00:48:13.400 They want to know what a conservative believes, why we believe what we believe.

00:48:17.580 They don't want to just label everyone.

00:48:19.940 They do want to know.

00:48:21.600 Um, and if you go in from that approach, they are much more open and much more understanding.

00:48:28.240 They may not change their minds, but they want to understand the same way we should want

00:48:32.500 to understand.

00:48:33.460 And it's really amazing.

00:48:35.200 Um, uh, and I have example after example, after example of this, people don't know how

00:48:43.380 to be able to, uh, have that dialogue, but they want that dialogue.

00:48:49.340 And if you will model it, um, they will, they will fall into it.

00:48:55.000 And it's, uh, you know, the, one of the, um, uh, one of the guys that was there, uh, last

00:49:03.360 night said, you know, I read a book and he said, it totally changed my mind, totally changed

00:49:09.880 my mind.

00:49:10.380 And he said, it is the righteous mind by Jonathan height, which is the book that really

00:49:17.720 takes, uh, care and harm and Liberty and oppression and is teaching me has totally changed the way

00:49:25.120 I, I view things.

00:49:26.300 Uh, and you can, I, I spoke at a table with 20, uh, Silicon Valley, uh, liberals last night,

00:49:37.160 one libertarian, and we spoke about abortion and I talked about how they see oppression

00:49:45.940 of women and they all shook their heads.

00:49:48.400 And I said, we see sanctity and I could, you know, feel their eyes roll up.

00:49:53.180 And I said, and that's a word that you guys don't speak.

00:49:57.040 So let's just talk about harm to women.

00:50:00.800 And we had this conversation and it was, I don't know if anybody changed their mind or

00:50:06.220 anything, but at least it didn't devolve into where it usually devolves.

00:50:12.140 I mean, what, uh, one of the guys who was with me, he sat back from, you know, the table

00:50:17.140 and, uh, he said, I said, what did you notice about things?

00:50:21.060 And he said, I was watching people and listening.

00:50:24.420 And he said, as you were speaking, I heard so many people say, huh, wow.

00:50:32.660 And that's the beginning of it.

00:50:35.660 Just opening people's minds to that's not what I thought at all.

00:50:40.280 Yeah, exactly.

00:50:42.800 And I think, um, as soon as, as soon as that spark kind of goes off in someone's mind and

00:50:49.380 the wheels start to turn, it's not that you should go in with the approach of you want

00:50:54.180 to change your mind, but you just want to understand and they want to understand that's

00:50:58.560 when real change happens.

00:50:59.540 The problems that I have with talking to people is when they say, how do you win?

00:51:06.900 Or they're trying to win the argument.

00:51:10.800 You, you, there's no, uh, Martin Luther King said, and he is absolutely right.

00:51:15.100 Winning assumes that there's going to be a loser and you want everyone walking from the

00:51:21.360 table feeling that they've, that they've won, that they, that they've reconciled with somebody

00:51:28.260 else.

00:51:29.000 And, uh, because we're going to have to, if you play this out in your head, if the Democrats

00:51:35.700 get absolutely everything that they want, and let's say they rule for the next 20 years

00:51:41.040 and they get this socialist utopia, well, there are going to be people like me and maybe you

00:51:46.080 that were, uh, no, never.

00:51:49.020 I'm not going there.

00:51:50.640 I won't buy into it.

00:51:52.160 I'm not going to speak that language.

00:51:54.120 I'm not it.

00:51:55.340 I will not go over the cliff with the rest of humanity because it's easier.

00:52:00.040 I will stand for what I believe is the truth.

00:52:02.360 So what do they do with that 10 to 30% of the population that doesn't comply?

00:52:10.480 Well, usually it's round them up and kill them or put them in a training camp or whatever.

00:52:16.860 That's what happens.

00:52:19.100 And the same would happen if you are a big government person on the right.

00:52:24.320 What are you going to do with the people that disagree with you that will never change your

00:52:28.560 mind, their mind?

00:52:29.660 You have to reconcile with them and live in peace.

00:52:34.060 And that has to be done before we talk about any policies.

00:52:38.240 We have to start trusting each other.

00:52:40.500 Carolyn quickly, what do you want to do for a living?

00:52:42.760 Um, I'm not thought that far.

00:52:46.740 Uh, I will be attending Hillsdale college in the fall where I'll be doing politics and

00:52:51.120 history.

00:52:52.200 Um, and, and I know I, I joke with my mother, I was adopted from South Korea, so I can't

00:52:58.540 run for president, but I like to joke with my parents that, um, I would like to find a

00:53:03.460 way to be first lady.

00:53:04.480 Cause, um, the same way, um, Jackie Kennedy went in and sort of restored the white house

00:53:11.280 with the theory design, I always say, I like to, I'd like to restore it with, um, making

00:53:16.240 it the people's house again, allowing, allowing people from all over the country to come in

00:53:20.940 and, you know, have lunch with the president or the first lady and just spend hours talking

00:53:25.780 and really knowing what they want to hear.

00:53:28.180 Carolyn, I would love to spend more time with you.

00:53:30.760 I would like to have our producers grab your phone number.

00:53:33.260 I'd like to have you on at least once a year to see that you have held the course all

00:53:37.840 the way through school.

00:53:39.540 Uh, and if you're ever looking for an internship, I would love to have you intern directly with

00:53:44.720 me.

00:53:45.080 So I want to put you on hold and we'll get your phone numbers.

00:53:47.700 Thank you so much.

00:53:48.560 And say hello to your father and your mother.

00:53:50.400 Now this Illinois is not able to put a budget together.

00:53:53.920 If they're not by tomorrow, it will be the first state to see its debt plunge into junk

00:54:02.240 bond status.

00:54:03.860 Now, what does that mean?

00:54:05.420 That means we have a state going belly up.

00:54:10.160 Illinois has a $14.5 billion bill that is overdue, $130 billion in unfunded pension obligations.

00:54:19.880 And this is a quote from the governor.

00:54:22.260 We can't manage our money.

00:54:24.040 We're like a banana republic.

00:54:25.740 This can change everything and should be a massive wake up call that everything that

00:54:34.180 you worried about and we talked about and wanted to prepare for is coming.

00:54:39.400 Nothing is changing because the problems are at the state level as much as they are at the

00:54:44.760 federal level.

00:54:45.420 I want you to get a free report from Goldline from President Reagan's budget director, David

00:54:50.480 Stockman.

00:54:51.140 He has identified five threats that can rock, literally rock the world.

00:54:55.860 You get it for free by calling Goldline right now, 866-GOLD-LINE, 1-866-GOLD-LINE.

00:55:02.520 They're also extending their price protection program for as little as $2,500.

00:55:06.840 You're going to get three months of price protection.

00:55:09.260 And the more you spend, the more protection you get all the way up to a year's price protection

00:55:15.020 at $25,000 investment.

00:55:17.460 That means you put $25,000 in.

00:55:20.500 If gold loses 4%, they're going to give you 4% more at the end of the year in gold.

00:55:27.180 And you don't even have to call them.

00:55:28.700 They call you.

00:55:30.560 It's remarkable.

00:55:32.040 Nobody else does this with an investment.

00:55:34.780 Make sure you read their risk information.

00:55:44.540 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:47.460 Welcome to it.

00:55:55.280 We've got an amazing feud going on now with tweets between Mika and Donald Trump that is

00:56:02.800 just, I mean, it's a soap opera.

00:56:06.060 It is.

00:56:06.420 Our life has become a soap opera.

00:56:10.040 And I want to give you this amazing study.

00:56:12.800 How many people would give up alcohol to see Donald Trump impeached?

00:56:17.460 If you saw this yesterday, you might have heard that 73.3% of Democrats say they would give

00:56:28.320 up alcohol for the rest of their life if it meant that President Trump would be impeached

00:56:34.840 tomorrow.

00:56:35.340 73.3% of Republicans said they would give up alcohol for the rest of their life.

00:56:44.660 Now, one more, and then I got to take a break and get to the real news.

00:56:51.400 The media, if the media stopped writing negative things about President Trump, 6.5% of Democrats

00:56:59.160 said they would give up alcohol forever.

00:57:01.000 And 30.6% of Republicans said they would give up alcohol forever.

00:57:08.160 Now, that was what made the headlines.

00:57:11.040 But that was only one of the questions, or two of the questions, that they asked these people.

00:57:18.540 Would you give up alcohol if?

00:57:21.160 When you read the entire study, oh, we learn so very much about the left and the right and

00:57:31.840 men and women.

00:57:32.960 And we get to that when we come back.

00:57:52.160 We are one.

00:57:56.120 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:59.160 Look your head.

00:58:02.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:58:07.080 All right.

00:58:08.160 There's two stories that we've got to get to before the top of the hour.

00:58:11.840 We have a great show.

00:58:13.440 If you've just joined us, thank you so much for listening.

00:58:16.380 I want to give you the story that maybe you read just the headline and you passed.

00:58:23.960 You shouldn't have.

00:58:24.900 Or maybe what source you were reading only gave you part of the story.

00:58:30.280 They shouldn't have.

00:58:31.540 This is a fantastic story.

00:58:34.340 Here's how many people would give up alcohol to see Donald Trump impeached.

00:58:39.660 Now.

00:58:42.060 They researchers asked, will you give up alcohol for the rest of your life?

00:58:47.560 If, first question, President Trump would be impeached tomorrow, 73% of Democrats and 17% of Republicans

00:58:59.540 said yes.

00:59:00.740 First of all, I don't believe them at all.

00:59:04.180 As a guy who is a recovering alcoholic, not a chance in the world.

00:59:11.280 No way.

00:59:11.600 But 73% said, remember this number, 73% said yes.

00:59:17.840 The next question was, would you give up alcohol for the rest of your life if the media stopped writing negative things about President Trump?

00:59:25.720 6.5% of Democrats said yes.

00:59:30.960 30.6% of Republicans said yes.

00:59:34.520 I thought that was an impressive number because it shows that the majority of Republicans don't want to shut the press down.

00:59:43.040 Either that or they just really love alcohol.

00:59:46.000 Now, here's where the story gets good, because this was a survey about the greater good.

00:59:54.800 Will you give up something that is almost impossible to give up for the greater good?

01:00:01.020 And this is where the rubber meets the road.

01:00:05.300 For instance, I'm in a faith that we don't drink coffee.

01:00:08.560 And, you know, people will say, oh, man, I just, I've, you know, really watched you and your faith and, you know, talk to you about it.

01:00:20.400 And it's really great.

01:00:21.900 But I could just never give up coffee.

01:00:26.060 Like, well, then you, you don't really understand.

01:00:30.000 You don't really understand.

01:00:31.080 Because if it's like, hmm, God or coffee, hmm.

01:00:37.020 And, you know, and that's not really the choice, but.

01:00:39.700 Well, I mean, Folgers Instant Crystals are the richest, most aromatic kind of coffee.

01:00:45.780 Jim doesn't have a second cup back at home.

01:00:48.940 I mean, it's crazy.

01:00:50.180 It's crazy.

01:00:50.740 So when you're asking, you know, will you give up alcohol for the rest of your life?

01:00:56.040 And 73% say, yes, A, I don't believe you.

01:01:00.460 Second, that's quite a commitment.

01:01:03.160 You really must believe in it.

01:01:05.120 So what else do you really believe in?

01:01:09.720 Listen to these.

01:01:12.400 If you could, would you give up alcohol for the remainder of your life if it meant stopping global climate change?

01:01:22.080 Now, they didn't break it out left and right, which I would have loved to see.

01:01:29.940 Me too.

01:01:30.800 I know.

01:01:31.360 I know.

01:01:31.920 They broke this one up.

01:01:33.360 Men and women.

01:01:35.880 Halting global climate change.

01:01:38.200 23% of men said yes.

01:01:43.240 17% of women said yes.

01:01:49.140 Wait.

01:01:49.660 So only 23% who these people believe that this is the end of the world, that this is going to destroy all of us and kill us and just kill the planet, every animal, every tree and every living being in 100 years will be dead.

01:02:10.040 But only 23% of the men and 17% of the women say, I'm willing to give up alcohol to do that.

01:02:19.720 Wow.

01:02:20.440 How selfish or how little you actually believe.

01:02:24.660 That's amazing.

01:02:26.080 I mean, they say this is a bigger threat than terrorism.

01:02:29.760 Yes.

01:02:29.960 Than global nuclear war.

01:02:31.840 I will tell you, in the dinner I had last night, there was a foreigner there at the table.

01:02:40.780 And I don't want to give any details about these people because, you know, in their circles, they could be identified.

01:02:47.020 And we had a private conversation last night.

01:02:49.380 So I don't want to quote anybody and I don't want to reveal who was there.

01:02:54.100 But I will tell you that this person who is not from America or North America was so passionate about global warming.

01:03:08.840 I mean, almost, almost wept, I think, about how and how much danger we are in because of global warming.

01:03:18.340 And people truly believe that or it's so they say.

01:03:23.520 But that's the number.

01:03:26.960 23% of Americans would say they would give up alcohol to stop it.

01:03:31.700 It seems pretty selfish.

01:03:33.500 But wait, there's more.

01:03:36.140 However, how many people would give up alcohol if 10 children in another country would gain access to clean drinking water?

01:03:48.060 You'll give up alcohol for the rest of your life, which really means nothing, really means nothing.

01:03:54.540 You'll give up if 10 children in another country could have clean, non-poison water.

01:04:01.820 And how often have we heard, if it saves one person, just one, isn't it worth it?

01:04:08.080 Just one.

01:04:09.980 Men, listen to this.

01:04:11.520 Men, 35.1%.

01:04:14.520 Now you'd think, okay, well, that's guys.

01:04:20.060 Women, 19.3%.

01:04:23.980 Wow.

01:04:26.260 That's kind of disturbing that men are more willing to give up alcohol than women are to save children.

01:04:35.120 How about this one?

01:04:37.320 Would you give up alcohol for the rest of your life?

01:04:40.280 Now think of this.

01:04:42.600 If it would save the life of a stranger.

01:04:46.900 36% said yes.

01:04:51.760 Of men, 36.

01:04:54.440 Women, 25.8.

01:04:58.440 It's lower for women?

01:05:00.580 Yes.

01:05:01.540 Yes.

01:05:02.060 And both the stranger and the children.

01:05:04.820 That's pretty amazing.

01:05:06.120 Pretty amazing.

01:05:06.860 Okay.

01:05:07.260 So there's one more.

01:05:08.400 Stu, I'm going to give you this survey.

01:05:10.900 And I want you to go in and look at it for tomorrow's show, because there's a reason they didn't do left and right.

01:05:20.660 Why did they stop breaking it up on Democrats and Republicans?

01:05:24.000 My guess is, as this was reported in the Huffington Post, my guess is, and I could be wrong, that it shows that there are more Republicans that would save the life of children, et cetera, et cetera.

01:05:37.380 I bet that's true.

01:05:38.760 I could be wrong.

01:05:40.200 I could be wrong, but look into it.

01:05:43.200 Okay.

01:05:43.880 So saving the life of one stranger, 36% of men, 25% of women, 10 children in another country gain access to clean and safe water, 35% of men, 19% of women.

01:05:57.580 Halting global climate change is the lowest so far.

01:06:01.800 10 points, actually 12 points behind everything else.

01:06:06.040 Men, 23%, women, 17.

01:06:08.860 And here's the kicker.

01:06:10.860 Would you give up alcohol for the rest of your life if it meant that tomorrow we would discover the cure for cancer?

01:06:27.100 Now, I would think that number would be yes to everyone except an alcoholic who was like, I try, but I can't guarantee.

01:06:40.360 Right?

01:06:41.480 Yes.

01:06:42.560 Yeah.

01:06:42.980 Cure for cancer tomorrow.

01:06:45.720 7.

01:06:47.840 7.6% of men, 5.6% of women.

01:06:52.320 That is unbelievable.

01:06:55.380 That can't be right.

01:06:56.240 That can't be right.

01:06:57.760 Okay.

01:06:58.380 Well, I know.

01:06:59.040 It's unbelievable.

01:06:59.700 I know.

01:07:00.980 Look it up.

01:07:02.040 It is a survey of 1,000 people, detox.net.

01:07:07.720 Check it out, Stu.

01:07:08.820 And give me the report on that tomorrow, will you?

01:07:10.700 Is it because they don't believe that by giving up alcohol that will make a cure available?

01:07:15.240 No, you have to have a suspension of belief anyway.

01:07:21.260 You know, it's like these people who will go to like Star Wars and they're like, I don't think so because there's no animals.

01:07:28.240 There's no animals like that.

01:07:30.940 What?

01:07:32.260 That was your problem?

01:07:33.760 Okay, one other story.

01:07:37.920 When we come back about a feud that I swear shows we're living in a soap opera.

01:07:44.780 When we come back.

01:07:45.620 First, let me tell you about LifeLock.

01:07:47.520 A new ransomware attack sweeping across the globe like wildfire.

01:07:53.040 Even worse than WannaCry.

01:07:55.120 I got an alert.

01:07:56.420 Was this yesterday that this happened?

01:07:58.280 Um, Petya ransomware encrypts and locks your entire hard drive, not just the individual files.

01:08:07.400 It has already crippled global banks, media companies, governments across multiple countries.

01:08:14.540 Uh, it is, it's pretty staggering what is going on.

01:08:18.240 What a surprise.

01:08:18.960 It looks like it, um, originated in possibly Russia and Ukraine.

01:08:24.180 Ukraine?

01:08:25.240 Who would want to cripple the Ukraine?

01:08:28.280 Oh, I remember now, Putin.

01:08:33.260 That's why Norton and LifeLock have joined forces to help protect against the evolving threats to everyone's digital security.

01:08:41.040 And this is something that I'm telling you, you need to do because there is coming a time where you will not be able to access your bank.

01:08:50.580 You won't be able to access your, even your computer, uh, or perhaps your, your computer at work.

01:08:56.100 It is going to hit all of us and nobody can stop all, you know, all cyber threats, prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

01:09:04.180 But with Norton and LifeLock, you have the most effective cyber defense out there.

01:09:09.580 Call 1-800-LIFELOCK or go to lifelock.com.

01:09:12.660 Use the promo code Norton60, Norton60 for details to receive the Norton Security Deluxe for a year with an additional LifeLock membership.

01:09:24.580 So that's a $90 value.

01:09:26.520 You get your LifeLock membership for 60 days, risk-free and Norton Security Deluxe.

01:09:32.880 That's promo code Norton60, 1-800-LIFELOCK or lifelock.com.

01:09:40.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:09:45.480 Mercury.

01:09:49.080 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:09:51.940 888-727-BECK.

01:09:54.100 So, uh, who's more likely to give up alcohol?

01:10:01.420 Uh, as we were talking about this and Stu went to the, uh, detox.net, uh, it, the stats are, are clear there.

01:10:10.280 The Huffington Post is so damn confusing the way they put this together that the stats for Donald Trump are, uh, who would give up alcohol.

01:10:22.620 Yeah, which I think is how you reported that.

01:10:24.640 Yes, I did.

01:10:25.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:10:26.340 And then the ones about cure for cancer and global, uh, climate change, et cetera, et cetera.

01:10:31.560 That was who wouldn't.

01:10:32.780 Who wouldn't.

01:10:33.760 But did you know, have you seen the Huffington Post, the way it's written?

01:10:37.400 Yeah, it's, it's not just them too, it's several sources are kind of, uh, reporting this the wrong way, so.

01:10:42.060 It's completely the wrong way, and then it's followed again with who would.

01:10:46.360 For instance, uh, millennials, listen to this, millennials were slightly more willing to lose a finger than to give up alcohol.

01:10:56.960 Now, am I reading that one right?

01:10:59.140 Uh, yes, I think so.

01:11:00.560 I think so.

01:11:01.600 But, so, that's why it looked like women looked worse in this survey.

01:11:06.140 Right, which is really good news.

01:11:07.820 Because it was the other way around.

01:11:08.400 Women look better than men, as they almost always do in these kinds of things.

01:11:12.300 Yeah, and so we should say, they reversed the phrasing of the question on the four points we were talking about with,

01:11:18.580 would you give up the, um, the alcohol for the rest of your life for these things?

01:11:22.380 It's just a weird way they've asked it.

01:11:23.460 For the cure for cancer, it was only 7.6% of men wouldn't give up alcohol.

01:11:28.420 5.6% of women wouldn't.

01:11:29.880 So that's, so that's, A, very important because it shows that not everyone in our society are the worst people on earth.

01:11:34.460 Yeah, and we have 7 or 8% that you just, you know.

01:11:37.060 That are alcoholics.

01:11:37.960 Yes.

01:11:38.500 That are alcoholics.

01:11:39.760 But still, how is that number not zero in reality?

01:11:43.600 You know what, when you're asked for that, it should be zero.

01:11:47.620 Yeah.

01:11:47.920 In reality, it probably would be less than 10% and not zero.

01:11:52.560 Right, because some people wouldn't be able to stop themselves.

01:11:54.360 And I think there's, there's always with these polls, there's a margin of error.

01:11:57.920 There are people who may have read the thing the wrong way.

01:12:01.260 Uh, there's also people who are just bad people.

01:12:03.720 Harry Reid, for instance.

01:12:05.260 There you go.

01:12:06.080 You know, um, also, and all the Republicans who just, it's blood money.

01:12:10.600 Really?

01:12:11.260 This is blood money.

01:12:12.300 Who just want people to die.

01:12:13.740 To die.

01:12:14.200 Yes.

01:12:14.800 Um, could you go back tomorrow and do that research and see if you could break it out to Republicans and Democrats on both of those?

01:12:22.240 Yeah, I'll, I'll look into it and see if I can find all the crosstabs and everything and look at it.

01:12:25.500 Yeah, it was interesting that they started, or at least, you know, in, in, in your survey that you were reading from HuffPo, they started breaking it down that way and then they stopped.

01:12:34.540 Then it was just men and women.

01:12:36.080 No, and then they ended it with who would give up, uh, alcohol.

01:12:40.820 I mean, it's, it's weird the way they've, the way they've phrased this.

01:12:44.940 Um, uh, wine drinkers are more likely to give up sex for alcohol than beer or liquor drinkers.

01:12:51.360 Let me see if I have this right.

01:12:53.760 Wine drinkers were more likely to give up sex for alcohol than beer or liquor drinkers.

01:13:02.540 Correct.

01:13:03.620 That is what it says.

01:13:04.460 That's what the hell is that?

01:13:07.000 Beer drinkers, 15% say they'd give a, they, uh, they would give up sex for alcohol.

01:13:15.580 15% of hard liquor drinkers would give up sex and 24% who drink wine would give up sex for wine.

01:13:28.240 Women like wine more.

01:13:29.620 What?

01:13:30.540 There's your summary.

01:13:31.460 There's your answer.

01:13:32.420 Or like sex less.

01:13:33.900 Well, both.

01:13:35.820 Yep.

01:13:35.980 Um, women were more likely than men to end a relationship if their partner didn't approve

01:13:41.940 of their alcohol use.

01:13:44.680 28% of men, 34% of women.

01:13:49.200 Hmm.

01:13:50.880 It's an interesting idea in that, uh, you know, looking at, uh, you know, they go through

01:13:55.300 also who would you, for a month, would you give up these things for alcohol?

01:13:58.760 Um, I'd rather give up going to the movies for alcohol.

01:14:01.260 65% of people I'd rather give up social media instead of alcohol, uh, uh, for a month of

01:14:07.320 alcohol, 50%.

01:14:08.360 Um, I'd rather give up coffee, uh, than for a month of alcohol, 47.5%.

01:14:15.780 You know what?

01:14:16.940 I have to tell you, uh, I, let's revisit this tomorrow.

01:14:20.060 Cause I think this is an important topic as an alcoholic.

01:14:23.340 Um, I think that there are a lot of people that may not be alcoholics that use alcoholics,

01:14:31.260 alcohol as a, as a real escape, much more than movies.

01:14:35.660 They use alcohol as an escape from their life.

01:14:39.020 I want to talk about that.

01:14:40.100 And nine months after the election of Donald Trump is next month.

01:14:47.260 What will the birth rate be like?

01:14:50.160 Will it be up or down over the next two months?

01:14:54.060 I have a theory on that.

01:14:55.700 We'll share it tomorrow.

01:14:56.660 Glenn Beck.

01:14:59.780 Mercury.

01:15:15.060 The Blaze Radio Network.

01:15:19.760 On Demand.

01:15:20.820 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:15:28.020 Newsweek says, Democrats now want a socialist to lead their party more than a capitalist.

01:15:34.400 I absolutely believe that.

01:15:37.260 And it's about time that we actually have that conversation.

01:15:41.300 Are we going to go for capitalism?

01:15:42.840 Are we going to go for socialism?

01:15:44.800 But we, we need an actual capitalist.

01:15:49.340 We need somebody who understands Adam Smith's wealth of nations, and more importantly, the book that is never taught in business school, that is the companion to that by Adam Smith, moral sentiments, that that's where we get the invisible hand of the market.

01:16:08.000 And how capitalism, unless it is used by a moral and decent society, it will choke society to death.

01:16:20.860 We need to have those real discussions, and I want to have a discussion with you on capitalism and socialism and how we need to teach it to our youth.

01:16:34.980 We need to, each of us, and I need to get busy on the stick and start really teaching children and teaching millennials.

01:16:44.500 I think you get it, I think what I heard yesterday from several people on the show when I was listening to you, which I want to do much more often.

01:16:56.840 And what I heard yesterday was, Glenn, help us with the families and the children.

01:17:04.160 So we'll get into that a little bit.

01:17:05.740 Also, if you notice the feuds that are going on, I mean, the open air feuds.

01:17:14.820 There's two conservatives that are chopping each other into little pieces, and we have the president chopping some of his friends in little pieces.

01:17:29.300 And this one is between the president and Mika from Morning Joe.

01:17:35.620 And it's, you know, William Shatner told me he likes to watch or listen to my show because he said,

01:17:42.260 It's like a fire, and there's a certain beauty of just watching it burn to the ground.

01:17:49.220 And I'd like to quote William Shatner on that.

01:17:52.240 It's, this feud with Mika is like a fire, and I'm fascinated by just watching it burn down to the ground.

01:18:01.680 We begin there, right now.

01:18:05.620 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand, cause we are one.

01:18:13.480 I will beat my drum, I have made my choice, we will overcome, cause we are one.

01:18:22.360 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:18:26.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:29.740 Alright, so, this morning, while you are getting up for work, and you probably rolled out of bed and thought,

01:18:41.840 When is it going to be Friday?

01:18:45.620 You rolled out of bed, you've got a million things on your mind, you are trying to make ends meet,

01:18:52.500 You have health care, and your premiums up 140%.

01:19:00.680 You're worried about your job, you're worried about making ends meet,

01:19:06.080 You're worried about your kids and their education, even in primary school,

01:19:12.240 You're worried about what's being taught.

01:19:14.140 You're watching your education, and what do I do about college, because A, no one can afford college.

01:19:23.900 In the last eight years, it's gone up over 400%.

01:19:28.080 Nobody's discussing that.

01:19:31.360 Nobody's really discussing, what do I do for a job?

01:19:36.220 As much as everybody wants to talk about health care, they're not talking about health care, they're talking about power.

01:19:44.720 No one is actually looking at how to solve the health care crisis that we now have in America.

01:19:52.400 And you get up, and you see a story with a senator, a Republican senator,

01:20:00.860 that is supportive of Donald Trump, and supportive of Trump care,

01:20:06.800 left the White House yesterday and said,

01:20:10.660 the president doesn't have, I want to make sure I read this right,

01:20:17.020 the president,

01:20:19.160 I met with him yesterday,

01:20:23.860 and he seemed to not really understand what was happening with his own bill.

01:20:34.940 The president, quoting,

01:20:36.120 the president did not have a grasp of some of the basic elements of the Senate plan.

01:20:42.140 He was especially confused, still quoting,

01:20:45.020 when the moderate Republican complained that opponents of the bill would cast it as a massive tax break for the wealthy.

01:20:53.700 Well, this set the president off on fake news again and enemies.

01:21:01.140 And then, as you're getting up thinking,

01:21:03.500 please tell me it's Friday,

01:21:05.160 the president tweets this.

01:21:11.060 This was tweeted this morning about 7 a.m.

01:21:15.240 I heard poorly rated Morning Joe speaks badly of me.

01:21:20.480 Then how come low IQ crazy Mika along with psycho Joe came to Mar-a-Lago the next week,

01:21:30.420 came to Mar-a-Lago three nights in a row around New Year's Eve and, quote,

01:21:35.860 insisted on joining me.

01:21:38.460 She was bleeding badly from a facelift.

01:21:42.120 I said no.

01:21:43.120 Okay, all right.

01:21:47.400 Hang on just a second.

01:21:49.100 Let's just look at this.

01:21:50.200 First of all,

01:21:51.540 these were people that were friends,

01:21:54.440 have been friends,

01:21:56.140 went to him.

01:21:57.200 He was one of the first who knew that they were getting married.

01:22:00.780 He had lunch with them.

01:22:03.080 He and the White House confirmed that they had lunch,

01:22:05.580 and the White House confirmed that he had said that you should have it at the White House.

01:22:12.700 His son said,

01:22:14.300 I don't remember who it was,

01:22:15.820 could marry you at the White House,

01:22:17.420 and Donald Trump said,

01:22:18.800 well, I can marry you.

01:22:19.960 You can,

01:22:20.400 I can,

01:22:20.980 the president could marry you.

01:22:22.880 So they're close enough friends to have that conversation.

01:22:27.360 Yeah,

01:22:27.920 and Mika and Joe covered for him the whole campaign.

01:22:30.500 I mean,

01:22:31.040 the whole campaign.

01:22:32.580 And he boasted about how great they were,

01:22:35.460 and that's where he gets his news,

01:22:37.180 and he does watch Joe and Mika.

01:22:40.260 Then,

01:22:40.940 on New Year's Eve,

01:22:42.780 he has them stay for three nights at Mar-a-Lago.

01:22:47.860 He's got friends staying for three nights at Mar-a-Lago.

01:22:53.980 She comes down,

01:22:55.060 apparently she has plastic surgery,

01:22:57.480 and to quote him,

01:22:58.980 she's bleeding from her whatever.

01:23:03.120 And what friend,

01:23:05.440 A,

01:23:06.800 says,

01:23:07.660 oh,

01:23:07.880 your face is bleeding.

01:23:09.140 No,

01:23:09.440 I don't want you around me.

01:23:11.380 What friend says that?

01:23:13.700 And B,

01:23:15.120 what friend says that a woman was having plastic surgery,

01:23:20.060 let alone a woman was having plastic surgery,

01:23:22.920 and bleeding all over,

01:23:24.840 and I couldn't stand it?

01:23:26.860 Oh my gosh.

01:23:27.720 Oh my gosh.

01:23:30.120 Okay,

01:23:30.640 so now Mika responds.

01:23:33.360 You have the Mika tweaks,

01:23:34.840 do you not,

01:23:35.580 Stu?

01:23:36.440 Well,

01:23:36.780 it kind of goes back to what caused this,

01:23:38.800 because there's always,

01:23:39.600 obviously he was watching Morning Joe.

01:23:41.600 No one told him about it.

01:23:42.880 He was watching it.

01:23:44.160 And they,

01:23:45.500 so he tweeted afterwards,

01:23:46.560 and it seems to be,

01:23:47.960 what began this was she made a comment about this story about the fake Time Magazine cover.

01:23:55.200 We didn't talk about this yesterday,

01:23:56.620 Eric,

01:23:56.840 because you did the call-in show yesterday.

01:23:58.840 We didn't mention it.

01:23:59.840 But the bottom line was,

01:24:01.380 Trump had a fake cover of Time Magazine made,

01:24:05.380 and he put it up in his golf clubs to look like he was on the cover of Time Magazine.

01:24:09.900 Talk about fake news.

01:24:11.040 Right.

01:24:12.300 Well,

01:24:12.780 okay,

01:24:13.100 so hang on just a second.

01:24:14.260 Look,

01:24:14.440 give him the benefit of the doubt.

01:24:16.120 He's a celebrity,

01:24:17.700 blah,

01:24:17.960 blah,

01:24:18.180 blah.

01:24:18.660 It's a golf course and golf resort.

01:24:21.740 And,

01:24:22.180 you know,

01:24:22.820 it's PR.

01:24:24.380 It is fake.

01:24:25.580 It's fake news,

01:24:26.660 but it's PR.

01:24:27.620 Yeah,

01:24:27.760 you sure,

01:24:28.100 you play that game.

01:24:29.280 I'm not going to,

01:24:29.860 but yes,

01:24:31.180 he was.

01:24:31.420 I'm just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

01:24:32.980 I realize that.

01:24:33.720 It's interesting how Time discovered it,

01:24:35.080 too.

01:24:35.300 They saw that up on his wall,

01:24:39.280 and they're like,

01:24:40.380 wait a minute,

01:24:41.040 we didn't,

01:24:41.400 that's not our cover.

01:24:42.540 So they went,

01:24:43.040 they released every cover of Time Magazine from that year.

01:24:47.840 And interestingly,

01:24:48.940 there was,

01:24:50.040 somebody,

01:24:50.500 fairly prominent on the cover of Time Magazine that year.

01:24:54.740 For real?

01:24:55.520 Yeah,

01:24:55.940 not Donald Trump,

01:24:57.240 but somebody sticking their tongue out.

01:25:02.080 Some crazy guy.

01:25:03.320 Some crazy guy.

01:25:04.780 That hurts.

01:25:07.320 So Glenn,

01:25:08.120 you were actually on the cover while Donald was making fake ones.

01:25:11.080 Yeah.

01:25:11.320 It's funny,

01:25:12.020 because I don't have that.

01:25:13.240 He had,

01:25:13.880 he posted it.

01:25:14.520 Here's where it got weird is,

01:25:16.080 apparently that fake cover is posted at Mar-a-Lago as well.

01:25:20.500 That's not a public space.

01:25:22.700 That's his place.

01:25:24.760 And while he has a lot of people over to Mar-a-Lago,

01:25:27.520 et cetera,

01:25:27.840 et cetera,

01:25:28.120 et cetera,

01:25:28.140 that's,

01:25:28.600 that's weird.

01:25:29.320 I mean,

01:25:29.620 I don't have the picture of me on the cover of Time Magazine in my house.

01:25:36.340 I mean,

01:25:36.800 we have it,

01:25:37.380 you know,

01:25:38.340 in the,

01:25:38.820 in the wall,

01:25:39.440 on one of the walls of the studios,

01:25:41.700 because people come in and visit,

01:25:43.640 et cetera,

01:25:43.940 et cetera.

01:25:44.380 But I don't have a cover of me on Time Magazine at my house.

01:25:48.120 He's got a fake one of him in his house.

01:25:52.120 Weird.

01:25:52.640 But to your,

01:25:53.120 to your point,

01:25:53.740 I think you can,

01:25:54.380 and this is what's weird about this,

01:25:55.820 because you can obviously excuse.

01:25:57.580 He's,

01:25:58.080 he's trying to make himself look good at his golf clubs and look.

01:26:00.700 Sure.

01:26:00.880 And,

01:26:01.380 and so you,

01:26:02.000 they showed this.

01:26:02.680 And he is a star and,

01:26:04.360 you know,

01:26:05.080 and,

01:26:05.380 and the headline was,

01:26:06.940 you know,

01:26:07.580 celebrity apprentice hits ratings high.

01:26:09.780 And I think that was accurate at the time that that came out.

01:26:12.700 I mean,

01:26:13.240 so he's just promoting himself.

01:26:15.380 He's promoting the image of success.

01:26:17.900 And he was having real success at the time.

01:26:20.960 It's definitely a weird thing to do to glamor shot yourself on the cover of a

01:26:24.080 magazine when you're a big celebrity already.

01:26:25.860 Like that's a strange thing to do when they released,

01:26:28.200 they released the side-by-side covers where they took the,

01:26:30.620 the headlines from the real cover and put them on the fake cover.

01:26:33.880 It's,

01:26:33.960 it's a,

01:26:34.220 it's a very strange thing to do.

01:26:35.620 However,

01:26:36.200 completely excusable from,

01:26:39.960 from a wild celebrity who tweets crazy things.

01:26:43.120 The same thing about this tweet.

01:26:45.680 It's completely acceptable from him as a host of the apprentice to tweet things

01:26:50.040 about Mika in,

01:26:51.380 in a derogatory way.

01:26:52.560 I mean,

01:26:53.140 you know,

01:26:53.400 it's,

01:26:53.600 it's what we'd expect out of a lot of celebrities as the president.

01:26:56.160 It does come off as a very strange.

01:26:58.680 And I'm sorry.

01:26:59.380 I,

01:26:59.620 you know what?

01:26:59.980 I think you're inappropriate.

01:27:01.180 I mean,

01:27:01.740 it's completely inappropriate.

01:27:03.120 I mean,

01:27:03.720 you want to talk,

01:27:04.420 you don't,

01:27:05.040 you don't do again.

01:27:07.620 I'm stuck on the,

01:27:09.280 she was at my house for three days.

01:27:11.500 She was bleeding so badly,

01:27:13.440 uh,

01:27:14.260 from a,

01:27:15.340 uh,

01:27:15.860 a facelift.

01:27:16.880 Uh,

01:27:17.700 she,

01:27:17.920 her face was bleeding.

01:27:19.440 I said,

01:27:19.960 no,

01:27:20.240 you can't come to the party.

01:27:22.140 I mean,

01:27:22.260 I just can't get past that on like 800 different levels.

01:27:25.980 Right.

01:27:26.180 So she was talking about this time magazine cover story.

01:27:28.940 She said,

01:27:29.760 uh,

01:27:29.980 he has his arms crossed.

01:27:31.120 Maybe he was doing that to hide his teensy hands.

01:27:33.460 And that's what they think set him off,

01:27:35.180 uh,

01:27:35.940 on,

01:27:36.260 on this particular Twitter,

01:27:37.300 uh,

01:27:37.740 rant.

01:27:38.440 Um,

01:27:38.880 so she has now responded with a tweet of a old Cheerios ad that says,

01:27:43.680 um,

01:27:44.320 you know,

01:27:44.540 made for teeny hands.

01:27:46.300 Um,

01:27:46.660 so now it was kind of going back and forth and they do have a weird relationship.

01:27:49.800 They do kind of seemingly,

01:27:51.600 I don't,

01:27:52.080 they both have,

01:27:52.700 they have a very,

01:27:53.200 but if it's true,

01:27:54.500 if it's true,

01:27:55.520 made for teeny hands,

01:27:57.060 if it's true that he is really super sensitive of his hands,

01:28:00.620 uh,

01:28:01.120 that's,

01:28:02.040 that's like friendship ending stuff.

01:28:04.560 I may be,

01:28:05.440 but they've had so many friendship ending moments.

01:28:07.680 And I guess it's times you think,

01:28:09.420 cause I mean,

01:28:09.900 last time they got really pissed at each other is when,

01:28:12.400 uh,

01:28:13.340 he Trump tweeted about the previously unknown relationship between Joe and Mika.

01:28:19.860 And he was like,

01:28:20.440 look,

01:28:20.800 uh,

01:28:20.980 you know,

01:28:21.120 I brought his girlfriend in for this.

01:28:22.960 And like he,

01:28:23.640 and you know,

01:28:24.040 having personal friend knowledge of their relationship,

01:28:26.560 but that was not public.

01:28:27.700 He just sort of tweeted it to torture them.

01:28:30.220 You know who we have to have on.

01:28:33.300 We have to have Don Imus on.

01:28:36.200 Hmm.

01:28:36.700 And ask him about,

01:28:38.440 uh,

01:28:39.480 because he has one of those relationships with Donald Trump of,

01:28:43.140 you know,

01:28:44.140 Don is,

01:28:45.480 there's nobody better at,

01:28:47.940 uh,

01:28:49.200 taking a pounding and giving a pounding than Don Imus.

01:28:52.460 Oh yeah.

01:28:52.900 And so maybe there's,

01:28:54.660 you know,

01:28:54.960 maybe this is what Donald Trump does for fun.

01:28:57.420 He pounds and they pound back like me and Bill O'Reilly or me and Don Imus.

01:29:01.640 Some of the Don Imus when he dies,

01:29:04.280 I'm,

01:29:04.620 I swear I'm going to publish a little bathroom reader of just our emails back to each other.

01:29:09.000 Cause they're hysterical,

01:29:10.240 uh,

01:29:11.120 on just pounding each other into the ground.

01:29:14.540 And I bet he knows,

01:29:16.940 uh,

01:29:18.120 Joe and Mika quite well,

01:29:20.140 uh,

01:29:20.940 or at least has,

01:29:22.140 uh,

01:29:22.380 people that know,

01:29:23.640 I wonder if this is an inside pounding.

01:29:26.580 I wonder if this is something that just,

01:29:28.820 uh,

01:29:30.060 you know,

01:29:30.380 gets people to talk and,

01:29:31.880 and,

01:29:32.540 uh,

01:29:33.200 Joe and Mika and Donald like that kind of stuff.

01:29:36.540 Yeah.

01:29:36.860 I mean,

01:29:37.080 it does seem like there's an element of that.

01:29:38.940 They see,

01:29:39.480 I don't know.

01:29:39.860 They seem to fall in and out of love.

01:29:41.640 Remember this is,

01:29:42.360 they were on,

01:29:43.120 remember they had a video where they were asking him what areas they wanted him to go into.

01:29:48.520 So they could coddle him through the interview.

01:29:50.900 They've obviously fallen in love and out of love many times.

01:29:53.380 This is really interesting because,

01:29:55.600 uh,

01:29:56.200 when I come back,

01:29:56.880 I'm going to tell you something that Roger Ailes told me about Al Sharpton.

01:30:01.680 Uh,

01:30:02.220 and it,

01:30:02.760 it helped me make my decision,

01:30:04.660 uh,

01:30:05.280 of leaving Fox very easily,

01:30:07.540 very easy.

01:30:08.620 Uh,

01:30:09.080 and,

01:30:09.800 and it might be the same thing here.

01:30:12.360 It,

01:30:12.900 it just might be the same thing here.

01:30:14.300 Cause Donald Trump thought a lot like,

01:30:16.280 uh,

01:30:17.080 Roger Ailes in,

01:30:18.120 in many ways.

01:30:19.420 Uh,

01:30:19.740 we'll get to that here coming up in just a second.

01:30:21.520 And now this,

01:30:22.340 what are you thinking about when you're at work?

01:30:25.580 It should be thinking about work,

01:30:27.220 should be thinking about the next,

01:30:28.700 uh,

01:30:29.140 project.

01:30:29.720 I personally,

01:30:30.580 I think about sleep,

01:30:31.940 how long before I can go home and just go back to sleep.

01:30:36.420 Uh,

01:30:36.860 anyway,

01:30:37.820 uh,

01:30:38.100 most,

01:30:38.980 most people think that the time to worry about your house and somebody breaking in is at night.

01:30:44.960 That is the least likely time for burglars to break in.

01:30:49.280 They don't know if you have a gun.

01:30:50.760 Well,

01:30:50.860 if you're in California,

01:30:51.660 you don't,

01:30:51.860 but if you don't have a gun,

01:30:53.760 they don't know.

01:30:54.760 They don't want trouble.

01:30:56.000 They just want your stuff most times.

01:30:58.380 So while you're working,

01:31:00.340 so are they.

01:31:01.540 And that's when they break into your house.

01:31:04.180 Simply safe is a completely wireless system.

01:31:06.440 That is so easy to install.

01:31:08.240 You can build this arsenal for all day,

01:31:11.240 all night protection in under an hour.

01:31:14.340 And it is unbelievably inexpensive.

01:31:17.120 It is,

01:31:17.880 um,

01:31:18.560 something that for five or 600 bucks,

01:31:21.140 you're going to be able to have absolutely everything you need to make sure that nobody's opening up a window.

01:31:28.360 Your house isn't going to burn down,

01:31:30.500 uh,

01:31:31.320 that,

01:31:31.720 uh,

01:31:32.100 you know,

01:31:32.360 you've got cameras,

01:31:33.560 high definition cameras.

01:31:35.000 You're going to be able to,

01:31:36.680 um,

01:31:37.640 secure your home.

01:31:42.260 you're going to get the 24 seven security.

01:31:44.980 So I I'm not sure about all the prices of how much everything costs,

01:31:48.460 but it's really inexpensive,

01:32:16.080 The Glenn Beck program.

01:32:18.960 Mercury.

01:32:22.860 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:32:25.360 We have to get Don Imus on tomorrow.

01:32:27.360 Uh,

01:32:27.600 Bill O'Reilly will be on with us tomorrow.

01:32:29.340 Got to see if we can get Don Imus on at this time tomorrow to talk about,

01:32:33.320 uh,

01:32:34.340 the feud between Donald Trump and Mika and Joe,

01:32:36.900 because I think he knows all three of them.

01:32:38.760 And,

01:32:39.480 um,

01:32:39.980 when I was at Fox,

01:32:41.160 Roger Ailes,

01:32:41.860 uh,

01:32:42.220 said to me at one point,

01:32:43.320 uh,

01:32:44.380 that I needed to be friends with all of the,

01:32:46.920 uh,

01:32:47.600 Republicans.

01:32:48.540 And,

01:32:49.060 uh,

01:32:49.700 you know,

01:32:50.100 we all love the constitution,

01:32:50.760 constitution,

01:32:51.360 but there's things we have to do.

01:32:53.160 And I'm like,

01:32:54.120 okay.

01:32:54.540 And he said,

01:32:55.100 Glenn,

01:32:55.320 you don't know how to play the game.

01:32:57.040 And I said,

01:32:58.140 well,

01:32:58.980 cause I'm not playing a game.

01:33:00.460 And he said,

01:33:01.140 you don't understand how it works.

01:33:02.820 He said,

01:33:03.720 um,

01:33:04.920 look,

01:33:05.560 it's like with Al Sharpton.

01:33:08.160 I know that from time to time,

01:33:10.260 he's got to take a pound of flesh from me.

01:33:13.040 And so I give him this pound of flesh.

01:33:15.520 And then a few months later,

01:33:17.120 I'll take a pound of flesh from him because it'll help me.

01:33:20.800 And then we go and have dinner.

01:33:23.520 And I was like,

01:33:24.820 huh?

01:33:28.020 Yeah.

01:33:29.460 Uh,

01:33:30.040 I,

01:33:30.260 I'm not playing a game.

01:33:32.080 And his advice to me was that you're not going to survive.

01:33:35.940 Oh,

01:33:36.480 okay.

01:33:37.260 Then I won't survive.

01:33:38.640 I'm,

01:33:38.900 I'm perfectly fine with that.

01:33:40.460 And I wonder if that's not what's happening,

01:33:43.060 um,

01:33:44.340 here where he has people that,

01:33:47.120 he knows we're fine.

01:33:48.980 We're all going to have dinner.

01:33:49.860 You're going to come down to Mar-a-Lago and we'll be fine,

01:33:52.240 but I need a pound of flesh from you right now.

01:33:54.980 And you can,

01:33:56.020 you can take a pound of my flesh too,

01:33:58.300 but it's good for all of us.

01:34:00.900 You know,

01:34:01.500 people like that think,

01:34:02.780 what do you think of that theory?

01:34:04.680 Uh,

01:34:05.040 I think it's possible.

01:34:06.420 Uh,

01:34:06.660 they do seem to have a weird relationship of that sort.

01:34:10.640 Um,

01:34:10.920 and maybe even closer than a Roger,

01:34:12.580 uh,

01:34:13.120 Al Sharpton relationship.

01:34:14.780 Oh yeah,

01:34:15.340 yeah,

01:34:15.520 yeah.

01:34:15.700 No,

01:34:15.900 Roger was not pals with,

01:34:17.920 with,

01:34:18.640 uh,

01:34:19.420 Al.

01:34:19.800 He just knew,

01:34:20.720 you know,

01:34:21.580 I,

01:34:21.800 I think the,

01:34:22.800 the calls were made in advance.

01:34:25.140 Listen,

01:34:25.460 I'm going to,

01:34:25.940 I'm going to have to have a,

01:34:27.280 a rally in front of Fox news and,

01:34:29.960 uh,

01:34:30.480 you know,

01:34:30.800 just,

01:34:31.760 just,

01:34:32.380 we'll talk about it later.

01:34:33.400 And I think that's what he meant.

01:34:35.620 Yeah.

01:34:36.000 I don't know.

01:34:36.440 It's,

01:34:36.700 it,

01:34:36.800 they keep coming back together and being invited to each other's houses and

01:34:41.140 everything.

01:34:41.420 So maybe there is that element there.

01:34:43.100 There's something weird about this particular thing.

01:34:45.020 And it comes something you've been talking about a lot of like violating that,

01:34:49.020 that,

01:34:49.780 I don't know.

01:34:50.140 It's the sanctity part where like,

01:34:51.820 yes,

01:34:52.160 you'll have the oppression of,

01:34:54.220 of the woman from the left that they'll always relate with.

01:34:56.380 But here,

01:34:57.080 like the right seems to be being upset about this particular tweet.

01:35:00.380 And maybe I,

01:35:01.220 you're talking about a woman's bleeding face.

01:35:03.220 There's something that just gutturally changes you about that.

01:35:07.900 Yes.

01:35:08.340 Uh,

01:35:08.560 and it's so,

01:35:09.340 so far a lot of people on the right are really upset about this and it's

01:35:12.660 taking a different life than some of his previous tweets.

01:35:17.380 Back in just a minute with some insight from California about Californians.

01:35:28.320 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:35:32.780 Mercury.

01:35:33.300 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:35:41.340 Hello,

01:35:41.940 America from Los Angeles,

01:35:43.980 California in the Mercury studios,

01:35:45.580 uh,

01:35:46.740 at the Pacific.

01:35:47.420 We are so glad that you have joined us last night.

01:35:51.660 I,

01:35:52.040 um,

01:35:52.380 I had dinner at,

01:35:53.820 um,

01:35:54.420 here in the Los Angeles area at a very trendy,

01:35:57.280 uh,

01:35:58.000 restaurant.

01:35:58.460 And it was,

01:35:59.660 um,

01:36:00.480 a dinner that,

01:36:01.540 um,

01:36:02.220 was not my dinner.

01:36:03.700 It was,

01:36:04.040 um,

01:36:04.920 held,

01:36:05.520 I guess you would say kind of in my honor or whatever.

01:36:08.380 I was kind of like the bearded lady.

01:36:10.740 Uh,

01:36:11.060 I think,

01:36:11.680 um,

01:36:12.260 a friend of mine here in Los Angeles that is a,

01:36:14.500 a very big VC guy.

01:36:16.740 Uh,

01:36:17.140 when he found out I was coming to LA said,

01:36:19.080 Glenn,

01:36:19.420 I want you to meet some of my friends.

01:36:20.900 We have to have dinner.

01:36:22.340 Uh,

01:36:22.740 they have to hear you speak.

01:36:23.980 And I said,

01:36:25.000 okay.

01:36:25.300 And they,

01:36:25.900 he said,

01:36:26.460 you know,

01:36:27.520 what would be,

01:36:28.960 you know,

01:36:29.720 what would be helpful to you?

01:36:31.380 Who would,

01:36:31.960 what kind of people would you like to speak to?

01:36:33.960 And I said,

01:36:34.500 anybody who has taken off their team Jersey or about to take off their team

01:36:40.040 Jersey and wants to fix the country and wants to heal,

01:36:44.920 uh,

01:36:45.740 and just doesn't want to talk about politics.

01:36:47.700 So there were about 20 people that showed up and I,

01:36:50.400 I wish I could give you more information than I can,

01:36:53.400 but,

01:36:53.660 uh,

01:36:54.400 this was one of those meetings that was up in a,

01:36:56.560 you know,

01:36:57.020 up in a,

01:36:57.560 uh,

01:36:58.340 upstairs room all by ourselves.

01:37:00.340 And,

01:37:00.720 and when I came out,

01:37:02.320 there were paparazzi there.

01:37:04.860 Uh,

01:37:05.300 I mean,

01:37:05.560 it was,

01:37:05.960 it was weird.

01:37:07.040 Uh,

01:37:07.520 and we kind of have a,

01:37:09.300 a confidentiality agreement of,

01:37:11.980 I'm not going to share what they say.

01:37:14.060 They're not going to share what I say.

01:37:15.400 We're just going to be able to talk to each other,

01:37:17.940 uh,

01:37:18.760 openly about anything.

01:37:20.360 Um,

01:37:22.720 Robert who runs,

01:37:24.240 uh,

01:37:25.040 real estate agents,

01:37:25.920 I trust.com.

01:37:27.140 Uh,

01:37:27.540 Robert is,

01:37:28.380 uh,

01:37:29.540 my closest,

01:37:30.700 uh,

01:37:31.280 friend.

01:37:31.900 And I say that,

01:37:32.740 um,

01:37:33.880 you know,

01:37:34.260 with Pat sitting right there,

01:37:35.620 Pat's,

01:37:36.160 uh,

01:37:36.720 one of my closest friends as well.

01:37:38.700 Pat and Robert,

01:37:39.920 uh,

01:37:40.700 are dear,

01:37:41.600 dear friends.

01:37:42.680 Robert is more like my brother.

01:37:44.780 Um,

01:37:45.340 as he grew up with me and we spent,

01:37:49.100 uh,

01:37:49.600 you know,

01:37:50.000 our childhoods together and his family is kind of,

01:37:53.900 or my family is kind of his family in many ways.

01:37:56.620 Uh,

01:37:57.120 and,

01:37:57.900 uh,

01:37:58.620 and he also tells me like Pat does the hard truth that really nobody else will.

01:38:04.780 And he came into me,

01:38:06.460 it was about eight months ago where you said,

01:38:10.940 uh,

01:38:11.820 you know,

01:38:12.960 I have to tell you something,

01:38:14.020 Glenn,

01:38:15.020 uh,

01:38:15.800 I've known you your whole childhood and your,

01:38:18.020 your whole life has been about a mission.

01:38:20.220 And I can't figure out your mission anymore.

01:38:23.220 And I don't want to work with you if we're not on a mission.

01:38:26.960 And,

01:38:27.500 uh,

01:38:28.560 uh,

01:38:29.020 it was a,

01:38:30.100 it was true.

01:38:31.080 And I said,

01:38:31.800 you're right because I can't find it anymore.

01:38:35.160 I don't know how,

01:38:36.220 I don't know what to do.

01:38:37.240 I don't know an answer.

01:38:38.480 We're not going back to the mall and,

01:38:40.400 you know,

01:38:40.960 March on Washington.

01:38:41.860 Cause that's not going to work.

01:38:44.000 And so he,

01:38:45.760 and another guy had said something to me that really woke me up.

01:38:50.540 And,

01:38:51.080 uh,

01:38:51.700 so I have been for the last four to six months,

01:38:54.300 really on the trail of something that I think will really work.

01:39:00.260 When I started talking about it on the air,

01:39:02.460 and more importantly,

01:39:03.600 I started talking about it about four months ago internally.

01:39:07.560 Robert didn't like the answer.

01:39:09.020 Did you?

01:39:09.520 I did not.

01:39:10.240 Yeah.

01:39:10.480 right.

01:39:11.220 And,

01:39:11.700 uh,

01:39:12.000 and the answer is what I've been talking about here for the last few weeks.

01:39:15.420 And that is,

01:39:16.400 uh,

01:39:17.700 we got to change our language and we have to get inside and start talking to

01:39:23.400 people because politics will only kill us.

01:39:27.940 We have to first restore the trust in one another that we're not monsters on

01:39:33.880 our side or on their side.

01:39:36.260 And when I said that to Robert,

01:39:38.360 uh,

01:39:39.420 you,

01:39:39.960 uh,

01:39:41.520 didn't agree.

01:39:43.440 Um,

01:39:44.100 it's been a long journey.

01:39:47.240 Um,

01:39:48.440 you know,

01:39:48.860 the dinner last night,

01:39:50.200 I didn't want to be there.

01:39:51.980 I didn't want to go.

01:39:53.440 Um,

01:39:54.700 I just,

01:39:55.380 just not my favorite thing to sit in a room with a bunch of people who don't

01:39:59.700 share my viewpoints,

01:40:02.260 maybe my values.

01:40:03.260 I don't know.

01:40:04.280 And so I just,

01:40:05.320 I just didn't want to be there.

01:40:06.360 I just didn't see.

01:40:07.400 Yeah.

01:40:07.920 Why are we,

01:40:08.320 why are we here?

01:40:08.840 Okay.

01:40:09.200 So when you left a,

01:40:12.760 do you think the majority of the room do share your values?

01:40:18.540 Yes.

01:40:19.220 Yes.

01:40:19.760 So that was a surprise in some,

01:40:22.400 in some regard.

01:40:23.120 Yes.

01:40:23.400 Okay.

01:40:24.300 Um,

01:40:24.740 and I think that's true with almost everybody I've met.

01:40:28.180 I meet politicians and I meet hardcore,

01:40:31.860 uh,

01:40:33.320 it's the party.

01:40:34.160 We got to win for the party.

01:40:35.280 I,

01:40:35.480 I don't find that on either side.

01:40:38.480 Um,

01:40:38.880 but I find it in people that I disagree with politically a lot.

01:40:45.340 If you listen and you know how to talk to them.

01:40:48.500 So what did you observe last night?

01:40:50.720 So I want to step back just a little bit and say that for some time,

01:40:56.300 it's been really kind of confusing and disheartening at times because 10 years ago,

01:41:03.380 you started teaching me about politics and the differences between progressives.

01:41:09.660 And so we went down this journey and it was like,

01:41:12.640 Oh,

01:41:12.840 the mission's really clear.

01:41:13.980 I get it.

01:41:14.780 And then all of a sudden things just went,

01:41:16.920 what,

01:41:17.200 what,

01:41:17.520 what,

01:41:17.760 what,

01:41:17.980 what just happened?

01:41:18.700 Now what?

01:41:19.560 We're talking to progressives.

01:41:20.940 I thought you said progressives are cancer.

01:41:22.660 Yeah,

01:41:22.940 exactly.

01:41:24.040 And so that was my kind of your stumbling block.

01:41:27.860 Yeah.

01:41:28.200 And also kind of going into the lion's den,

01:41:30.760 if you will,

01:41:31.260 last night,

01:41:31.820 it was like,

01:41:32.240 I don't want to get this stuff rammed down my throat.

01:41:35.020 I,

01:41:35.200 you know,

01:41:35.420 I just,

01:41:35.900 it's just,

01:41:36.680 it's not in my core.

01:41:38.000 I don't,

01:41:38.340 I'm not going to believe it.

01:41:39.180 I can't get there.

01:41:40.460 What I saw last night though was,

01:41:42.260 and I've seen it internally,

01:41:43.200 even in our own building lately is that,

01:41:46.460 cause we work with people have,

01:41:47.600 who have different.

01:41:48.400 Yeah.

01:41:48.760 Yeah.

01:41:49.780 So what I saw last night was a couple of things.

01:41:52.420 And one of them was that the,

01:41:54.620 the host of the event did a masterful job because he brought people to the table.

01:41:59.740 Like you said,

01:42:00.240 that had either taken off the journey or Jersey or wanted to.

01:42:04.300 Right.

01:42:05.220 But what I saw was,

01:42:06.520 no,

01:42:06.620 how,

01:42:07.120 no,

01:42:07.340 no,

01:42:07.440 no,

01:42:07.560 no,

01:42:07.700 exactly.

01:42:08.240 They didn't know how,

01:42:08.900 exactly.

01:42:09.520 And,

01:42:09.720 and,

01:42:10.000 and it was two things that really jumped out at me.

01:42:12.580 One was that they were open and I,

01:42:16.380 that's not typical,

01:42:17.360 right?

01:42:18.680 You would expect that you'd walk into a room very closed and maybe even somewhat hostile.

01:42:23.460 Nothing could be further from the truth.

01:42:25.180 They were open.

01:42:26.600 They were wearing it on their sleeve.

01:42:28.240 Just good,

01:42:29.100 decent people.

01:42:30.000 And they were afraid of both sides of the aisle.

01:42:34.680 I was there nine years ago.

01:42:36.060 So that's what we held in common.

01:42:39.080 Yeah.

01:42:39.240 I was exactly where they were nine years ago and I was going,

01:42:42.160 I was freaking out.

01:42:43.280 Yeah.

01:42:43.920 So what I saw in them was I'm at least for tonight,

01:42:48.080 I'm going to be open and I'm going to come with an open mind and listen to the,

01:42:52.460 the host and his guest,

01:42:54.880 Glenn.

01:42:55.040 But what I saw throughout the evening though,

01:42:57.920 was that they,

01:42:58.820 even when we went around the room and they said who they were and what they did and kind

01:43:02.480 of where they were.

01:43:03.220 Yeah.

01:43:04.060 You saw a softening start there,

01:43:05.780 but there was still,

01:43:06.860 they,

01:43:07.100 they kind of made their positions pretty clear.

01:43:09.440 Yes,

01:43:09.860 they did.

01:43:10.400 Right.

01:43:10.880 Yes,

01:43:11.080 they did.

01:43:11.360 Especially the guy,

01:43:12.340 healthcare,

01:43:13.140 universal healthcare and gun control.

01:43:15.560 What are you people thinking?

01:43:17.240 My gosh.

01:43:18.100 Almost that strong.

01:43:18.900 Right.

01:43:19.220 Yeah.

01:43:19.400 But what I saw as the evening progressed was because of your language and your absolute

01:43:27.700 openness to,

01:43:29.180 I'm here to listen.

01:43:30.160 I want to have the conversation.

01:43:32.720 You at no time during the evening,

01:43:35.540 did you waver from who you were and what your values were and what your beliefs in the

01:43:42.420 way that the direction of the country needed to proceed never wavered.

01:43:45.600 But what I saw was that there was an openness to you,

01:43:48.760 which took their defenses down.

01:43:51.180 And the language that was being spoken by the end of the evening was almost in reverence

01:43:55.880 to your path.

01:43:58.880 And what they were seeking from you was,

01:44:00.860 okay,

01:44:01.300 we agree.

01:44:03.680 Now kind of how are we going to get there and how do we resolve these issues that are

01:44:08.560 major issues?

01:44:09.780 And what's amazing is there,

01:44:10.920 the room kind of split.

01:44:12.540 There were those who still couldn't get past the agenda of politics and they kept saying,

01:44:20.480 yes,

01:44:20.780 but we need to get that,

01:44:23.480 you know,

01:44:23.720 you and Van Jones need to get together.

01:44:25.600 And I kept saying,

01:44:26.520 no,

01:44:27.660 no.

01:44:28.660 First of all,

01:44:29.220 I don't know if Van Jones is an honest broker and I've done my homework on Van Jones,

01:44:34.460 but it won't be fixed a by two people.

01:44:40.360 It's not going to be fixed that way.

01:44:42.140 It has to be modeled by many people.

01:44:45.740 And the other is it cannot be about politics.

01:44:50.580 You're not going to be able to solve this politically.

01:44:54.220 You have to solve first the distrust and the hatred of one another.

01:45:00.260 Once we trust one another,

01:45:02.920 not politicians,

01:45:04.180 no politicians can be involved.

01:45:06.360 No pundits,

01:45:07.340 no parties,

01:45:08.340 none of that can be involved.

01:45:10.420 Neighbors need to talk to neighbors.

01:45:13.820 And when that happens,

01:45:15.180 you then have a chance because we'll start to elect different kinds of people.

01:45:20.820 Well,

01:45:21.380 and I think there's a role for those types.

01:45:24.920 These,

01:45:25.160 these people are brilliant.

01:45:26.840 They are wildly successful.

01:45:29.200 They can be the future.

01:45:30.780 They can help lead the conversation.

01:45:33.000 These people,

01:45:33.700 I wish I could tell you who they,

01:45:35.100 who they were.

01:45:36.180 You may not know their names.

01:45:37.760 Some of their names you would know,

01:45:39.040 but you wouldn't know necessarily their names,

01:45:40.840 but you would definitely know the products and the things that they have invented and are doing right now.

01:45:47.500 These were big Silicon Valley movers and shakers that do control a lot of the dialogue.

01:45:57.860 And to hear them talk about socialists and how some of them I spoke to privately,

01:46:05.640 some of them were as afraid,

01:46:09.220 if not more so of the left than they were of the right.

01:46:13.960 And they were very concerned about the right,

01:46:15.900 but they were very concerned about freedom of speech on campuses,

01:46:20.900 very concerned about the violence that is happening now from the left.

01:46:26.100 I was,

01:46:27.560 they were very open and honest and it was really refreshing to hear.

01:46:32.540 They also,

01:46:33.540 you know,

01:46:33.780 they all had a deep problem with Donald Trump,

01:46:37.280 but it was interesting.

01:46:38.300 One guy said to me,

01:46:39.280 he was concerned about the socialist leanings of Donald Trump because he felt that in 2020,

01:46:48.880 there was a chance that we would have two socialists running.

01:46:53.520 One would be a Donald Trump sort of big government socialism.

01:46:58.220 And the other was a,

01:47:00.000 an actual Bernie Sanders type socialist.

01:47:02.660 And they were afraid it wouldn't be the nice kind old man,

01:47:06.560 Bernie Sanders.

01:47:07.180 It would be a lion.

01:47:09.320 And I was,

01:47:11.760 and not everybody of course held that view.

01:47:14.160 That's one guy who told me that.

01:47:16.700 And I found that to be so far away from where they were nine months ago.

01:47:24.360 Yeah.

01:47:24.480 Well,

01:47:24.620 remember they,

01:47:25.640 part of the conversation was how hypocritical they felt because things like state rights.

01:47:30.140 Oh my gosh.

01:47:31.500 To hear one of the guys say,

01:47:33.440 and I said this to him,

01:47:35.280 I said,

01:47:35.600 do you know what that would mean?

01:47:36.840 If you would go on television and say that he said,

01:47:39.880 we are so hypocritical.

01:47:41.660 He said,

01:47:42.460 we've been against state rights and we've never understood when people like you said state rights,

01:47:49.080 we immediately said you're a racist.

01:47:51.660 And he said,

01:47:52.900 I found myself saying,

01:47:55.120 you know what?

01:47:55.660 Then California.

01:47:57.060 Oh my gosh.

01:47:58.460 I understand state rights.

01:48:01.140 I looked at him and the room was nodding their head.

01:48:06.180 And this is the,

01:48:07.720 this is why I'm saying we have an opportunity here.

01:48:11.160 Unlike we've ever seen before.

01:48:13.960 We,

01:48:14.840 if we take and we bash as they're having these epiphanies themselves in their own circles,

01:48:21.640 if we bash their head into the ground,

01:48:24.580 you're going to miss the opportunity.

01:48:27.300 They're figuring things out.

01:48:30.960 I mean,

01:48:31.200 I talked about the bill of rights.

01:48:33.460 Heads were nodding.

01:48:35.580 You're not talking to progressive,

01:48:37.800 you know,

01:48:38.780 Hollywood Silicon Valley liberals about the bill of rights and have them,

01:48:43.980 especially the women's right to vote.

01:48:46.820 I mean,

01:48:47.280 I went right to where their hot buttons were,

01:48:50.600 but I spoke their language and they understood.

01:48:53.940 I love the,

01:48:55.880 uh,

01:48:56.180 the notion as well as the,

01:48:58.140 the laboratories,

01:48:59.920 the States has laboratories.

01:49:01.400 Yes.

01:49:01.940 And is that maybe not the best way forward?

01:49:05.760 Where were the,

01:49:06.600 where the,

01:49:06.940 the,

01:49:07.340 the ideas,

01:49:08.500 the winning ideas will actually emerge from.

01:49:10.600 So we were talking last night.

01:49:12.560 Okay,

01:49:12.760 Glenn,

01:49:13.060 so how do you solve healthcare?

01:49:14.000 And I said,

01:49:14.520 if you think I'm going to solve healthcare,

01:49:16.540 but you're wrong,

01:49:18.260 but I know the government won't,

01:49:20.800 but that's why we have 50 laboratories.

01:49:23.380 If California wants to do universal healthcare,

01:49:27.260 don't come back into the rest of the States,

01:49:29.100 but do it.

01:49:30.800 If Romney care would have worked in Massachusetts,

01:49:33.740 the country would support it,

01:49:36.700 but it doesn't work.

01:49:38.860 So free the States up to do what they think is right.

01:49:44.300 We have a real chance to soften hearts one.

01:49:49.060 And at least truly understand each other based on facts and what we really

01:49:54.700 believe.

01:49:55.400 Once we trust each other,

01:49:57.260 we can make a difference.

01:49:59.940 And I urge you to join me on this journey.

01:50:02.440 It's going to be a tough one.

01:50:03.760 And a lot of people on your own friends on your side are going to say,

01:50:06.760 that's not,

01:50:08.020 they're going to be just like Robert.

01:50:10.140 That's not going to work.

01:50:11.160 But when you actually practice it,

01:50:13.580 you will see it work and it will blow you away.

01:50:17.640 Sponsor.

01:50:17.960 This half hour is American financing.

01:50:20.120 Have you found your dream home?

01:50:23.740 for your whole life.

01:50:24.880 Now all you have to do is get past the dreaded mortgage process,

01:50:27.620 but it doesn't have to be dreaded.

01:50:29.620 If you are ready to buy or refinance,

01:50:32.280 you need consultants that are dedicated to helping you make the smart

01:50:35.960 mortgage decisions that align with your unique financial goals.

01:50:41.180 When you go into a bank,

01:50:42.500 Oh,

01:50:42.680 I hope they give me the loan.

01:50:43.880 They're not giving it to you.

01:50:44.880 They're selling it to you.

01:50:46.200 And they are trying to get the best deal for them because they get all kinds of

01:50:51.780 incentives.

01:50:53.360 American financial,

01:50:54.660 uh,

01:51:00.000 all their people are salaried and they're not getting kickbacks from the

01:51:03.800 bank.

01:51:04.200 So their job is to find the best loan for you.

01:51:08.580 American financing.

01:51:09.740 They're now doing reverse mortgages.

01:51:12.080 Reverse mortgages can sometimes be a good way to increase monthly cash flow with no
