The Glenn Beck Program - 7⧸12⧸17 - Conservatives don't read？ (David French and Brian Lilley Join Glenn)

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

00:00:07.980 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:11.560 Talk to Alan Dershowitz and Robbie George, both of them brilliant, brilliant men.

00:00:19.840 One, a brilliant professor at Princeton University

00:00:27.240 and one of the biggest names in the conservative movement, Robbie George.

00:00:31.300 I talked to him about, is this jail-worthy?

00:00:34.580 Is this treason? What is this, if anything?

00:00:39.460 He said the same thing that Alan Dershowitz said.

00:00:42.640 Legally, absolutely nothing can be done.

00:00:47.380 Legally, he's not going to jail.

00:00:50.840 Legally, there's no crime here.

00:00:54.080 All right, so that's good news.

00:00:55.940 But what else was their advice?

00:00:59.040 We'll get to that coming up in just a second.

00:01:01.320 Why this story actually does matter to you in your life,

00:01:05.880 what it means, and the future.

00:01:09.520 Are we replaying the past?

00:01:12.240 We'll look at that beginning right now.

00:01:14.160 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:36.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:40.300 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:45.780 Glad that you are here.

00:01:47.600 Donald Trump said yesterday that his son was open, transparent, and innocent.

00:01:53.980 He also said he was a very classy boy.

00:01:57.640 What was the first thing that he said?

00:01:59.660 Something like it.

00:02:00.440 He's a high-quality guy or something?

00:02:01.940 High-quality.

00:02:02.400 Big, beautiful doors at his house.

00:02:05.160 High-quality person.

00:02:05.620 High-quality person.

00:02:05.860 High-quality.

00:02:07.580 Which I thought was a funny, very Trump statement.

00:02:11.200 He did come out later and say that he was open, transparent, and innocent.

00:02:16.240 Okay.

00:02:16.500 Open and transparent?

00:02:20.640 No.

00:02:22.300 But he did release the document yesterday, about halfway through this program,

00:02:27.740 that showed the emails.

00:02:30.200 But that is because, it's important to remember, the New York Times,

00:02:34.300 whoever is leaking these, which is a conversation we have to have,

00:02:38.220 who leaked this email?

00:02:41.560 Who had a copy of this email?

00:02:43.320 Who leaked this email to the New York Times?

00:02:46.620 How'd they get that?

00:02:50.440 Donald Trump Jr. had told us that Kushner and Manafort had no idea what the meeting was about.

00:02:57.360 But if you look at the email chain, in the CC was Kushner and Manafort.

00:03:03.860 So, is it possible that one of them leaked this email, knowing that it was coming out,

00:03:10.460 and, you know, a couple of weeks ago, knowing that they had already told the FBI about this meeting,

00:03:17.900 and so, at some point, the investigation is going to lead to this,

00:03:21.960 I want to make sure that I look like I'm clean.

00:03:25.420 Manafort, if you know,

00:03:27.980 Manafort,

00:03:28.780 Manafort, in the New York Times,

00:03:31.600 and from the KGB woman,

00:03:34.460 or the woman who's definitely not KGB,

00:03:37.320 she said,

00:03:39.020 Manafort was just,

00:03:40.480 he was just looking at his,

00:03:41.880 you know,

00:03:42.960 his BlackBerry or his iPad,

00:03:44.880 the whole time.

00:03:45.640 He wasn't even paying attention.

00:03:47.680 And Kushner,

00:03:48.480 he left within two minutes.

00:03:49.740 So, both of those two were kind of cleared in some sort of way by the Russian woman.

00:04:00.040 I know that Donald Jr. tried to clear them,

00:04:02.600 but unfortunately, his email had the CC to both of them,

00:04:06.180 so they both knew what this meeting was all about.

00:04:10.520 That's not exactly, what was it,

00:04:12.800 open and transparent.

00:04:14.260 And, you know,

00:04:16.500 when you release something

00:04:17.640 because the feds are going to release it

00:04:19.840 or the press is going to release it

00:04:21.240 within a few minutes,

00:04:23.240 it doesn't really count like,

00:04:25.040 oh, I wanted to get it out there.

00:04:26.760 You did a good job

00:04:28.060 because now people are able to say,

00:04:30.520 hey, he released this.

00:04:32.360 It didn't come from the news.

00:04:34.800 But it also works against you

00:04:36.960 if you have been on the front line

00:04:38.140 saying fake news, fake news, fake news,

00:04:39.960 because we can easily say

00:04:41.420 it's not fake news.

00:04:42.560 Because he released this.

00:04:45.360 So, the questions we have to ask are,

00:04:48.740 if this isn't a crime,

00:04:51.980 if this isn't

00:04:53.360 something that you're going to go to jail for,

00:04:59.040 this is really just a sin.

00:05:02.780 And is this a sin of what?

00:05:06.480 Is it a sin of commission or omission?

00:05:10.060 Is this a sin of impeachable status?

00:05:19.900 Or is this just a sin

00:05:22.000 that we all forgive and move on?

00:05:24.320 Or is this something that we all defend?

00:05:28.440 And that's where we have to look.

00:05:31.420 And I want to talk to you,

00:05:33.640 not as a guy who,

00:05:34.940 I want to hear from you.

00:05:37.740 I don't want to tell you what to think.

00:05:42.240 I really want to have a conversation with you

00:05:45.220 because I want to know how you are thinking.

00:05:48.680 I want to know how you are viewing this.

00:05:52.640 I want to give you a chance to vent.

00:05:56.380 I want to give you a chance to reason and think.

00:06:00.900 So, the conversation that I'd like to have with you

00:06:06.080 is one where I am pushing and prodding

00:06:09.700 and asking questions,

00:06:11.220 but I'm going to do that on both sides.

00:06:13.380 I don't want to hear from people

00:06:17.720 who are wearing a team jersey.

00:06:21.540 If you are strongly never Trump,

00:06:26.360 strongly always Trump,

00:06:28.740 strongly, you know, one side or another,

00:06:32.060 I really want to hear from people

00:06:33.920 who are struggling with this

00:06:35.660 or have made up their mind

00:06:40.340 one way or another

00:06:41.660 that can help others.

00:06:44.200 But you're not just a robot

00:06:47.140 on I got to get Donald Trump out.

00:06:49.880 I got to keep Donald Trump in.

00:06:52.300 I want to talk to real people.

00:06:58.200 Here's what I want to preface this with.

00:07:00.640 Before this election,

00:07:06.760 I said,

00:07:08.880 we have to know,

00:07:12.240 we have to get to a place

00:07:14.980 to where we ask ourselves

00:07:17.040 in advance of a scandal,

00:07:19.680 does it matter?

00:07:21.800 And this comes from

00:07:23.080 the Hillary Clinton,

00:07:25.720 Bill Clinton debacle of the 90s.

00:07:28.260 Does this matter?

00:07:32.560 Here's what happened in the 90s,

00:07:34.360 as you remember.

00:07:35.760 The left said,

00:07:37.360 he didn't.

00:07:38.100 We said, yes, he did.

00:07:39.120 No, he didn't.

00:07:39.680 Yes, he did.

00:07:40.420 No, he didn't.

00:07:40.960 Yes, he did.

00:07:41.460 No, he didn't.

00:07:41.880 Yes, he did.

00:07:42.300 No, he didn't.

00:07:42.820 For about eight months.

00:07:44.560 And then all of a sudden,

00:07:45.520 it was revealed that,

00:07:46.980 oh my gosh,

00:07:47.780 yes, he did.

00:07:49.800 Then what did they do?

00:07:51.560 Doesn't matter.

00:07:52.480 Yes, it does.

00:07:53.480 No, it doesn't.

00:07:54.080 Yes, it does.

00:07:55.220 Then why were we arguing

00:07:56.580 about this for so long?

00:07:58.260 Well, it matters to him personally.

00:08:02.640 This is a personal sin.

00:08:05.100 This doesn't have anything to do

00:08:06.700 with him being president.

00:08:10.060 Yes, it does.

00:08:11.040 The president can't lie

00:08:12.340 to the American people.

00:08:14.460 It was a personal lie.

00:08:16.340 Doesn't matter.

00:08:17.120 Yes, it does.

00:08:17.780 No, it doesn't.

00:08:18.400 Yes, it does.

00:08:19.160 Oh my gosh.

00:08:21.700 Now, I want to talk to you

00:08:23.880 about the after effects.

00:08:25.420 You most likely argued

00:08:30.120 that a sin about sex

00:08:32.580 in a marriage

00:08:33.960 doesn't matter.

00:08:37.080 And so what happened was

00:08:38.360 we went through about eight months

00:08:40.000 or a year,

00:08:40.820 maybe two,

00:08:42.300 of arguing about

00:08:44.060 is oral sex sex? 0.78

00:08:46.800 Depends on what the definition

00:08:48.200 of is is.

00:08:49.460 The damage

00:08:52.180 that this did

00:08:53.760 to the credibility,

00:08:55.380 the reason why

00:08:57.220 Hillary Clinton lost

00:08:58.820 is because

00:09:01.040 we didn't teach

00:09:02.960 the Clintons

00:09:03.820 a lesson

00:09:04.560 then.

00:09:06.300 If Hillary Clinton

00:09:07.800 would have said,

00:09:09.800 you know,

00:09:10.380 the truth does matter.

00:09:12.400 If she would have come out,

00:09:13.520 I've believed this,

00:09:14.440 I've said this

00:09:14.980 when it was happening.

00:09:16.140 If Hillary Clinton

00:09:17.480 would have

00:09:18.520 taken her luggage

00:09:20.020 and put it in front

00:09:21.920 of the White House

00:09:22.760 and said,

00:09:23.760 he's still my president

00:09:24.900 but he's not my husband

00:09:26.520 right now.

00:09:27.500 We may get back together

00:09:29.320 but no man

00:09:31.000 should ever treat

00:09:32.120 a woman like that. 0.98

00:09:33.620 The truth

00:09:34.220 does matter.

00:09:36.940 Bill Clinton

00:09:37.640 and Hillary Clinton's life

00:09:39.760 would be a lot different.

00:09:42.220 And Hillary Clinton 0.90

00:09:43.080 may have been president

00:09:44.540 in 2000.

00:09:46.140 because she would have

00:09:48.400 had credibility

00:09:49.160 and perhaps

00:09:50.340 she would have learned,

00:09:52.140 perhaps,

00:09:52.700 because we are talking

00:09:53.280 about the Clintons,

00:09:54.460 perhaps she would have learned

00:09:55.840 that doing,

00:09:58.000 standing up for the truth

00:09:59.480 pays off.

00:10:02.500 But instead,

00:10:04.260 her supporters said,

00:10:05.960 oh, it doesn't matter.

00:10:06.840 We love you anyway.

00:10:08.060 You guys can get things done.

00:10:10.420 And so,

00:10:11.180 the truth didn't matter.

00:10:12.440 Now, how has this affected

00:10:13.400 our kids?

00:10:14.540 Pat, do you have that stat

00:10:15.580 of...

00:10:16.900 I don't have it

00:10:17.880 in front of me

00:10:18.400 but I,

00:10:19.900 it seems to me

00:10:21.320 it was about

00:10:21.960 80% of 12-year-olds

00:10:24.500 in 2009 or 2010

00:10:26.220 that didn't believe

00:10:27.420 oral sex was sex. 0.77

00:10:28.560 Right.

00:10:28.900 It is meaningless

00:10:30.320 to them.

00:10:31.820 And they really

00:10:32.760 don't believe

00:10:33.800 that oral sex 1.00

00:10:34.800 is sex. 0.52

00:10:36.120 And they are embracing it.

00:10:37.340 What one generation

00:10:38.240 tolerates,

00:10:39.060 the next

00:10:39.780 embraces.

00:10:40.620 Now, remember,

00:10:44.040 I know how you feel

00:10:45.520 about your kids.

00:10:46.980 I know how you feel

00:10:48.480 about your life.

00:10:49.620 I know how you're feeling

00:10:50.840 now about

00:10:51.840 I haven't had a raise.

00:10:54.440 I haven't had a job.

00:10:55.780 I can't afford

00:10:56.520 my insurance.

00:10:57.640 I'm under attack

00:10:58.860 with my children.

00:11:02.040 I can't even send them

00:11:03.380 to school.

00:11:03.980 Right.

00:11:07.500 Right.

00:11:09.200 So, I can't tell you

00:11:10.620 I can't tell you

00:11:12.600 what you need to do.

00:11:14.000 You need to do

00:11:14.880 what you need to do.

00:11:19.480 But for me,

00:11:20.820 if we lose

00:11:22.420 the younger generation,

00:11:24.980 it's not even

00:11:26.060 Generation X.

00:11:27.020 I have something

00:11:27.520 that we're probably

00:11:28.220 not going to get around

00:11:28.860 to today.

00:11:29.540 A new study

00:11:30.140 on Generation Z.

00:11:31.700 Have you seen

00:11:32.180 Generation Z? 0.83

00:11:33.080 They are a direct result

00:11:37.260 of the Tea Party.

00:11:38.800 I'm convinced of it.

00:11:40.700 They are a direct result

00:11:42.160 of how bad

00:11:43.680 the government

00:11:45.800 has gotten

00:11:46.640 and how we have

00:11:49.060 infused things

00:11:50.360 into them

00:11:51.120 because of the Tea Party.

00:11:52.420 Standing up

00:11:52.980 for what is right

00:11:53.900 and standing up

00:11:55.680 for smaller government

00:11:56.860 and the truth

00:11:57.840 and transparency.

00:11:59.760 Generation Z 0.88

00:12:00.600 is not like

00:12:01.640 Generation X.

00:12:02.480 and there's

00:12:03.460 a new study out

00:12:04.120 that says

00:12:04.480 Democrats,

00:12:05.600 be warned,

00:12:06.900 Generation Z 0.88

00:12:07.840 is not

00:12:08.820 in your

00:12:10.540 roundhouse.

00:12:12.520 They're not with you.

00:12:15.640 So, what we do

00:12:17.100 with our children

00:12:17.980 right now

00:12:18.740 makes all the difference

00:12:20.020 in the world.

00:12:21.860 Now,

00:12:22.880 we know how it worked out

00:12:26.040 on oral sex, 0.96

00:12:27.700 an unintended

00:12:28.520 consequence.

00:12:30.360 we thought

00:12:32.040 we would teach

00:12:32.560 our children

00:12:32.920 about lies

00:12:33.860 and perhaps

00:12:35.440 we did

00:12:35.980 but what we did,

00:12:37.080 what we actually

00:12:37.700 taught them

00:12:38.280 was sex is meaningless.

00:12:40.480 Oral sex is meaningless. 0.97

00:12:41.940 It means nothing.

00:12:43.480 And they learned that

00:12:44.620 just from

00:12:45.260 us arguing

00:12:46.620 back and forth.

00:12:47.480 I don't know

00:12:49.620 what they're going

00:12:50.160 to learn

00:12:50.480 from this

00:12:50.880 but I know

00:12:51.420 they're going

00:12:51.740 to watch us

00:12:52.380 and they're going

00:12:52.720 to learn

00:12:53.060 something.

00:12:55.560 And so,

00:12:56.280 I want to be

00:12:56.700 really,

00:12:57.640 really careful

00:12:59.360 before we

00:13:01.120 engage

00:13:01.880 in arguments.

00:13:03.220 It's why

00:13:03.600 I'd like to

00:13:04.120 turn down

00:13:06.560 the volume

00:13:07.120 of this

00:13:08.040 and have

00:13:09.540 a reasonable

00:13:10.380 conversation

00:13:11.200 and that's

00:13:11.880 why I ask

00:13:12.340 for people

00:13:12.760 with no teams.

00:13:13.540 If you're

00:13:13.740 on a team

00:13:14.180 that's fine

00:13:14.760 as long

00:13:16.020 as you can

00:13:16.360 turn the

00:13:16.780 passion down

00:13:17.500 because I

00:13:17.920 don't want

00:13:18.480 to add

00:13:19.120 to the

00:13:20.320 name calling

00:13:21.240 and the

00:13:22.140 passion

00:13:22.820 because I

00:13:23.820 don't want

00:13:24.660 to set

00:13:25.220 begin to

00:13:26.400 set

00:13:26.800 the example

00:13:27.700 for our

00:13:28.760 children

00:13:29.140 before we

00:13:30.840 really know

00:13:31.440 what we're

00:13:31.820 doing

00:13:32.180 because we

00:13:33.400 don't have

00:13:33.760 all the facts

00:13:34.280 right yet.

00:13:34.760 and I'm

00:13:37.000 more concerned

00:13:37.720 about the

00:13:39.520 children,

00:13:40.720 our children

00:13:41.380 and what

00:13:41.980 we're teaching

00:13:42.440 them because

00:13:42.880 we all know

00:13:43.760 if we lose

00:13:44.940 our children

00:13:45.540 we're toast.

00:13:47.500 We already

00:13:48.560 know what the

00:13:49.340 left is teaching

00:13:50.220 their children.

00:13:51.660 We already

00:13:52.200 know what the

00:13:52.920 institutions are

00:13:54.140 teaching our

00:13:54.680 children.

00:13:55.520 We're the

00:13:56.160 last hope

00:13:57.480 with our

00:13:58.680 children.

00:14:00.660 So let's

00:14:01.500 be careful

00:14:02.080 as we

00:14:02.580 proceed today.

00:14:03.700 We're going

00:14:04.000 to take a

00:14:04.360 lot of

00:14:04.600 phone calls

00:14:05.080 today.

00:14:05.520 888-727-BECK.

00:14:07.440 There's a

00:14:07.920 couple of

00:14:08.220 things that I

00:14:08.700 do want to

00:14:09.100 talk to you

00:14:09.460 about.

00:14:09.780 Next hour I'm

00:14:10.460 going to talk

00:14:10.820 to you about

00:14:11.140 the unattended

00:14:11.820 consequences

00:14:12.560 of this

00:14:14.860 email because

00:14:15.860 I am

00:14:17.080 willing to

00:14:17.740 take Donald

00:14:18.500 Trump and

00:14:20.920 Donald Jr.

00:14:23.100 and I'm

00:14:23.460 willing to

00:14:24.040 say, okay,

00:14:24.800 they had

00:14:25.060 nothing to do

00:14:25.680 with it.

00:14:25.960 There was no

00:14:26.340 collusion.

00:14:26.860 There was this

00:14:27.200 that woman had 1.00

00:14:29.040 absolutely nothing

00:14:29.980 to say.

00:14:30.960 But I'm going

00:14:31.260 to paint up

00:14:31.780 and I believe

00:14:32.960 a realistic

00:14:33.780 scenario of

00:14:36.540 what did

00:14:38.040 happen that

00:14:39.860 they were

00:14:40.300 played and

00:14:42.840 because Donald

00:14:44.000 Trump was

00:14:44.480 willing to

00:14:45.240 take that

00:14:45.820 meeting,

00:14:47.700 what that

00:14:49.160 now means to

00:14:49.980 us in our

00:14:51.460 country today

00:14:52.400 and our

00:14:52.860 children,

00:14:53.620 and we have

00:14:54.440 to be aware

00:14:54.980 of it and

00:14:57.060 at least look

00:14:57.980 at it and

00:14:58.520 discuss it

00:14:59.380 before we

00:15:00.980 move forward.

00:15:02.140 And now

00:15:02.420 this, a

00:15:02.920 message from

00:15:03.400 Car Shield.

00:15:04.680 Driving season

00:15:05.440 is full swing.

00:15:06.380 Did you guys

00:15:07.160 take vacations?

00:15:08.180 Do you

00:15:08.440 the year younger

00:15:10.040 than I am?

00:15:10.920 How old are you?

00:15:11.360 34?

00:15:12.460 No.

00:15:13.700 5?

00:15:14.520 8?

00:15:15.300 41?

00:15:17.340 34?

00:15:18.980 I would have

00:15:19.660 met you

00:15:20.020 like at 7

00:15:20.880 years old.

00:15:22.180 No, I'm

00:15:22.560 a 40.

00:15:23.540 Are you in

00:15:24.000 your 40s?

00:15:24.900 Wow, are you

00:15:25.440 in your 40s?

00:15:26.200 Wow.

00:15:26.640 What are you

00:15:26.960 in your 400s?

00:15:28.280 No, it just

00:15:29.120 amazes me.

00:15:30.080 When did we

00:15:30.540 meet?

00:15:30.780 You were

00:15:30.940 18, 19,

00:15:31.700 20?

00:15:32.540 20?

00:15:33.540 I was, yeah.

00:15:34.600 20?

00:15:35.000 Holy cow, time 0.63

00:15:35.860 flies.

00:15:36.360 Anyway, did

00:15:36.880 you take the

00:15:37.900 vacations in the

00:15:39.000 station wagon and

00:15:40.240 stuff like that

00:15:40.920 and drive around?

00:15:42.040 We did do, we

00:15:42.860 never had a

00:15:43.220 station wagon, but

00:15:43.700 we did do one

00:15:44.460 long, one or two

00:15:45.600 long trips to

00:15:46.440 Florida in the

00:15:47.300 car and we all

00:15:48.420 piled in.

00:15:49.360 I saw a brand

00:15:50.040 new station wagon.

00:15:50.660 I was out in

00:15:51.160 LA.

00:15:51.580 I saw a brand

00:15:52.280 new station wagon

00:15:53.260 on the highway.

00:15:55.880 I hadn't seen a

00:15:56.720 station wagon in

00:15:57.480 years.

00:15:58.120 It was like a

00:15:58.500 Mercedes, I

00:16:00.420 think.

00:16:01.340 It was brand

00:16:02.160 new and I'm

00:16:02.680 looking at it

00:16:03.160 and I'm like,

00:16:04.000 a station wagon?

00:16:05.960 And there was

00:16:06.420 some part of me

00:16:07.140 that kind of

00:16:07.620 pined for it.

00:16:08.620 Did it have

00:16:09.000 wood paneling?

00:16:10.000 No.

00:16:10.520 No.

00:16:11.040 But that's not

00:16:11.680 a station wagon.

00:16:12.020 I know.

00:16:13.120 Wood paneling.

00:16:13.700 Well, we didn't

00:16:14.840 have wood paneling.

00:16:15.660 Ours was authentic

00:16:17.340 vinyl wood paneling.

00:16:18.740 So anyway, you

00:16:20.740 know, when you

00:16:21.080 take your vacation,

00:16:22.040 the road trip

00:16:22.560 across the country,

00:16:24.120 you're planning it

00:16:26.220 and right now it's

00:16:27.600 really quite

00:16:28.460 economical because

00:16:29.460 of, unless you're

00:16:30.100 going to California,

00:16:30.840 because of the gas

00:16:31.540 prices.

00:16:32.000 cars, however, you

00:16:34.260 have a breakdown and

00:16:35.960 that can ruin the

00:16:37.160 entire vacation.

00:16:38.780 Get extended

00:16:39.500 coverage now from

00:16:40.460 CarShield because

00:16:44.160 New air

00:16:44.700 conditioner, $1,500.

00:16:56.920 a used car or

00:16:58.300 your car is lapsing

00:16:59.980 because you're going

00:17:00.880 to keep it, which is

00:17:01.740 really smart, I don't

00:17:02.700 know why I bought a

00:17:03.460 new car every three

00:17:04.180 years, but if you

00:17:06.180 can hold on to your

00:17:08.220 car, which is a smart

00:17:09.140 thing to do, don't

00:17:10.740 let that, don't let,

00:17:12.120 don't drive around

00:17:53.420 The Glenn Beck

00:17:54.960 Program.

00:17:56.220 Mercury.

00:18:00.300 This is the Glenn Beck

00:18:02.500 Program.

00:18:04.140 All right.

00:18:04.960 Let's go to the phone.

00:18:08.020 Let's go to Terry in

00:18:09.600 North Carolina.

00:18:10.760 Hello, Terry.

00:18:11.560 Welcome.

00:18:12.920 Hey, Glenn.

00:18:13.400 How are you?

00:18:13.940 Very good.

00:18:14.380 I'm very confused and I'm

00:18:19.140 hurt.

00:18:20.260 Not like, you know,

00:18:21.240 broke my heart, hurt,

00:18:22.660 but I secretly supported

00:18:24.780 this guy.

00:18:25.920 I am.

00:18:26.500 It was very tribal because

00:18:28.500 of what he did to Barack

00:18:29.820 Obama.

00:18:30.800 By saying he's not a

00:18:32.200 citizen, it's probably the 0.84

00:18:33.560 most hurtful thing anyone

00:18:35.580 could have said about the

00:18:37.900 first black president, that 0.81

00:18:39.220 he's not even American.

00:18:40.280 But besides that, I went

00:18:42.360 with this guy because I'm

00:18:43.560 in rural health care.

00:18:44.520 That's my business.

00:18:45.880 And he promised to

00:18:47.760 support rural health care

00:18:49.360 and he will never get to

00:18:51.680 support rural health care

00:18:52.980 because of greed.

00:18:54.620 And that's the bottom

00:18:55.860 line, Glenn.

00:18:56.700 Anyone can say what they

00:18:58.080 want about whether it's

00:18:58.980 right or wrong.

00:19:00.040 This was simple greed.

00:19:01.600 This is how they've

00:19:02.360 operated.

00:19:02.900 Okay, so Terry, so let

00:19:05.240 me, because you're

00:19:06.180 coming with, you're

00:19:07.480 coming with some other

00:19:08.280 things and I want to try

00:19:10.280 to keep you focused on

00:19:11.460 just this.

00:19:13.220 How does this affect you

00:19:15.740 and where are you

00:19:16.980 standing on this?

00:19:18.500 It affects my pocketbook

00:19:20.280 because he's never going

00:19:22.100 to get the agenda that he

00:19:24.160 ran on through because of

00:19:27.180 this nonsense.

00:19:29.080 You know, it's like

00:19:29.880 everybody knows a dog

00:19:31.500 that'll take a bone will 0.56

00:19:33.020 bring a bone. 0.99

00:19:34.440 And they were smart

00:19:35.660 enough.

00:19:36.100 Paul Manafort knew that

00:19:38.020 this was a bad idea and

00:19:39.620 said nothing.

00:19:41.020 I can't forgive Eric

00:19:43.140 Trump because it is what

00:19:44.840 it is.

00:19:45.360 I can't forgive Jared

00:19:46.600 Krishna, but if you know

00:19:47.620 the Krishna family, you

00:19:48.840 know that is what it is.

00:19:50.620 But Paul Manafort was

00:19:52.280 there and he knew that

00:19:55.140 this was not what you

00:19:56.460 really, this is not

00:19:57.560 going to fly.

00:19:58.260 All right, Terry, I

00:19:59.400 appreciate your phone

00:20:00.340 call.

00:20:00.540 Well, thank you for

00:20:01.020 having a reasonable

00:20:02.600 conversation.

00:20:03.480 You're up next.

00:20:04.420 I want to hear all

00:20:05.080 points of view.

00:20:05.960 I want to hear from you

00:20:06.720 today.

00:20:07.100 888-727-BECK.

00:20:09.060 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:21.080 Mercury.

00:20:25.560 This is the Glenn Beck

00:20:27.000 Program.

00:20:32.740 David French from the

00:20:33.740 National Review is on

00:20:34.580 with us.

00:20:34.880 Coming up in about 35

00:20:37.640 minutes.

00:20:38.300 I want to play some

00:20:39.840 audio from Alan

00:20:43.020 Dershowitz, who was

00:20:44.440 very clear with me

00:20:45.660 yesterday afternoon on

00:20:47.200 the TV show.

00:20:48.580 There's no crime here.

00:20:50.320 There's no case here.

00:20:52.640 There's zero case here.

00:20:54.560 But what he had to say

00:20:56.020 after that and what he

00:20:57.660 had to say, what Robbie

00:20:58.700 George from Princeton,

00:21:00.580 who is just one of the

00:21:02.020 more ethical men I

00:21:03.240 know, and a, would you

00:21:06.660 even, I would put him in

00:21:07.940 the William F.

00:21:08.880 Buckley kind of brain

00:21:12.960 crowd, if you will, for the

00:21:15.460 conservative movement.

00:21:16.700 He's very behind the

00:21:18.040 scenes, but he is one of

00:21:19.920 the real intellectual

00:21:20.760 leaders of the

00:21:21.620 conservative movement.

00:21:22.340 And he had some real

00:21:23.940 advice for us.

00:21:25.740 And I believe Robbie

00:21:26.880 George supported Donald

00:21:28.980 Trump.

00:21:29.420 Did he not?

00:21:30.840 I'm not sure.

00:21:31.300 You'll have to look that

00:21:31.840 up.

00:21:32.060 But let's go to the

00:21:33.020 phones.

00:21:33.460 Ryan in Texas.

00:21:35.120 Hello, Ryan.

00:21:35.680 You're on the Glenn Beck

00:21:36.360 program.

00:21:38.340 Hi, Glenn.

00:21:38.960 How are you doing this

00:21:39.400 morning?

00:21:39.760 Very good.

00:21:41.480 Well, the past two weeks

00:21:42.780 you've been soliciting our

00:21:44.340 opinions and you've been

00:21:45.340 talking about, you know,

00:21:47.100 the state of life in

00:21:48.760 America.

00:21:49.460 And you've been asking us

00:21:50.620 how we feel.

00:21:51.380 And a couple of years

00:21:52.860 ago, a friend turned me

00:21:54.100 on to the book, The

00:21:54.860 Fourth Turning.

00:21:55.540 And I know you've read it

00:21:56.300 as well.

00:21:56.800 Oh, yeah.

00:21:57.440 And last two weeks, man,

00:21:59.040 you've been saying things

00:22:00.060 that to me had been

00:22:00.800 lining up.

00:22:02.760 We're transitioning from

00:22:03.920 the unraveling to the

00:22:04.820 crisis.

00:22:05.360 And during the unraveling,

00:22:07.000 people lose trust in

00:22:08.400 institutions.

00:22:09.320 In the Clintons, it was

00:22:11.380 the media, because

00:22:12.520 immediately after the

00:22:13.240 Clintons, you had Fox

00:22:14.040 News just emerge on the

00:22:15.560 media scene.

00:22:16.560 And then now that we've

00:22:18.440 got Trump, we've got we

00:22:20.100 started to lose faith in

00:22:20.960 the presidency, and

00:22:22.460 now we're losing faith in

00:22:23.740 the truth as an

00:22:24.840 institution.

00:22:25.740 Yeah.

00:22:26.180 But the funny thing is,

00:22:27.180 if Hillary had been 1.00

00:22:27.780 elected, probably would

00:22:29.060 have been the same

00:22:29.540 outcome in terms of

00:22:30.460 losing faith in the

00:22:32.420 institution.

00:22:33.140 Oh, yeah.

00:22:33.500 And I would even go so

00:22:35.180 far, Glenn, as to say

00:22:36.020 that when you ask for

00:22:37.020 people that don't have

00:22:37.920 jerseys, the jersey is a

00:22:39.940 symbol of the

00:22:40.560 institution.

00:22:41.720 And you're asking

00:22:42.360 people to drop the

00:22:43.480 institutional affiliation

00:22:44.660 they have and come to

00:22:45.720 you on core principles.

00:22:47.300 And I would say that's

00:22:49.480 probably the beginning to

00:22:50.500 tie it into tribal

00:22:52.380 leadership.

00:22:53.280 That's probably the

00:22:54.160 beginning of how you get

00:22:55.280 a collection of people to

00:22:56.600 move from a type one to a

00:22:59.000 type two to a type three

00:23:00.500 tribe.

00:23:02.020 Ryan, you should be

00:23:03.440 working for me right now.

00:23:06.780 Boy.

00:23:08.000 I'll get paid in

00:23:08.900 sandwiches.

00:23:09.420 Just don't put me near

00:23:10.080 Jeffy.

00:23:11.120 Yeah, he'll steal all your

00:23:12.420 sandwiches.

00:23:14.260 You're exactly right, Ryan.

00:23:16.120 You're exactly right.

00:23:17.980 And we have to reweave

00:23:21.340 the American story.

00:23:24.000 The American story is

00:23:25.580 what has always bound us

00:23:27.280 together.

00:23:28.660 And as I will show you

00:23:30.340 later this fall, I hope

00:23:31.620 that story was really

00:23:35.100 identified and then

00:23:37.440 decisions were made on

00:23:39.980 how to tear it apart and

00:23:42.600 destroy the foundation of

00:23:44.280 every piece of our

00:23:45.740 American story.

00:23:47.100 We've got to find a

00:23:48.660 group of people.

00:23:49.440 And I don't care.

00:23:50.000 I've always felt that at

00:23:53.280 some point it's going to

00:23:54.780 be me and about 10

00:23:56.000 people under a tree just

00:23:58.100 talking about what those

00:23:59.840 American principles were

00:24:01.300 and re-launching the

00:24:05.580 or re-weaving the fabric

00:24:08.580 of America.

00:24:09.780 We can do this.

00:24:11.300 We just have to be very,

00:24:13.100 very aware of the,

00:24:16.340 as you say, the type one

00:24:19.100 and type two of tribal

00:24:21.640 stages.

00:24:22.680 People are really

00:24:23.960 suffering and they are

00:24:26.420 afraid and they don't know

00:24:27.940 where to go.

00:24:29.940 And, you know, I listen to

00:24:32.960 people on talk radio and I

00:24:35.240 listen to them on on

00:24:36.640 television and when

00:24:39.360 people say, oh, man,

00:24:41.100 nobody cared about the

00:24:42.380 uranium crisis.

00:24:43.900 Nobody cared about, you

00:24:46.580 know, the the documents

00:24:48.300 that Hillary Clinton was

00:24:50.800 using and that she was

00:24:51.620 that she was using to

00:24:53.560 enrich herself.

00:24:54.820 Nobody seemed to care.

00:24:55.760 And, man, it is so easy

00:24:57.620 to get wrapped up in

00:24:58.500 that because I listen to

00:24:59.320 that.

00:24:59.500 I'm like, you're exactly

00:25:01.620 right.

00:25:02.660 I was watching the news

00:25:04.020 yesterday and I'm

00:25:06.120 listening to them and I

00:25:07.200 had to fight hard.

00:25:10.280 It constantly came up.

00:25:13.220 Where were you when

00:25:15.360 when people had the IRS

00:25:17.840 being used as a weapon?

00:25:20.160 Where were you?

00:25:21.380 Where were you when

00:25:24.000 Lynch was on the

00:25:25.100 tarmac?

00:25:26.540 Where were you?

00:25:29.200 But that doesn't do

00:25:30.560 anything for us.

00:25:32.020 We have to be really

00:25:32.980 careful and remember

00:25:35.560 what we say to our own

00:25:36.640 children.

00:25:37.640 And that is, I'm not

00:25:39.340 talking about your

00:25:40.220 sister right now.

00:25:41.120 I'm talking about you.

00:25:42.700 Believe me, I'll take

00:25:43.540 care of your sister.

00:25:45.660 We just have to be able

00:25:47.040 to separate them and not

00:25:48.620 conflate them.

00:25:49.400 That's that's the real

00:25:50.680 problem with truth right

00:25:51.860 now is we're conflating

00:25:53.600 everything.

00:25:54.140 We're putting everything

00:25:55.240 together and we have to

00:25:58.040 learn to be able to

00:25:59.100 separate.

00:25:59.500 And that's really, really

00:26:00.160 hard.

00:26:00.940 Thank you for so much of

00:26:02.700 the hard thinking that

00:26:03.880 you've done, Ryan.

00:26:04.600 Let me go to Cindy in

00:26:06.360 Georgia.

00:26:07.100 Hello, Cindy.

00:26:08.820 Hi.

00:26:09.520 Cindy Shanahan from

00:26:10.760 Columbus, Georgia.

00:26:11.780 OK, great.

00:26:12.620 And I was telling them it

00:26:14.620 physically affects me

00:26:16.120 because since the

00:26:17.360 beginning of the

00:26:18.400 primaries through the

00:26:20.140 election, there's an

00:26:21.360 ebb and flow.

00:26:22.980 And so you're in the

00:26:24.180 voting booth and you're

00:26:24.980 like Hillary, Donald,

00:26:27.680 Hillary, Donald.

00:26:29.760 Oh, my God.

00:26:30.600 And so you pick one.

00:26:32.060 And so the whole time

00:26:32.940 you're watching everything,

00:26:33.860 you're like, I really hope

00:26:34.880 I did the right thing, but

00:26:35.780 I'm not really sure.

00:26:36.620 But I hope I did.

00:26:37.940 And so during the ebb and

00:26:38.980 flow, when it's looking

00:26:40.420 good, like I did the right

00:26:41.640 thing, I sleep pretty good.

00:26:42.980 But I don't sleep good

00:26:44.920 when it's not going in the

00:26:46.360 direction that seems

00:26:47.060 positive.

00:26:47.540 And so I didn't sleep

00:26:49.380 last night and my

00:26:50.900 stomach gets upset and I

00:26:52.200 have I can't eat right

00:26:53.460 and I'm worried and I do

00:26:55.720 care.

00:26:56.180 I care a lot.

00:26:57.340 I just wanted it to be

00:26:58.540 better.

00:27:00.640 So where do you stand on

00:27:02.300 this when when you were

00:27:04.180 watching things last night

00:27:05.760 and you do care and you

00:27:08.900 you know, you don't want

00:27:10.860 this scandal and you don't

00:27:12.160 want.

00:27:13.020 Where do you stand?

00:27:14.240 We know what the press is

00:27:16.560 going to do.

00:27:17.980 Well, I think I think we

00:27:20.680 put our hope in a person

00:27:22.080 and we all know you

00:27:23.020 shouldn't put your hope in

00:27:23.880 men because they'll just 0.83

00:27:25.100 disappoint you.

00:27:26.080 Right.

00:27:26.280 Women too. 1.00

00:27:27.300 That's what our that's what

00:27:28.900 our that's what our life is

00:27:30.500 about.

00:27:30.980 So you do.

00:27:31.900 And then I just think,

00:27:33.180 really, you want to know

00:27:33.940 the truth?

00:27:34.240 I think they're just all

00:27:35.080 cut out of the same cloth.

00:27:37.040 They're all the same people.

00:27:38.540 They're all going to get

00:27:39.360 their own results.

00:27:40.480 And I guess we just

00:27:42.460 implode and build again.

00:27:43.920 I don't know.

00:27:45.740 Cindy, thank you so much

00:27:46.840 for your phone call.

00:27:47.560 Let me go to Lisa.

00:27:49.000 Hello, Lisa.

00:27:49.700 You're on the Glenn Beck

00:27:50.440 program.

00:27:51.800 Hi, thanks for taking my

00:27:53.020 call.

00:27:54.000 For me, it boils down to

00:27:56.320 integrity.

00:27:57.080 And, you know, I'm trying to

00:27:58.300 teach my children that

00:27:59.500 omission of the truth is

00:28:01.920 the same as telling a lie.

00:28:03.820 Lack of obedience is

00:28:05.220 disobedience.

00:28:06.120 And so, you know, I've

00:28:07.820 really been trying to give

00:28:09.240 the Trumps the benefit of

00:28:10.440 the doubt, even though I

00:28:11.520 didn't vote for him.

00:28:12.540 I'm trying to get up every

00:28:13.860 day, see the glasses have

00:28:15.720 full, speak out to my own

00:28:18.500 family when he's doing

00:28:19.920 something right.

00:28:21.680 And kind of bury the hatchet

00:28:24.380 for how I felt during the

00:28:25.560 primaries, because you just

00:28:26.840 can't live.

00:28:27.540 Yeah, you can't live that

00:28:29.020 life of being negative all

00:28:30.680 the time because it didn't

00:28:31.680 go your way.

00:28:32.460 And you've got to rebuild.

00:28:33.680 Um, so, but, you know, it's

00:28:35.900 really difficult for, although

00:28:38.440 I know I'm, we as parents are

00:28:40.240 the primary, uh, educators and

00:28:42.280 upholders of truth for our

00:28:43.940 families, we appreciate the

00:28:46.180 partnerships with the media,

00:28:48.700 the government, the schools,

00:28:50.260 and it's getting to the point

00:28:52.080 where a parent has no

00:28:53.980 partnership.

00:28:55.140 Yeah.

00:28:55.680 I mean, we're not partnering

00:28:56.560 with anyone right now.

00:28:57.680 And my children are learning

00:28:58.780 that between all of the, you

00:29:01.180 know, the Trump stuff, the

00:29:03.020 Hillary stuff, and even, you

00:29:05.260 know, the Charlie Gard stuff

00:29:06.560 going on.

00:29:07.160 I mean, you can't trust your

00:29:08.160 government to take care of

00:29:09.560 you.

00:29:10.360 Um, you can't trust them to

00:29:11.940 tell the truth.

00:29:12.720 You can't trust the media.

00:29:14.520 Uh, you, you don't know who

00:29:16.320 to, who you can even trust in

00:29:17.780 written print, uh, who to

00:29:19.620 read.

00:29:19.960 And so you, you don't know if

00:29:22.120 you can trust the university

00:29:23.460 professors to teach them.

00:29:25.400 Um, so it's becoming very

00:29:27.940 difficult, uh, to navigate how

00:29:31.480 to raise children who are 0.94

00:29:33.520 active in politics, active

00:29:35.540 in their society and

00:29:36.960 community.

00:29:38.100 Um, it's just becoming

00:29:39.440 difficult and it's, it's an

00:29:41.000 integrity thing for me.

00:29:42.360 And I will go to my grave,

00:29:45.280 you know, knowing that

00:29:47.340 regardless of your religious

00:29:49.300 beliefs, everyone has a

00:29:51.060 moral compass and it's just,

00:29:54.140 it shouldn't be that

00:29:54.920 difficult to discern this is

00:29:58.220 right.

00:29:58.740 This is wrong.

00:30:00.880 Lisa, thank you very much.

00:30:03.260 Um, here's something that

00:30:05.600 I've, I've written up on my

00:30:07.020 chalkboard in my office.

00:30:10.540 Entertainment creates culture.

00:30:13.820 Culture creates values.

00:30:17.260 We have been talking about

00:30:18.660 values.

00:30:20.880 We, we've, we have created

00:30:23.600 because of the rating system.

00:30:26.140 We have created an, uh, a

00:30:28.660 news system that has become

00:30:31.180 for many entertainment.

00:30:32.740 Now me, it makes me sick to

00:30:34.240 my stomach.

00:30:34.920 I think a lot of people are

00:30:36.100 feeling that way now.

00:30:37.400 Listening to this stuff is not

00:30:39.020 fun.

00:30:39.480 I mean, it used to be kind of

00:30:41.700 fun, you know, where, you

00:30:43.680 know, where it wasn't life and

00:30:44.960 death every day.

00:30:46.180 It wasn't, you know, it was,

00:30:47.560 it was policies that, you know,

00:30:49.620 we can argue back and forth and

00:30:51.420 yeah, it might affect you a

00:30:53.200 little bit here, a little bit

00:30:54.180 there, but now everything is

00:30:56.080 so important and it really is,

00:31:00.420 you know, you look at the

00:31:01.280 healthcare reform that can

00:31:03.360 mean the collapse of the

00:31:04.620 country.

00:31:04.920 If we get it wrong, it could

00:31:07.180 mean just the collapse of

00:31:08.900 really great healthcare.

00:31:12.880 It could mean that we save a

00:31:14.840 lot of people.

00:31:17.140 Just that is so important.

00:31:19.100 And we're dealing with a

00:31:21.180 thousand of those.

00:31:22.400 And I'm not exaggerating.

00:31:23.500 I bet you if we spent time, if

00:31:25.360 we spent the rest of today's

00:31:26.700 show, tomorrow's show and

00:31:27.460 Friday's show, we could come up

00:31:29.040 with a thousand stories right

00:31:30.840 now that we're all wrestling

00:31:32.180 with that really, truly impact

00:31:35.660 our life.

00:31:36.960 It shouldn't be that way.

00:31:38.500 It should not be that way.

00:31:40.240 No president should have so much

00:31:42.000 power that he makes us sick to

00:31:44.460 our stomach.

00:31:45.840 No president should have that.

00:31:47.380 that when we're thinking

00:31:49.460 about, you know, Barack

00:31:51.500 Obama, we're like, oh my

00:31:52.600 gosh, this could, this could

00:31:53.980 just change everything for my

00:31:55.700 children.

00:31:56.360 This could change everything

00:31:57.500 for my business.

00:31:58.340 I might lose my job because of

00:32:00.060 this.

00:32:00.540 That's not what the president

00:32:02.340 should have.

00:32:05.720 And we need to find our way

00:32:07.060 back there.

00:32:07.800 I really appreciate the way you

00:32:13.700 feel.

00:32:15.560 And I think we all feel this way.

00:32:18.400 I think we all feel this way.

00:32:21.560 So now we just have to navigate

00:32:23.400 our way through these waters

00:32:25.460 because this isn't going away.

00:32:27.380 This is going to be a fight.

00:32:29.100 And I, I, I urge you to, um, read

00:32:37.480 the books, the fourth turning, uh,

00:32:40.600 that Ryan just said, read, um, the, um,

00:32:45.640 the righteous mind, read tribal

00:32:48.320 leadership, read those things, read.

00:32:52.180 There's a great book about business

00:32:54.380 called friction.

00:32:56.300 Um, and some of these books that

00:32:59.100 I'm recommending, you're going to

00:33:00.940 have to just figure out how they

00:33:02.520 fit into our society, but they're

00:33:04.860 all about our society.

00:33:06.380 You know, these books, tribal

00:33:07.820 leadership and friction, those are

00:33:09.440 about business, but I'm telling

00:33:11.380 you, it's about our life.

00:33:14.360 You read friction and it's a

00:33:16.720 business book about how to make

00:33:18.520 your business successful now and

00:33:21.200 how we're all in competition with

00:33:22.960 Uber.

00:33:23.320 But as you read that book, you're

00:33:25.800 going to realize that's my whole

00:33:27.140 life.

00:33:27.680 That's everything in my life.

00:33:29.980 That's the country.

00:33:32.060 You read tribal leadership and it

00:33:33.660 talks about the different tribes

00:33:35.740 and a stage five tribe is a great

00:33:38.300 tribe.

00:33:38.800 That's like a Google at the maximum

00:33:41.600 velocity.

00:33:42.240 That's like Apple at maximum

00:33:43.780 velocity where people are at the

00:33:45.680 work in there going.

00:33:46.460 This is incredible.

00:33:47.720 I don't even know how we're

00:33:48.380 getting this stuff done.

00:33:50.540 And stage one and stage two is

00:33:52.660 where we are as a country, which is

00:33:56.060 suicidal.

00:33:58.320 Stage one is suicide, violence,

00:34:00.840 nothing means anything, overthrow the

00:34:03.820 system, theft.

00:34:06.920 And stage two is I just got to fend for

00:34:11.080 myself.

00:34:12.400 Everybody is against me.

00:34:14.060 The whole system is bad, but I'm not

00:34:16.760 willing just to burn it all down.

00:34:18.260 I'm just going to fend for myself.

00:34:20.840 That's where we are.

00:34:23.260 And there is a way out, but we have to

00:34:25.520 start moving that direction.

00:34:28.260 And it's it's it's not as hard as it

00:34:31.980 seems right now.

00:34:33.340 Once you understand where we are and

00:34:37.000 the small steps that we have to take to

00:34:39.720 get out.

00:34:41.440 All right.

00:34:42.100 Our sponsor this half hour is LifeLock.

00:36:16.740 Jared in New York, we have less than a

00:36:18.900 minute.

00:36:19.180 Go ahead.

00:36:20.860 I wanted to speak with all you guys.

00:36:22.200 I've been a long time listener.

00:36:23.520 Thank you.

00:36:23.880 I was telling the screener, basically,

00:36:26.360 isn't this exactly what Trump spoke

00:36:28.040 about in every single stop he made on

00:36:30.600 the campaign trail, and that's drain

00:36:32.100 the swamp.

00:36:33.380 Wasn't the intention of going to the

00:36:35.240 meeting to get what he got part of

00:36:37.960 the swamp?

00:36:39.060 Isn't it dirty politics?

00:36:40.740 Isn't it everything that he ran for?

00:36:43.160 What the whole movement behind him

00:36:45.180 was?

00:36:45.480 What the movement behind the left was,

00:36:47.020 really, and the right in this election?

00:36:48.900 And it happened to be, you know,

00:36:51.000 Donald Trump Jr., who is doing exactly

00:36:53.780 what his father was so adamant about

00:36:56.440 not doing.

00:36:57.760 Jared, thank you very much for the

00:36:59.240 perspective.

00:36:59.640 Your phone call coming up in just a

00:37:01.980 second, and why this story should

00:37:04.320 matter to you, one way or another,

00:37:06.900 however you decide, why this matters

00:37:09.480 to you, your children, and to the

00:37:12.500 security of the United States, a

00:37:14.460 perspective I haven't heard yet, coming

00:37:16.220 up.

00:37:18.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:22.280 Mercury.

00:37:29.640 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:37:41.580 On demand.

00:37:45.600 CNBC is reporting today, quote, we're

00:37:48.180 flowing toward the path.

00:37:50.160 They are comparing the current period that we're in right now to the buildup toward the Great

00:37:57.580 Depression and warning that there's a possibility that it is this fall that kicks this off.

00:38:04.800 This is from CNBC yesterday.

00:38:05.800 Good.

00:38:06.800 We also want to give you a break in something, give you some really good news that we do have friends and allies.

00:38:18.280 I don't know if you've heard about the Canadians, a Canadian court, giving a guy who was in Guantanamo for killing an American soldier.

00:38:31.980 He sued the Canadian government, and he sued them because he didn't rescue them from Guantanamo.

00:38:41.700 They actually had to pay him $10 million.

00:38:45.780 When you hear this story, it is absolutely incredible, but I want to give you the good news.

00:38:51.360 There's a group of Canadians that are so outraged by this that they are now, they did a GoFundMe page where they're trying to raise money for the American family.

00:39:02.420 As kind of almost an apology that we're sorry, we're really, really sorry that we did this in court.

00:39:10.280 The Canadian people support the U.S. military.

00:39:13.440 I think it's a fantastic story.

00:39:15.780 And why you should care about the Donald Trump story.

00:39:20.000 Where is this going next?

00:39:22.180 What is it that if you cut through all of it, that it really means?

00:39:28.560 And could Donald Trump Jr. go to jail?

00:39:31.720 Could this lead to impeachment?

00:39:33.700 What is on the direct horizon?

00:39:37.040 We're going to go to David French from National Review right now.

00:39:40.980 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

00:40:02.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:08.920 Rand Paul just announced that the GOP has decided to keep Obamacare.

00:40:14.800 I mean, how are you going to get Obamacare through with any of this?

00:40:21.580 And they weren't going that direction anyway.

00:40:23.660 But we want to talk to David French from the National Review.

00:40:27.920 He's a senior fellow.

00:40:29.580 He's a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

00:40:32.920 Author of several books and a graduate from Harvard Law School.

00:40:37.180 So, David, I want to start there with what you know legally.

00:40:42.340 Were any crimes committed at all?

00:40:46.380 There doesn't seem to be any crimes that have been committed.

00:40:49.840 I mean, at least I haven't identified any yet.

00:40:52.900 But there's been a word that's been thrown around a lot, and that's collusion.

00:40:58.560 And collusion isn't really a legal term.

00:41:01.660 It's more of a political term.

00:41:03.980 And it means cooperation, I would say.

00:41:07.140 It means participation.

00:41:08.060 And it's obviously, obviously, no one would want to see Americans cooperating with, participating with a hostile foreign power as it tries to influence an American election.

00:41:23.200 And so calling something collusion, regardless if it's illegal, is still very damaging.

00:41:32.640 It's still very, very problematic.

00:41:34.620 But as of right now, if you look at the decision of Donald Trump Jr. to take that meeting with Jared Kushner, with Paul Manafort, that doesn't seem to be illegal.

00:41:45.400 It still seems to be.

00:41:46.520 But that doesn't mean it's not highly, highly problematic.

00:41:48.740 And we can't say the definition of right and wrong is defined by what's legal or illegal.

00:41:55.280 Correct.

00:41:55.400 And we don't have collusion, per se.

00:41:59.280 But we do have, just in the email at least, we do have the willingness to coordinate.

00:42:08.060 When he wrote, hey, this is great, but it would be better if it was released maybe later this summer, that is the beginning of cooperation, is it not?

00:42:20.680 Well, right, absolutely.

00:42:21.800 The way I phrased it is it looks like, based on the available evidence, what you had was like attempted collusion.

00:42:29.340 If you had asked me a week ago, or if you had told me a week ago that there exists an actual email sent to high-level Trump officials that says we're offering to provide the Trump campaign with official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary in her dealings with Russia,

00:42:48.400 and would be very useful to your father, and it's high-level and sensitive information, but is part of Russia and its government support for Mr. Trump, like that's actually in an email,

00:42:59.340 and then a high-level Trump official, no less high-level than Trump's son, responds with, if that's what you say, I love it, I would have thought that's a bad House of Cards episode.

00:43:10.140 That's just too on the nose.

00:43:13.020 Yeah, and there's no, there's, I didn't think that there was collusion, I didn't think any of the, you would have said to me last week,

00:43:23.520 if there was just emails between the Russians and the Trumps, I would have said no.

00:43:28.920 I mean, I just, I didn't believe any of this by any stretch of the imagination.

00:43:37.000 And so now we get to the repeated lies, I think we counted 38 or 48 lies where they are saying none of this happened.

00:43:49.240 One of those, which is stunning, and I'm trying to get the tape of it, is from Jake Tapper, where he had Donald Trump Jr. on at the time of the convention,

00:43:58.020 and he said, you know, they're saying that the Russians are targeting Hillary Clinton in favor of your father.

00:44:07.720 And the answer from Donald Trump Jr. is astounding, now that you know what he knew,

00:44:15.400 where he rolls his eyes and he says, this is just pathetic, they will say anything to win.

00:44:21.620 I mean, where do you go with that, David?

00:44:26.180 Well, one of the things you do, where you go with that, is you don't believe a word they say anymore.

00:44:31.600 And that's really, really important, because one of the major defenses that we heard yesterday was,

00:44:38.120 okay, well, we took the meeting, but the meeting was nothing.

00:44:41.600 Nothing happened, there was no collusion, they didn't offer us anything, we didn't give them anything.

00:44:46.380 And, you know, that may well be true, that may well be true, it may well be that they took a meeting under false pretenses,

00:44:53.480 but there's two things that flow from that, one, or really three things.

00:44:57.900 One, it still doesn't mean that their intent wasn't terrible.

00:45:03.260 As somebody said, if you're thinking you're buying drugs and they turn out to be fake drugs,

00:45:07.480 that doesn't make you any better person.

00:45:09.920 Yeah, and you're not calling the police.

00:45:12.860 I've been ripped off!

00:45:14.860 Exactly.

00:45:16.380 And number two, it says, well, we don't need to believe a word that you say about what actually happened in the meeting,

00:45:22.140 so that means independent investigation should continue.

00:45:24.600 And number three, it should make us very, very, very curious about whether there's anything else here.

00:45:30.380 There's no reason for us to believe that this is the last shoe to drop right now.

00:45:33.900 Well, especially since on Saturday, you know, two weeks ago it was nothing,

00:45:38.180 then Saturday it was a meeting about adoption, and then it was, oh, there's a little more,

00:45:43.060 and then by Monday it was the most amazing Hollywood written email we've, any of us have ever seen.

00:45:51.720 When I saw that email, I could not believe my eyes when I saw that email.

00:45:57.720 David, you have been watching the conservative movement for a long time, but you've been watching it now for the last 18 months.

00:46:06.640 And I have to ask myself and you, all right, people are really hurting, they're really struggling,

00:46:16.620 they don't believe the press, they don't believe really in anything anymore.

00:46:22.880 They reached out to Donald Trump because he spoke their language and said,

00:46:27.680 look, I'm going to bring your jobs back, I'm going to help you with health care.

00:46:32.900 Many people will look at this and say, this is a distraction and we have to stop it

00:46:37.540 because we need to get the things done that he promised he was going to get done.

00:46:41.800 How do you, what does this do to the conservative movement if we play this like the left played Bill Clinton in the 1990s?

00:46:58.380 Well, I think what happens is we become that which we despise.

00:47:03.240 You know, I was, I was, you know, I remember the 1990s very, very vividly.

00:47:07.960 I remember being appalled at the Democrats, not just, not just that the Democrats were willing to excuse Bill Clinton,

00:47:15.960 but the extent to which they would attack other people to cover for Bill Clinton and to distract from Bill Clinton.

00:47:22.760 And, and you begin to see a lot of the same things happening in the, you know, whatever,

00:47:28.720 what we would still call the conservative movement, that not only are they excusing, they're attacking other people,

00:47:35.180 sometimes unjustly, sometimes these other people do wrong things,

00:47:37.960 but attacking other people to excuse Donald Trump.

00:47:41.220 And then at the end of the day, you're looking at it.

00:47:43.320 And yes, Donald Trump's done some good things.

00:47:45.380 The Gorsuch nomination was very good.

00:47:47.180 The Mattis nomination was very good.

00:47:48.920 But on a lot of things on his agenda, he's not even moving in any direction on those particular things.

00:47:55.700 And, and so you, you, at the end of the day, you're going, well, I'm attacking him.

00:47:59.560 I'm attacking on his behalf.

00:48:01.000 I'm excusing things I never would have excused.

00:48:03.620 I mean, could you imagine two years ago, Glenn, that there would be Republicans talking about a meeting like this

00:48:09.360 with the intention of meeting with, with foes of the United States to influence an American election two years ago,

00:48:15.900 saying, oh, that's not a big problem.

00:48:18.040 Here's the real problem.

00:48:19.040 I could have, I could have imagined Hillary Clinton, honestly, I think so lowly of Hillary Clinton that I could,

00:48:25.580 I could imagine that.

00:48:27.080 Um, but I couldn't imagine, um, this with, from our side, from our side.

00:48:31.640 No.

00:48:32.360 Um, how serious is this, David, where does this, where does this go?

00:48:40.700 That's a great question.

00:48:41.960 I would say as a, it's very serious.

00:48:44.760 We don't know how serious it will get because we don't know what else is there.

00:48:48.040 Um, if it's, if this is, if this is, if there is no other shoe that drops in all of this, if this is the story, uh, this is very, very serious,

00:48:57.680 but it's not going to lead to, uh, you know, a change in the administration.

00:49:01.120 It's not going to lead to impeachment.

00:49:04.060 Um, but it should be, and it should, it should be deeply alarming and it should be deeply damaging.

00:49:09.140 But we just don't know.

00:49:11.460 I mean, we're at a point right now where, um, as, as Jonah Goldberg put it well, we know so little that we should trust no one and defend no one because there are a lot, so many facts that we don't know.

00:49:24.020 We have to wait.

00:49:24.980 We have to be patient.

00:49:25.960 And I know that's really hard in the Twitter news cycle, but we really do have to be patient.

00:49:31.900 There are actual credible investigations ongoing.

00:49:34.860 And what this has shown us is that these investigations aren't a quote unquote witch hunt.

00:49:39.640 Um, for a while.

00:49:41.540 And I was beginning to believe that I was beginning to believe that the collusion narrative was utterly false.

00:49:46.880 Uh, and now I'm seeing that maybe that's not right.

00:49:49.700 And we need to really, we need to really, uh, leave no stone, stone unturned.

00:49:53.920 So I'm going to talk to the audience here in a few minutes about some of the things that I'm worried about.

00:49:58.260 I mean, any time in American history that the United States government has become unstable, that's when our foes move.

00:50:05.560 Um, we are, we are in a situation where one of our foes is Russia. 0.83

00:50:10.460 I mean, we are entangled with Russia in North Korea.

00:50:14.120 We're entangled with them over ISIS in the Middle East, um, in, in Europe.

00:50:19.780 I mean, the president just gave a great speech about not having Europe, not entangled with, uh, Russian oil. 0.62

00:50:27.020 Um, I am concerned about things like Kim Jong-il.

00:50:32.040 Is there something on the horizon that we should watch for and be very careful and watch this administration and how they move?

00:50:40.560 Because we know that there might be some deep connections with Russia?

00:50:45.720 Well, you know, we just have to look at very carefully what's happening both in, in, uh, in Europe and Ukraine, uh, the Baltic states and also Syria.

00:50:55.900 You know, look, people don't realize what a flashpoint Syria is and what a flashpoint Syria could become. 0.73

00:51:01.780 Because we're, we're moving towards a de facto partition of that country where we're the guardian and protector of our allies.

00:51:09.620 Russia is the guardian and protector of their allies.

00:51:12.200 And our allies and their allies are often in direct military, military conflict with each other.

00:51:17.780 And that's extremely volatile.

00:51:19.780 And that requires a very steady hand at the wheel or a steady hand at the, you know, at the, at the helm of the ship of state.

00:51:25.960 And this is something where, you know, things like this, where you're realizing, could there have been such inappropriate contacts behind the scenes that even today, there might be some possibility that the Russians have leverage that they shouldn't have.

00:51:41.300 That's where it gets very, very troubling because this, this kind of news cycle, if there exists other contacts, this kind of news cycle can erupt again, just at the whim of the Russian state.

00:51:51.440 And that's what a lot of people don't realize when they say, oh, well, what's wrong with taking a meeting about opposition research?

00:51:58.500 Well, what's wrong with it is that the person who meets with you, in this case, if they're agents of the Russian government, has the information that they met with you.

00:52:05.700 They have the knowledge that they met with you.

00:52:07.320 And they have the ability to deploy that knowledge at will to harm you.

00:52:10.740 And that creates leverage.

00:52:12.360 And that's, that's just one of the problematic aspects of it.

00:52:15.580 But it's a very problematic, problematic aspect when that leverage is on behalf of our chief geopolitical foe.

00:52:22.140 I have one more minute to answer this question.

00:52:30.140 We're, we're sitting here and looking at the House and the Senate.

00:52:35.140 They're trying to get health care through, et cetera, et cetera.

00:52:37.080 They're trying to get a bunch of judges through, uh, what do our listeners need to do to not, to have a chance of not losing the House in 2018?

00:52:50.740 We, the way we react as the GOP, if we bury this, uh, there is a lot of independents that will say, I want checks and balances on this guy.

00:53:02.040 Right.

00:53:02.160 More so than they already did.

00:53:04.980 What, how should we be reacting now?

00:53:07.400 What should we be saying?

00:53:09.240 I would say three words, do your jobs, uh, and your jobs include getting through good legislation.

00:53:15.600 Cause there's nothing that says that administration chaos can't mean that Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan can't put good legislation on the president's desk that could help Americans.

00:53:24.460 And number two, do your job in holding this president accountable.

00:53:27.840 Because if you're seen entirely as carrying his water and any positive agenda is stalled while you're carrying his water, to say that that puts the House, makes the House vulnerable and the House majority vulnerable is an understatement.

00:53:41.760 Yeah, I agree.

00:53:42.260 And I, and, and I think do your jobs is the message.

00:53:44.620 Great.

00:53:44.880 Thank you very much.

00:53:45.680 David French, uh, from the national review.

00:53:47.780 Good talking to you to David.

00:53:48.920 Stay safe.

00:53:50.020 Now this over 300 million civilian owned guns are in America.

00:53:54.860 Now here's, what's really interesting as the number of guns in America has gone up, gun ownership, legal gun ownership, gone through the roof, gun crime has gone down.

00:54:09.400 This is the point that second amendment supporters have been making for a very long time.

00:54:14.100 We understand responsible gun ownership is the smart choice. 0.75

00:54:18.280 Now, a bad guy comes into your house at night and you're protecting yourself from the bad guy.

00:54:24.160 You pull out your gun.

00:54:26.220 You even wave it his way, not even fire it.

00:54:29.480 Police are called.

00:54:30.480 They come.

00:54:31.620 He says, he was waving a gun at me.

00:54:34.320 He was brandishing a firearm.

00:54:37.060 You're going to go to court.

00:54:38.820 If you have to, God forbid, shoot, you're going to court.

00:54:42.380 And the next three years of your life are in hell.

00:54:46.720 The guy with the mask is repeated, is, is replaced with a guy with a briefcase.

00:54:52.400 The attorneys come in who's protecting the protector.

00:54:57.060 That's the USCCA protect and defend.com.

00:55:22.080 You have a homeowner's policy.

00:55:40.200 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:46.000 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:52.780 So glad that you have tuned in.

00:55:56.500 I would like to hear what you're thinking, what you're feeling.

00:56:00.360 I would love to hear advice for Donald Trump.

00:56:03.280 What, if you were, if you were giving advice to Donald Trump, what would the advice be?

00:56:09.320 Me?

00:56:10.900 Maybe not you.

00:56:12.180 Maybe not you.

00:56:13.600 I kind of do want to hear your advice.

00:56:15.600 Go ahead.

00:56:17.540 Resign.

00:56:18.140 Yeah.

00:56:18.420 Okay.

00:56:18.640 So, okay.

00:56:20.280 So let's say you want the president to succeed.

00:56:25.720 I do want him to succeed.

00:56:27.260 I'm just kidding.

00:56:30.360 I do want him to succeed.

00:56:31.780 So, it's hard because...

00:56:34.240 It sounded genuine, didn't it?

00:56:35.320 It did.

00:56:35.980 I do.

00:56:36.700 Because it's good for the country.

00:56:37.880 If the president succeeds, the country succeeds.

00:56:40.020 I absolutely want him to.

00:56:41.620 We have to have...

00:56:42.300 Here's my concern.

00:56:43.220 We have to have...

00:56:44.300 We have to have law and order.

00:56:46.080 And I don't want to teach my kids something that leads to more chaos, like we did in the

00:56:52.680 1990s.

00:56:53.320 This is the problem that we had during the campaign, right?

00:56:55.560 We were kind of trying to stick to principles.

00:56:57.900 We believed certain things, and so we didn't support him.

00:57:02.500 And then, so...

00:57:04.020 But yeah, you've got your children to consider.

00:57:07.180 We've got the next generation that we're teaching.

00:57:09.940 And I guess we're teaching them that lying about these things is okay.

00:57:12.720 Not yet.

00:57:13.460 Not yet.

00:57:14.080 We haven't yet.

00:57:15.540 Let's see what...

00:57:16.900 Let's see how we all react to it.

00:57:19.000 But I'd love to hear how you think we all should react to this, what you think the president

00:57:23.920 should do, how you're feeling about this.

00:57:26.640 It's kind of interesting, because you never would have guessed that Republicans would be

00:57:29.740 supportive of meeting with Russian agents and then lying about it afterwards.

00:57:35.160 Would you ever thought of...

00:57:36.060 Well, I don't think people are.

00:57:37.120 I mean, I'd like to see a poll.

00:57:38.400 I don't know.

00:57:39.480 I saw a lot of conservatives yesterday.

00:57:41.940 A lot of conservatives say, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:57:44.760 That's true.

00:57:45.940 You know, there's a fork in the road here.

00:57:48.140 And we are at a fork in the road.

00:57:50.000 We are.

00:57:50.300 We still support the president, but what do we do with this when we come back?

00:57:55.920 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:59.380 Mercury.

00:58:03.380 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:58:05.200 Let's go to Bill in Ohio.

00:58:09.020 888-727-BECK.

00:58:10.720 Really want to hear your voice today and what you're feeling.

00:58:13.520 Bill, go ahead.

00:58:15.940 Hey, Glenn.

00:58:17.700 I knew we were in trouble years ago when the whole Clinton-Monica-Lensky thing was accepted

00:58:26.860 by the media and having served under Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, and lastly with

00:58:39.540 President Obama.

00:58:40.560 You know, we kicked folks out of the service for what President Clinton did.

00:58:47.480 And the fact that Bush 41 kind of helped him revitalize his reputation, that was a mistake.

00:58:56.280 I agree with you that, you know, Hillary would have been a hero if she, you know, packed her 0.99

00:59:02.280 bags and put them out on the front lawn.

00:59:04.240 But the fact that all that was accepted, just, it tore me up inside.

00:59:10.780 You know, I'm married 27 years.

00:59:13.480 I'm a flawed man, but this is the last thing on my mind that, you know, I would ever do to

00:59:19.760 my wife.

00:59:20.320 And, you know, to take it away from the personal and look at what we're facing then and what

00:59:26.960 we may be facing now, to have the argument at the time, in the 90s, of this lie doesn't

00:59:34.760 matter because it was only about sex, and when I said I did not have sex with that woman, 0.96

00:59:39.800 that means that sex is not oral sex.

00:59:46.120 That changed our children, whether or not you grew up in a household that was arguing

00:59:52.660 one side or another.

00:59:54.180 A new study came out around 2010, 80% of kids don't think oral sex is even sex.

01:00:00.480 Well, that is a direct, there's a direct correlation to the Clinton administration, I believe, not

01:00:08.380 correlation, but causation of that argument.

01:00:11.780 So what are the arguments that we're now going into?

01:00:14.460 That's why I don't want to engage in arguments right now.

01:00:17.360 We ought to think this through.

01:00:19.260 What are we going to teach the next generation?

01:00:22.100 Because if we lose our children, if our children aren't solid, if our children aren't solid, that

01:00:28.900 you don't mess with enemies of the state, if they're not clear who our enemies are, and

01:00:37.520 that you don't collude, or even, you know, there's no reason to take information from

01:00:44.040 people that wish your country ill, I'm afraid that we're going to cause much deeper problems

01:00:51.480 10 years from now.

01:00:53.160 And that's even been blurred in the last, you know, 20 years.

01:00:57.060 I think that's been, I mean, look at, I mean, look at, look at this, look at the blurring

01:01:03.240 of the line, uh, of who's good and who's bad in just the last year, FBI, CIA, and NSA.

01:01:13.200 Now we've already started blurring the line because they were violating the fourth amendment.

01:01:17.240 Um, and they were, they're violating it by spying on us.

01:01:21.640 So the NSA was already pretty bad.

01:01:24.420 Um, the CIA was starting to be bad because of everything, the Intel in Iraq, the FBI was

01:01:32.960 clean, was pretty clean until Barack Obama.

01:01:36.220 And all of a sudden the FBI becomes, you know, a, uh, something where we can smuggle guns across

01:01:42.000 the border.

01:01:42.580 And even the secret service member, their problem, right?

01:01:45.160 So we don't have belief in those agencies in the last year, our president has said he

01:01:51.800 believes his information about Russia more than these three organizations and their information

01:01:58.760 on Russia.

01:01:59.760 And he's, he's been saying the same thing that the Clintons were saying, Russia's good. 0.96

01:02:05.400 They're not good.

01:02:06.520 They're not.

01:02:07.340 And we're doing more damage to ourselves and to our children on, you know, when, when Donald

01:02:15.760 Trump said, Hey, the United States is no better than Russia.

01:02:19.220 Yes, it is.

01:02:20.860 Yes, it is.

01:02:22.180 Let's not forget who Putin is.

01:02:26.100 Putin is a stone cold killer.

01:02:28.860 He is not the president of the United States, not even the worst president of the United

01:02:35.420 States.

01:02:36.560 Bill, thank you so much for your call.

01:02:38.120 Let me go to Brenda in California. 0.99

01:02:39.940 Hello, Brenda. 0.94

01:02:41.860 Hi there.

01:02:42.580 I simply thought that Donald Jr.

01:02:44.280 was a lot smarter than that.

01:02:45.940 And, um, I'm pretty disappointed.

01:02:48.280 I was a Trump voter.

01:02:49.140 I was all in for Ted Cruz and I went to go vote and I almost wrote another McMullen, but

01:02:54.720 I panicked at the thought of Hillary Clinton becoming the president. 1.00

01:02:58.300 I know I have six young children and you know, I'm in California in the, one of the last

01:03:03.840 conservative pockets of California.

01:03:05.740 So I feel like we're being squeezed in a vice as it is.

01:03:08.500 Oh yeah.

01:03:09.580 And this just feeds the fire. 0.52

01:03:11.320 Really?

01:03:13.680 You know, we have these debates even in our newspaper with people being angry and blaming

01:03:18.420 Trump voters and working on forgiving us.

01:03:23.080 And I have a hard time justifying this one.

01:03:25.300 The part that I can't rationalize, I get the fact, oh, that's great.

01:03:30.020 You've got information.

01:03:31.100 I love it.

01:03:32.180 But when you specifically say this summer sometime or however he worded it, I can't really rationalize

01:03:39.320 that.

01:03:40.240 No.

01:03:40.960 And, you know, I can't go, I can't even go to accepting the meeting unless, I mean, if

01:03:46.620 it was me, um, uh, I would say, um, you know, call the FBI, do a sting operation here.

01:03:57.340 We can't, we can't have the Russians hacking now at the time though. 0.89

01:04:02.360 Here's what's really interesting.

01:04:03.640 Pat, do you have the speech that, uh, Trump gave five hours later?

01:04:07.660 I don't.

01:04:10.320 Yeah.

01:04:10.560 We put it in earlier.

01:04:11.500 Yeah.

01:04:11.700 Okay.

01:04:12.080 So we're sorry about Hillary.

01:04:13.500 Yeah.

01:04:13.680 I want you to listen to this now, Brenda, thanks for your call.

01:04:16.060 I want, I want you to hear, I really believe that I'm going to take Donald Trump Jr.

01:04:23.320 You know, at his word.

01:04:24.760 I do not believe him because he's lied to us for a year, but I'm just going to take him

01:04:29.340 at his word and say nothing happened.

01:04:31.160 This, if you do that and you read that email, it doesn't say that they were hacking.

01:04:38.120 It doesn't say any of that.

01:04:39.240 It said that they had, um, information on Hillary Clinton's dealings in Russia.

01:04:46.440 Now, what does that make you think of?

01:04:48.420 That makes me think of the uranium deal of the, yeah, uranium deal where remember Hillary

01:04:53.420 Clinton just signed over all our uranium.

01:04:55.640 Well, okay, that's a big scandal.

01:05:00.740 So this meeting happens a few days before they get a note that says, Hey, as part of

01:05:08.360 the ongoing Russian government support for your father, we have documents and things about

01:05:16.080 Hillary Clinton's dealings with Russia that will be very, very good for your dad. 0.78

01:05:23.600 All right.

01:05:24.200 You go in and you tell dad, dad, I think we're going to have some good things coming

01:05:28.240 our way.

01:05:29.040 You immediately think because it's Russian dealings.

01:05:31.580 Oh my gosh, he is going for, they're going to give us the stuff on the uranium.

01:05:36.300 Five hours after the meeting, Donald Trump holds a press conference where he says this.

01:05:43.420 Secretary Clinton even did all of the work on a totally illegal private server. 1.00

01:05:50.000 Something that how she's getting away with this folks, nobody understands designed to keep 1.00

01:05:56.380 her corrupt dealings out of the public record, putting the security of the entire country

01:06:01.780 at risk.

01:06:02.340 And a president in a corrupt system is totally protecting her. 0.90

01:06:07.380 Not right.

01:06:09.100 I am going to give a major speech on probably Monday of next week.

01:06:16.600 And we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons.

01:06:21.360 I think you're going to find it very informative and very, very interesting.

01:06:25.300 Hillary Clinton turned the State Department into a private hedge fund.

01:06:31.240 The Russians, the Saudis, the Chinese all gave money to Bill and Hillary and got favorable

01:06:37.660 treatment in return.

01:06:38.980 So, when he's saying this, she turns it into the Russians.

01:06:46.220 Kushner's wife, Ivanka, turns and looks at Eric and smiles.

01:06:55.220 Now, could be nothing.

01:06:58.120 Or no, not Eric, Jared.

01:07:00.840 Looks at Jared and smiles.

01:07:03.380 Could be nothing.

01:07:04.040 But remember, five hours before they were in a meeting that was supposedly, go ahead, Stu.

01:07:13.480 I believe that five hours before they confirmed the meeting was going to happen about the

01:07:17.880 information.

01:07:18.460 It had not occurred yet.

01:07:19.820 Right.

01:07:20.260 So, remember, when the meeting occurs, they were speculating on what they were going to

01:07:25.060 get.

01:07:25.160 That's right.

01:07:25.380 So, two days later, the meeting happens.

01:07:27.620 You're right.

01:07:28.100 It's five hours after they confirm the meeting that it's happening.

01:07:31.340 So, he says, he's gearing up.

01:07:34.560 I'm going to do a big speech, probably in the next couple of days, where I'm going to

01:07:39.320 lay all of her stuff out.

01:07:40.760 He's just gotten the email that says, we have all this information.

01:07:45.680 We're going to give it to you about the dealings.

01:07:48.080 And he talks about the uranium.

01:07:50.040 Now, let's just take Donald Trump Jr.

01:07:56.380 At his word and say, forget about the lying.

01:07:59.560 Forget about everything.

01:08:00.800 Forget about all of that.

01:08:03.440 The reason why this is dangerous is because we now, as people, have to be loyal.

01:08:11.820 We have to figure out where our loyalty goes.

01:08:14.900 Where does our loyalty go?

01:08:16.140 Our loyalty has to go to our vision of America, our children, and to our nation's security.

01:08:26.020 Here's the problem.

01:08:28.280 Let's say Donald Trump knew nothing.

01:08:31.140 And all that Donald J.

01:08:32.960 All that Donald J.

01:08:33.980 Trump Jr.

01:08:34.800 knew was that they did try to contact.

01:08:38.440 And they did.

01:08:39.740 They said they had all of this information.

01:08:41.940 Then we know that Russia, through WikiLeaks, dumped all the information.

01:08:46.860 Then they dumped all the DNC.

01:08:50.340 We know that the FBI and the CIA all say that that was Russia that did it.

01:08:55.580 Donald Jr.

01:08:56.440 knows that, at least in this email, I didn't get anything from that meeting, but at least in this email,

01:09:01.900 they are saying that they have government support for us.

01:09:06.780 Dad, I have to tell you, you know, I didn't tell you this before, but this email, they said that they were supporting us.

01:09:17.520 All right, well, let's not bring that up now.

01:09:20.120 We're in the middle of an election.

01:09:21.500 Okay.

01:09:23.140 When Dad starts to talk about the FBI and the CIA and I have better intelligence, we've all asked what intelligence?

01:09:31.480 Was it Russian intelligence?

01:09:32.960 We don't know.

01:09:36.540 Was it nothing?

01:09:38.440 Probably.

01:09:39.220 I think when Donald Trump says, I have better intelligence, he doesn't have anything.

01:09:43.020 It's just the way he speaks.

01:09:45.320 But does not Donald Jr.

01:09:48.020 come to him and go, Dad, remember I told you and you wanted me to hold off telling you stuff?

01:09:52.820 Okay, I have to tell you now.

01:09:54.500 I believe the FBI is right.

01:09:56.920 There's no collusion here because we didn't get anything.

01:09:59.820 But you need to say, hey, this happened.

01:10:05.940 And if you don't say that, fine.

01:10:07.820 Okay, I'll even give you that one.

01:10:10.440 But you don't go on and say, Russia is clean and the FBI is wrong.

01:10:17.260 More importantly, you don't go and meet with Putin and say, we should team up on cyber security.

01:10:26.820 This is really bad.

01:10:29.000 And so we don't know.

01:10:30.800 Because of this, we don't know what.

01:10:34.100 We know that Donald J. Trump Jr. should have told his father, assuming that he didn't.

01:10:39.980 The second thing is, I believe that the woman coming in, she could have just said, by the way, thanks for your time.

01:10:51.460 I just want to read poetry to you.

01:10:53.960 Let me just read poetry to you.

01:10:55.620 What the hell?

01:10:56.060 It doesn't even make any sense.

01:10:57.280 You said you had these.

01:10:58.600 Oh, I just want to talk to you about adoption and poetry.

01:11:01.700 Get the hell out.

01:11:02.560 Russia wins because they now have, they've done the damage to the DNC and Hillary. 0.78

01:11:12.080 They've done now the damage.

01:11:13.760 They have blackmail points on Donald J. Jr.

01:11:18.180 They know what that means.

01:11:19.740 You met with somebody after receiving a piece of information that says, we're doing a big campaign for you, which we weren't.

01:11:28.500 But it doesn't even matter because you took the meeting and said, wow, that's great.

01:11:33.240 We now have a blackmail point on you.

01:11:35.560 Be nice to us or we can leak that at any time.

01:11:37.320 Correct.

01:11:38.200 And let's say they made a deal and they're like, okay, no, we're cool.

01:11:42.140 We're cool.

01:11:45.020 The problem with this is, is we're now trying to take the advice of this woman who was in the meeting and saying, no, she says she's not a KGB agent.

01:11:55.100 It doesn't, it doesn't matter.

01:11:57.040 Even with no blackmail, we now have put the president in question.

01:12:02.640 We don't know if we should believe him.

01:12:04.720 His own supporters are starting to wonder if they should believe him.

01:12:08.860 And we really can't tell.

01:12:11.280 We don't believe the press.

01:12:13.280 The press doesn't believe the president.

01:12:15.540 We don't believe the press.

01:12:17.540 Who wins?

01:12:19.200 Russia.

01:12:19.660 Russia's the only one that everybody's looking at on both sides and saying, well, we can believe her, right? 1.00

01:12:28.400 No, no, we can't.

01:13:47.400 So we're looking for some other interesting angles on this with Trey Gowdy.

01:13:52.200 It was quite good.

01:13:53.700 We didn't play Alan Dershowitz, who defended Donald Trump and Donald Jr. from crime.

01:14:00.240 He's like, this is not a crime.

01:14:02.300 He said it could be impeachable because that's just whatever anybody in the Senate wants.

01:14:05.740 That's more political crime.

01:14:07.280 Right.

01:14:07.380 But David French said the same thing.

01:14:09.220 Yeah, not a crime.

01:14:10.140 Not a crime.

01:14:12.460 But we really, I really want to hear from you today.

01:14:16.080 I want to hear how you're feeling.

01:14:17.200 I want to hear what you're thinking.

01:14:31.340 They're going to learn from us by watching us.

01:14:32.940 And they've learned a lot already.

01:14:34.140 But now we're into something where we have lies involved, just like we did with Clinton and all of the untold consequences that happened because of the Clintons back in the 90s.

01:14:49.660 Play this out in 10 years.

01:14:52.040 We don't want to sell our moral story out.

01:16:26.340 Would you like to take a break from the Donald Trump stuff?

01:16:32.620 And here's something that is even more outrageous, however, has a good ending, has a good story.

01:16:40.740 You won't feel so alone.

01:16:42.120 There is a story about a guy who was a Canadian-born Al-Qaeda militant who killed one of our soldiers and blinded another, who just got a $10 million payment from the Canadian courts.

01:16:59.520 This is such an outrageous story.

01:17:03.380 However, there is such a great, I was going to say ending, but a new chapter to this story that you are going to love.

01:17:14.680 We're going to start there right now.

01:17:16.200 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:17:37.840 We have a Canadian journalist and broadcaster, Brian Lilly, who was on yesterday with Pat and Stu and also Michael Opelka on the Blaze Radio Network and took us through this story.

01:17:56.580 And I want you to hear it.

01:17:59.000 Brian, welcome to the program.

01:18:00.180 How are you?

01:18:01.520 Great, Glenn, and great to talk to you guys any chance I get, but especially on this where you guys are allowing me to reach out to people and say, look, you're angry.

01:18:10.600 Let's do something good with it.

01:18:12.080 Okay, so this is a fantastic story.

01:18:14.740 Take us down and tell us the story of this Canadian-born Al-Qaeda member.

01:18:20.300 Yeah, and just off the top, just to make you more angry, I'll just say that you're falling for the same line that a lot of Canadians are falling for in thinking the courts ordered this settlement.

01:18:33.140 This was a negotiated settlement with Justin, I've got great hair and socks, Trudeau, our beloved prime minister.

01:18:40.380 He is actually the one that has decided that this goes forward.

01:18:43.800 But to give you the background, Omar Khadr was born in Toronto back in 1986, I think it was.

01:18:51.480 Mostly raised in Pakistan and Afghanistan because his parents didn't think the West was a good influence on him and thought that guys like Osama bin Laden were nicer folks and better influences.

01:19:01.680 He literally lived in Osama bin Laden's compound for a while.

01:19:04.920 His dad was tight with the Al-Qaeda boss, was one of the financiers to help put together the money for the 9-11 attacks.

01:19:11.760 His father was.

01:19:13.340 His father was.

01:19:14.820 But all the boys at one point or another took up the jihad.

01:19:19.700 And so Omar Khadr's 15, 2002, July, he ends up in this compound, four to five hour firefight with the Delta Force that was trying to take it.

01:19:31.220 So, I mean, they gave as good as they, if you're taking on Delta Force, you are obviously, you've got some skill as soldiers.

01:19:38.800 So, he's in there.

01:19:40.880 The firefight's over.

01:19:42.780 Sergeant Christopher Spears, Sergeant Lane Morris, and others go in looking for survivors, looking to tend to the wounded.

01:19:48.540 It's what you do after a battle.

01:19:51.100 Omar Khadr throws a grenade that kills Sergeant First Class Christopher Spear and takes the eyesight, and I believe it's the left eye of Sergeant Lane Morris.

01:20:00.980 Sometimes, American medics then make sure that Omar Khadr, who was about to bleed out, survives and is given medical treatment.

01:20:10.860 Christopher Spear never gets the same medical treatment, but he doesn't survive.

01:20:14.960 Omar Khadr does.

01:20:15.920 He's shipped off to Gitmo, spends a bunch of years there, admits to, in a plea deal before the courts, he was facing charges.

01:20:24.440 He said, I'll take a plea deal, admits that he was aiding and embedding a terrorist organization, admits he violated the rules of laws of war, admits he killed Christopher Spear, and agrees to serve time in jail.

01:20:36.860 Well, he gets transferred back to Canada because Obama wanted him gone and put a lot of pressure on our previous prime minister, the sensible guy, Stephen Harper.

01:20:47.840 Harper eventually says, yeah, we'll take him back after a lot of fighting, and then a Canadian court pretty much almost immediately orders him released, and he sues the Canadian government for $20 million.

01:21:00.240 And they decide that they're going to settle for $10 and a half for violating his rights while he's at Gitmo.

01:21:08.040 How did they violate his rights? How did the Canadian government violate him?

01:21:11.000 Did dogs bark near him?

01:21:13.000 No, but they did talk to him.

01:21:16.320 Dogs talked to him?

01:21:19.300 Because he was in American custody.

01:21:21.460 But they didn't shine any bright lights in his eyes. Tell me that didn't happen.

01:21:25.300 No, seriously, what did he claim the Canadian government did?

01:21:32.560 Well, because he was in American custody at Gitmo, and he did not face waterboarding, he didn't have jumper cables attached to his junk and electricity sent through,

01:21:47.980 but he was part of what was called the frequent flyer program.

01:21:51.020 Now, there's a lot of argument about whether that constitutes torture.

01:21:54.940 Our courts have never said that. It's enhanced interrogation.

01:21:57.720 I don't know what the frequent flyer program is.

01:21:59.860 Oh, frequent flyer program. Sorry, that's where they wake you up every few hours and don't let you get a good night's sleep.

01:22:04.360 Oh my gosh, no.

01:22:05.220 You don't get your sleep number bed or your Casper bed or anything like that.

01:22:08.340 You just get crappy sleep.

01:22:11.060 And, you know, this is something that people have been through the military have experienced.

01:22:15.160 New parents, college students, they've all experienced this.

01:22:18.020 Sure, yeah, you're not feeling great, but it's not torture.

01:22:22.260 Michael Ignatius, who used to be an academic before becoming a politician, he'd written about this in early 2000s, that this is just enhanced interrogation.

01:22:31.080 It is not torture.

01:22:33.200 Our courts never found it torture.

01:22:34.560 But because Canadian officials went down to Gitmo and interviewed him after he had his sleep messed up, they said, well, that's a violation of his rights.

01:22:42.880 But they never said you've got to pay him.

01:22:45.520 They just said this was part of a previous court action where he wanted to be repatriated from Gitmo to Canada to spend time in a Canadian jail.

01:22:54.340 They just said, you go and talk to the Americans and figure something out to make it right.

01:22:58.980 But that's all they never said, Pam, but they now they've given him ten and a half million dollars in the kicker.

01:23:05.740 Justin Trudeau and his government worked with Cotter's lawyers to speed up the payment to keep it out of the public eye so that it could be shielded from a court action launched by the widow of Christopher Speer.

01:23:18.880 Oh, my gosh.

01:23:20.960 That's unbelievable.

01:23:22.020 Oh, my gosh.

01:23:22.880 I mean, this is one of the most incredible stories.

01:23:24.540 OK, so so where is he now?

01:23:28.000 What's he going to can he take that money and then take it out of Canada?

01:23:32.900 Can I mean, are we going to be tracing the money, a guy who doesn't seem to be remorseful?

01:23:38.480 There's speculation that he because he got the money before the public knew, before the government would confirm anything to the public.

01:23:46.120 There's speculation that it's already either in a trust designed to protect it against the lawsuit or in a corporation or offshore.

01:23:56.340 It could be in the Bahamas somewhere or it could be in Pakistan.

01:23:59.860 It could be.

01:24:01.200 I mean, we've heard the story that British government paid off one of their former Gitmo guys with millions and millions of pounds.

01:24:08.680 And what did he do?

01:24:09.460 He used the money to turn around and fund ISIS and then went off and joined the Jihad.

01:24:14.000 But thankfully, he recently died on the battlefield.

01:24:16.520 He says Omar Khadr says he's not going to do that.

01:24:19.180 But he's sitting on a ton of money.

01:24:21.540 Tap with the spear and her two kids, Taryn and Tanner, they get bupkis from this. 0.98

01:24:27.080 And I just don't think that's right.

01:24:29.160 And that's why I launched the campaign Spearkids.com, S-P-E-E-R-Kids.com, to try and show, look, not everybody's on board with this.

01:24:40.700 We set a goal of a million bucks.

01:24:42.400 It's an ambitious goal, but I think it could be done.

01:24:47.220 And right now, you're a Canadian.

01:24:49.480 You're a Canadian.

01:24:50.920 And so this this hundred grand has come primarily.

01:24:54.340 Is that what you've raised so far, about a hundred grand?

01:24:56.660 And that's come primarily from Canada, right?

01:25:01.220 Yes, it has.

01:25:02.020 OK.

01:25:02.860 And think about that for a moment here.

01:25:04.200 This is Brian's a Canadian broadcaster, someone who was born in Canada, then went and killed an American, an American military member.

01:25:14.620 And Brian is raising money for the American family right now.

01:25:19.520 I mean, you know, that is a really it's a pretty impressive thing here, Brian, that you're doing.

01:25:24.540 And it's it's important because, I mean, this is one of the most outrageous stories I've ever heard in my entire life.

01:25:30.880 The man killed somebody.

01:25:32.340 He's a terrorist.

01:25:33.560 He's admitted to these terrible things.

01:25:35.620 He's now no longer not only just if it was just released and that was the end of the story, it would be insane.

01:25:41.360 Instead, the man is becoming a multimillionaire because of this.

01:25:45.280 It's incredible.

01:25:46.020 We're only 11 percent of the way there.

01:25:48.040 So go to Spearkids dot com and contribute to this.

01:25:52.780 Yeah, most of it's coming in from small donations.

01:25:54.700 We've got a few big donors.

01:25:56.700 But, you know, I keep saying even, you know, you do these fundraising campaigns for various things and people say, well, I'm not well off.

01:26:03.360 You know what?

01:26:03.720 Even 10 bucks.

01:26:05.140 Enough people give 10 bucks.

01:26:06.460 It's there.

01:26:07.100 If you've got deeper pockets, you know your situation and you can give 10,000.

01:26:10.800 Then, hey, great.

01:26:12.040 I'm not going to say no.

01:26:13.220 Yeah.

01:26:13.680 But it's it really is.

01:26:15.600 We've done remarkable things with $10 donations.

01:26:21.280 This audience is is the most giving audience I really believe ever in radio.

01:26:27.140 You know, I know your audience, Glenn, because I am your audience.

01:26:30.620 I'm part of it.

01:26:31.400 And and so I hear the enthusiasm and and the love that comes out of you and the boys and the audience.

01:26:38.900 And that's why I'm so grateful for you to give me this opportunity to ask people to join this campaign.

01:26:45.240 Canadians and Americans have fought side by side in war after war.

01:26:49.480 We were side by side in Afghanistan.

01:26:50.980 And, you know, Chris Spear was part of the Delta Force at American Special Forces Unit.

01:26:57.400 A little bit of history for you.

01:26:58.560 The very first special forces unit in the world was a joint Canadian-American operation in the First World War.

01:27:04.380 We even had our own units together.

01:27:06.180 So we're brothers in arms here.

01:27:08.320 And so join me in the campaign for the Spear kids, please.

01:27:12.180 And real quick, I don't mean to call you out here, Brian, but you, I think, left out something important.

01:27:17.580 Yes, he was a terrorist.

01:27:18.720 Yes, he killed somebody.

01:27:20.520 Yes, you're raising money for this family.

01:27:22.740 And that's all great.

01:27:23.520 But what you've neglected to mention is the terrorist now wants to become a nurse.

01:27:28.260 And that may warm the hearts a little bit.

01:27:30.620 Can you imagine the good he could do?

01:27:31.960 I mean, can you imagine if you're going in, you're getting surgery?

01:27:34.680 As a multimillionaire nurse, he could do so much.

01:27:39.740 I am just aghast at the thought of being in a hospital bed one day.

01:27:44.980 And that man walks in to look after whatever is wrong with me.

01:27:49.800 Oh, I'm sure you'd get the best of treatment.

01:27:54.120 All right, Brian.

01:27:55.400 Most of the media up here is behind him.

01:27:58.520 And that's the scary part.

01:27:59.640 They're behind him.

01:28:01.000 They're defending the government.

01:28:02.740 But a new poll out just two days ago shows 71% of Canadians are outraged by this.

01:28:07.960 They hate it.

01:28:09.000 So, you know, normal people know this is wrong.

01:28:12.160 And they don't want Omar Khadar giving them a spot.

01:28:14.660 We are very different countries.

01:28:20.820 But we are not that different as people.

01:28:23.420 Canada has always been close.

01:28:26.480 And we've always been close to Canada.

01:28:28.600 You know, except for the times that we had to kick your ass. 0.85

01:28:32.340 But we've always been close.

01:28:35.980 And it means a lot to Americans to have a Canadian start this.

01:28:42.600 And we hope that more Canadians involve themselves in this, even $5 a time.

01:28:48.300 And us as well.

01:28:49.780 If you'd like to help, go to SpearKids.com.

01:28:53.660 That's SpearKids.com.

01:28:56.660 Thank you, Brian.

01:28:57.440 We'll talk to you again.

01:28:58.980 Thank you.

01:28:59.500 You bet.

01:29:00.500 Keep us up to date on that, Stu.

01:29:01.900 Will you follow that story?

01:29:02.860 Yeah, definitely.

01:29:03.560 Make sure we know what he's doing and how it's going.

01:29:07.840 It feels good to have, to know that 71% of Canadians are offended by that.

01:29:14.140 You know, what's up with 29%?

01:29:15.900 I wonder if 79, yeah, I know.

01:29:17.520 But I wonder if 71% of Americans would be upset by that if we paid.

01:29:21.040 I would hope it would be higher than that.

01:29:22.460 I would hope so, too.

01:29:23.500 But would it?

01:29:25.260 I don't know.

01:29:26.540 Would it be as high if that had happened to a Canadian soldier?

01:29:33.220 I know we would be the first to say we have got to raise money for this family in Canada.

01:29:40.220 But would it be the same?

01:29:42.220 Would people feel that way?

01:29:44.900 I don't know.

01:30:13.760 Somebody breaks a window, open up a window.

01:30:17.140 The alarms go off.

01:30:19.020 And you don't have to have them all wired.

01:30:21.100 There is no wiring with SimpliSafe.

01:30:34.420 I mean, if you squint really hard, you're like, okay, I am trying to make you blurry by squinting really hard.

01:30:39.860 Yeah, you kind of look like that guy.

01:30:41.780 This is a high-definition security camera.

01:30:44.440 With security for you and the family, it closes until the alarms go off.

01:30:49.980 Then it's triggered and the lens opens up.

01:31:26.480 Mercury.

01:31:30.100 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:31:32.680 We go to Travis in Idaho.

01:31:35.060 Hello, Travis.

01:31:35.640 You're on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:31:37.680 Hello, Glenn.

01:31:38.840 Thank you for taking my call.

01:31:40.180 You're welcome.

01:31:40.580 I'll get right to the point.

01:31:44.720 First of all, my wife and I love you.

01:31:46.260 I've been listening since you put together a time capsule for Rafi many years ago.

01:31:51.020 Oh, my gosh.

01:31:51.540 Thank you.

01:31:53.220 You're very welcome.

01:31:54.220 Thank you for all you do.

01:31:55.080 I wonder where that time capsule is now.

01:31:59.620 All right.

01:32:00.140 Go ahead.

01:32:00.420 I know it's a very controversial stand, but we love all three of you, including Jesse.

01:32:08.560 Whoa.

01:32:09.160 Oh, wow.

01:32:10.040 You just lost all credibility.

01:32:11.940 All credibility went out the door.

01:32:13.600 But there's four of us here.

01:32:14.700 I don't understand.

01:32:16.200 What did you say?

01:32:18.040 So go ahead.

01:32:18.600 So John Adams stated that our Constitution was designed for moral and religious people

01:32:26.260 and wholly inadequate to the governing of any other.

01:32:28.620 And, you know, our society has gotten or has passed the tipping point where probably more

01:32:36.640 than half of us are no longer that moral and religious people.

01:32:40.400 And I don't think the question is any longer who we can send to Washington or how much we

01:32:47.360 spend on elections, but rather how do we help our people return to being that moral and religious

01:32:54.140 people.

01:32:56.620 Ezra Taft Benson stated in 1987 that there would be a staff upon which the nation might lean in

01:33:04.060 time of great peril.

01:33:05.080 And I think that that staff is something that needs to happen intentionally, and it is my

01:33:14.640 life's work to pursue that and to bring together people for that.

01:33:21.300 He also stated that through members of the Church, and I believe, as you've stated many

01:33:30.100 times, your audience, that the righteous of the nation will be gathered together to defend

01:33:37.040 that Constitution.

01:33:38.760 Well, I'm hoping, Travis, that the gathering of the righteous to defend the Constitution doesn't

01:33:48.380 actually have to go into a hot war, but into gathering together of our minds and our children's,

01:33:58.940 you know.

01:33:59.980 Standing up for it.

01:34:00.740 Yeah.

01:34:01.200 Thank you, Travis, for your call.

01:34:02.840 I really, you know, go ahead.

01:34:06.520 Well, and I believe much of that has to do with the coming together of churches, regardless

01:34:11.660 of denomination, and standing together as one Christian body.

01:34:16.140 Yep, I agree.

01:34:17.040 And affecting our nation from the bottom up, not from the top down.

01:34:22.520 Otherwise, you know.

01:34:25.000 Yeah, nothing is going to work.

01:34:26.220 I don't think anything is going to work from the top down anymore.

01:34:30.200 Just everything has changed so much.

01:34:32.160 Travis, thanks for your phone call.

01:34:33.300 And, by the way, I'm assuming Travis is not talking about some one, you know, world religion

01:34:39.720 when he says, bring in all of our fights together.

01:34:42.940 That's just all of us standing together, each with our own faith.

01:34:46.280 Joe in New York.

01:34:47.260 Go ahead, Joe.

01:34:49.280 Hi.

01:34:49.720 Yeah, I think Trump is going to be a one-term president by his own choosing.

01:34:57.960 Why do you say that?

01:34:59.040 In the past, he's come out and said that his old job was more fun than his current job.

01:35:06.540 You know, maybe, Joe, I will tell you, to walk away from the presidency, I think, would

01:35:14.320 be very, very difficult.

01:35:16.260 Thanks, Joe.

01:35:16.800 I mean, he's already held fundraisers, right?

01:35:18.300 Let me go.

01:35:18.820 Yeah, could that kill you yesterday, hearing that?

01:35:21.200 That fundraisers were going on yesterday?

01:35:23.140 Kirk in Indiana.

01:35:24.680 Hello, Kirk.

01:35:26.240 Hey, Glenn.

01:35:26.940 You know, I didn't vote for Trump.

01:35:30.120 I actually voted for the guy out in Utah.

01:35:33.160 I'm not a Trump supporter, and I am so tired of hearing about Trump, about Trump's family,

01:35:41.640 about what they do.

01:35:42.780 I don't care.

01:35:44.400 I don't care.

01:35:45.200 Okay, I got it.

01:35:46.020 I got it.

01:35:46.460 I got it.

01:35:47.060 I'm trying to, I wanted to talk to people who weren't wearing team jerseys, and you do

01:35:50.740 sound like you're wearing a team jersey here.

01:35:53.280 No, no, no, no.

01:35:54.020 What I want to hear about are the 50 idiots in the Senate who can't get their head unstuck

01:36:01.120 to get something done.

01:36:02.980 The 120 people who are in the House who can't seem to figure out that people want them out

01:36:08.960 of their back pocket.

01:36:10.280 Let's get taxes done. 0.66

01:36:13.200 Kirk, I have to tell you, we're going to go there next, because this is going to make your

01:36:21.360 head explode.

01:36:22.160 Rand Paul just came out and said, they're just going to leave Obamacare alone.

01:36:28.120 They're just going to stop trying to repeal Obamacare. 0.70

01:36:31.420 That's next.

01:36:33.320 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:36:36.800 Mercury.

01:36:40.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:36:42.760 Which book are you talking about?

01:36:46.300 Stop assigning people books.

01:36:47.980 You should have to assign people books.

01:36:49.840 That is not a question that is normal.

01:36:51.700 What book are you talking about?

01:36:53.240 Well, you've assigned 65.

01:36:55.280 No wonder you can't keep track of them.

01:36:56.840 Well, it's just 66.

01:36:58.640 No, come on. 0.85

01:36:59.420 Seriously.

01:37:00.260 I have not assigned you guys 66 books.

01:37:02.500 How many books, honestly?

01:37:03.980 I mean...

01:37:04.560 37.

01:37:05.500 It's only 37.

01:37:06.740 In two weeks.

01:37:07.960 Yeah.

01:37:08.400 You've added quite a bit lately.

01:37:10.580 I think we're actually...

01:37:11.960 There were five.

01:37:12.460 There's eight.

01:37:13.160 There were five initially.

01:37:14.940 Initially, there were five.

01:37:16.060 Now, there's been two more?

01:37:17.340 At least seven or eight.

01:37:18.280 Yeah, we're at seven or eight.

01:37:19.000 I think we're at eight.

01:37:20.400 You gave us five, and then you assigned the rest of the company four, which we got screwed

01:37:24.240 on that deal totally.

01:37:25.380 We had to read an extra book.

01:37:27.960 But this is...

01:37:29.740 Did you see the story?

01:37:30.460 The only job that comes with a syllabus.

01:37:32.460 Yeah.

01:37:33.020 Well, I will say this.

01:37:34.180 You want to talk about extra books?

01:37:35.300 The one...

01:37:35.960 I'm reading a story in the New York Post.

01:37:37.940 Oh, from this weekend.

01:37:38.620 This evil right-wing publication, the New York Post.

01:37:42.860 And they say, what the brightest minds are reading this summer.

01:37:47.860 Which, for some reason, they've included you.

01:37:52.220 Which I don't know...

01:37:52.740 When did this start?

01:37:53.760 I don't know why.

01:37:54.460 You're being called one of the brightest minds.

01:37:56.840 Yeah.

01:37:57.040 Do you see the picture?

01:37:57.920 There was me...

01:37:58.780 Who was it?

01:37:59.300 It was me, the head of Citibank, and somebody else.

01:38:04.340 JP Morgan, Chief Jamie Diamond.

01:38:06.300 Jamie Diamond.

01:38:06.900 Jamie Diamond, and some other Wall Street guy.

01:38:09.640 And the headline said, what the brightest minds...

01:38:12.800 Some of the brightest minds are reading this summer.

01:38:15.320 And my picture is between those two.

01:38:16.780 And I'm like, wait a minute.

01:38:17.880 I think those two should belong in jail, maybe.

01:38:20.400 I'm sure it is.

01:38:22.780 Helpful.

01:38:23.220 Glenn Beck, the conservative media host, who has some diverse selections this season, including

01:38:29.220 The Righteous Mind, why good people are divided by politics and religion.

01:38:33.760 Which is on the list.

01:38:34.820 That was on the list.

01:38:35.600 That was on the list.

01:38:35.880 You guys loved, right?

01:38:37.060 Yeah, I like that one.

01:38:37.780 Yes.

01:38:38.280 And we've had a mom before.

01:38:39.480 He's really smart.

01:38:40.660 On the flip side, Beck is also reading Bob Dylan, A Spiritual Life by Scott Marshall.

01:38:45.220 This is really, I have to be honest with you, it's on the stack of books.

01:38:50.660 I'm trying to read a couple of other books.

01:38:53.420 I'm trying to get through the content trap, and I just finished Authenticity, which is

01:38:57.320 really good.

01:38:57.940 Finished that this weekend.

01:38:59.520 Next is...

01:39:00.020 Did you say eight or ten?

01:39:00.940 I did not assign that.

01:39:02.900 I didn't assign that.

01:39:03.500 That's on the list of, you guys might want to read that.

01:39:07.560 I gave that...

01:39:08.100 Which one?

01:39:09.320 Authenticity.

01:39:09.720 Authenticity and content trap.

01:39:10.820 Content trap was part of the mandate.

01:39:13.880 No, that's part of the new mandate.

01:39:15.200 The new mandate.

01:39:15.860 Yeah, I gave that to you a couple of days ago.

01:39:17.900 Yes.

01:39:18.880 Ted.

01:39:19.440 But...

01:39:20.340 I know it's hard for you, Jeffy, that reads comic books, but everybody else...

01:39:26.980 Yeah, and there's very few pictures in most of these books.

01:39:29.140 Oh, man.

01:39:29.860 It's really sad.

01:39:31.140 Is Friction not one of the best written books ever?

01:39:33.200 I really loved it.

01:39:33.880 I liked Friction.

01:39:34.500 It's really good.

01:39:35.100 I liked Friction a lot.

01:39:36.000 It was fun to read.

01:39:36.520 Yeah.

01:39:37.080 Yeah.

01:39:37.620 I mean...

01:39:38.460 Reminded me of the way we've formatted books.

01:39:40.820 Before.

01:39:41.320 Yeah.

01:39:41.460 You know, like...

01:39:41.940 Arguing with idiots.

01:39:42.860 The whole thing is about how your life is just full of friction, and reduce the friction

01:39:47.460 in your life, in your customer's life, and everything else, but you read it, and it's

01:39:52.100 just brilliant, especially, you get to the end of the book, at least I did, and I finished

01:39:55.720 it in like two hours.

01:39:56.920 How long did it take you guys to read it?

01:39:58.280 A week?

01:39:58.520 A couple hours?

01:39:59.020 A week and a half.

01:40:00.340 Seriously.

01:40:01.200 It's a really easy book.

01:40:02.520 It's like three days.

01:40:03.780 It's 300 pages, but you can zip through that book.

01:40:06.980 Mm-hmm.

01:40:07.420 And when you get to the end of it, did you realize, oh my gosh, they used that theory

01:40:14.100 on writing this book.

01:40:15.860 Right.

01:40:16.020 They used it on me.

01:40:17.000 Yeah.

01:40:17.260 Yeah.

01:40:17.320 Because you read it, and you're like, this is great.

01:40:19.400 I love this.

01:40:19.900 It's so easy to read.

01:40:21.160 It's so easy.

01:40:21.680 It's like the old Don LaPree philosophy.

01:40:23.380 You can make $100 million if I take tiny classified ads in your apartment.

01:40:29.080 Okay, but I think this one actually works.

01:40:30.360 But the problem with it was, he was just using that theory on you.

01:40:34.480 He was placing an ad to get you to buy nonsensical information.

01:40:38.400 Yes.

01:40:38.800 So that you would spend your money with him.

01:40:41.720 He was using the thing he was teaching you to make his money.

01:40:45.960 So it's almost as if-

01:40:46.880 The book was, it was just an attempt to utilize the philosophy he was teaching you.

01:40:51.320 That is really-

01:40:51.920 From his own one-bedroom apartment.

01:40:53.940 Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:40:55.420 It's almost as if someone is-

01:40:56.400 You guys should read The Overton Window.

01:41:02.300 The Overton Window 2.

01:41:04.520 Really?

01:41:05.800 Common Sense.

01:41:08.500 Arguing with idiots.

01:41:09.920 It's funny you bring that up, because I was on Amazon looking at one of these books.

01:41:13.740 It's Friction, I guess.

01:41:14.600 And they have Frequently Bought Together.

01:41:17.440 So, again, telling me this audience does not read.

01:41:19.980 Because conservatives don't read.

01:41:21.180 They don't read.

01:41:21.800 They just don't read.

01:41:22.600 Frequently Bought Together.

01:41:24.140 Friction.

01:41:25.100 Tribal Leadership.

01:41:28.460 And The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt.

01:41:29.920 Another one on the list.

01:41:30.680 Then it goes down and says, customers who bought this item also bought Tribal Leadership.

01:41:34.400 On the list.

01:41:35.240 Mistakes were made, but not by me.

01:41:36.800 On the list.

01:41:52.560 Then, Rediscovering Americanism and the Tyranny of Progressivism by Mark Levin on the list.

01:41:58.280 Written Out of History by Senator Mike Lee on the list.

01:42:12.080 Guest on the show.

01:42:12.660 Pendulum.

01:42:13.540 Another one you've talked about.

01:42:14.840 And actually, we had a caller about earlier today.

01:42:16.660 Ben Sasse, The Vanishing American Adult is on there.

01:42:20.340 The Little Things by Andy Andrews.

01:42:23.220 Deep Undercover by Jack Barsky.

01:42:25.160 Another guy who's been on the program.

01:42:26.260 Oh my gosh.

01:42:27.160 David Limbaugh, The True Jesus.

01:42:28.940 The Coming Insurrection.

01:42:30.680 The Coming Insurrection is on there.

01:42:32.940 Only this audience knows about The Coming Insurrection.

01:42:35.680 Michael Vey by Richard Paul Evans is on here.

01:42:38.420 Only this audience.

01:42:39.540 And only until we get there do we get Glenn Beck Liars, which is actually your book.

01:42:44.720 You keep telling people to read so many books.

01:42:46.840 No one reads your books.

01:42:50.500 That's incredible.

01:42:52.140 Yeah, it really is.

01:42:53.040 Everybody is.

01:42:54.540 Bruce Feiler's on here.

01:42:55.940 We've talked about before.

01:42:57.100 The Tom Coburn book we've talked about before is on here.

01:42:59.660 The Pope and the President, which is a great one from Paul Kangor.

01:43:03.460 The Tom Coburn book.

01:43:04.660 We had him on for that, right?

01:43:06.040 He didn't even know it was in his own book.

01:43:07.740 Yeah.

01:43:08.160 I don't know why.

01:43:09.080 That was a fun interview.

01:43:10.700 That was a bizarre interview.

01:43:12.320 That was a little difficult.

01:43:13.040 Hey, Tom.

01:43:13.720 So tell me about...

01:43:14.660 It's in the book.

01:43:16.840 Did I write about that?

01:43:18.180 I've never heard of that.

01:43:19.100 And then about a page like 10 of this is The Content Trap, the book you just mentioned

01:43:23.420 10 seconds ago.

01:43:24.700 That's great.

01:43:25.300 Unbelievable.

01:43:25.900 It really is ridiculous.

01:43:27.140 Yeah.

01:43:27.420 You know, it should be there.

01:43:28.480 So what year is the massive global warming, a warning from David Wall as well.

01:43:33.380 Hang on.

01:43:33.780 May I just say?

01:43:34.680 Yes.

01:43:34.960 So go to Friction on Amazon, buy that, and then just buy all the other books that say

01:43:40.620 customers also bought, and then you'll be set.

01:43:44.060 Then you'll have the list.

01:43:45.300 Shows how smart the algorithms are at Amazon, too, though.

01:43:48.460 I mean, they know what you want.

01:43:51.100 But you know what?

01:43:51.800 It also shows how smart the audience is.

01:43:54.180 It does.

01:43:55.480 Okay, go ahead, Stu.

01:43:56.640 Well, if you're going to buy these, you need to buy them quickly because we're about to

01:44:00.200 burn up.

01:44:01.100 Are we really?

01:44:01.560 Yes.

01:44:01.980 We're going to burst into flame at any moment.

01:44:04.200 No, seriously.

01:44:04.940 There's this article written, and who was it that came out on the left and said this

01:44:08.960 is ridiculous?

01:44:09.760 It's so...

01:44:10.860 This is so bad.

01:44:11.960 He's predicting an 11 or 12 degree temperature rise in a very short amount of time.

01:44:17.340 Who?

01:44:17.860 What?

01:44:18.220 And he's talking about things.

01:44:20.000 He's thrown in things like the Ives shelf in Antarctica that just broke off.

01:44:24.740 I think it finally happened today, right?

01:44:26.180 Oh, yeah.

01:44:26.560 But they've been looking to this because it was about to happen, because it had a huge

01:44:30.840 crack in it, and then it breaks off and starts floating around.

01:44:34.260 More on that in a second.

01:44:35.000 It's bigger than country.

01:44:35.840 More on this in a second.

01:44:36.720 Yeah, it's important.

01:44:37.620 Yeah, okay.

01:44:38.440 Because of my understanding, it's an ice shelf.

01:44:41.240 It's an ice shelf.

01:44:41.840 It moves.

01:44:42.720 Yes.

01:44:42.840 It's like a glacier, is it not?

01:44:44.300 Yes.

01:44:44.900 Yes.

01:44:45.100 And it gets so big and so heavy that eventually it breaks.

01:44:49.600 Ice, we need to look up the definition of breaking and melting.

01:44:54.260 They're not the same.

01:44:55.420 Yeah, it's called calving, isn't it?

01:44:57.020 Breaking and calving is different than melting ice.

01:45:00.200 Right.

01:45:00.520 If the ice would have melted, that'd be an issue.

01:45:02.300 Right.

01:45:02.680 Calving is natural and normal in a glacier.

01:45:06.560 He is saying that Miami and Bangladesh are not going to be habitable.

01:45:11.320 When?

01:45:12.160 Like this afternoon?

01:45:13.340 Within the next 50 to 100 years.

01:45:15.780 50 to 100 years.

01:45:16.700 Okay, well, everybody in Miami and maybe India will kill each other by the time we get 1.00

01:45:21.980 to 100 years from now.

01:45:23.040 Yeah, but we're all going to burn up anyway in a heat death.

01:45:25.220 11 or 12 degrees of warming will kill half the world's population.

01:45:29.880 But we'll put ourselves out with the water rise.

01:45:32.660 Oh, right.

01:45:35.120 Ow, ow, I'm on fire.

01:45:36.580 Don't worry.

01:45:37.360 Here comes the water.

01:45:38.400 He also says that the, some area, because I think it's called the, what is it, Uninhabitable

01:45:46.960 Earth or something?

01:45:48.040 Yeah.

01:45:48.460 And what is it, New Yorker, New Yorker or something like that?

01:45:51.960 Do you have the publication, Pat?

01:45:54.160 I don't have the article in front of me.

01:45:55.280 I can't remember which one it was.

01:45:56.060 But it says something to the effect of, right now, even, many, the tropics are basically

01:46:03.260 uninhabitable.

01:46:04.000 He's also saying it's basically too late to do anything about it, too.

01:46:07.100 But I mean, there's 3 billion people who live near the tropics.

01:46:11.380 What do you mean it's uninhabitable?

01:46:12.760 3 billion people live there.

01:46:14.680 Can I tell you something?

01:46:15.580 Yes.

01:46:16.420 Have you ever been down towards the equator?

01:46:18.760 Way too hot.

01:46:19.560 It's way too hot.

01:46:20.280 It is.

01:46:20.780 It is.

01:46:20.920 Way too hot.

01:46:21.640 It's warm here.

01:46:22.120 Have you been to Texas?

01:46:23.140 Oh, we live in Texas.

01:46:24.280 It's way too hot.

01:46:25.520 But you notice you live there.

01:46:27.020 Yeah.

01:46:27.600 But I live here in air-conditioned comfort.

01:46:30.720 Honestly, I've had this conversation with my wife a million times.

01:46:34.200 How did anyone live here 100 years ago?

01:46:39.260 Without air conditioning?

01:46:40.140 Yeah.

01:46:40.260 Oh, my gosh.

01:46:41.080 It's a great question.

01:46:41.840 I don't know.

01:46:43.360 When men were men. 0.92

01:46:44.200 I don't know.

01:46:45.040 It had to be.

01:46:45.920 How did you live in Arizona or Texas?

01:46:48.800 Well, it wasn't warm then.

01:46:49.860 It was actually 17 degrees in the summer.

01:46:51.940 It wasn't really hot.

01:46:53.060 Wow.

01:46:53.320 It is getting warmer.

01:46:54.280 So, this article is so crazy and just apocalyptic that even Michael Mann, the scientist who came

01:47:03.400 up with the hockey stick, is critical of it.

01:47:06.020 Oh, my gosh.

01:47:06.660 Even he.

01:47:07.340 Now, he is.

01:47:08.420 Wow.

01:47:08.820 He sued conservative commentators for saying that he's wrong about global warming.

01:47:13.380 Sued them. 0.92

01:47:14.820 And yet, even he is saying, I don't like this apocalyptic talk.

01:47:18.920 That's how far this guy went.

01:47:20.340 But it's funny because you see everyone going crazy with that article and then also the article

01:47:25.920 about the massive iceberg that breaks away from Antarctica.

01:47:28.760 And so many people who are big global warming alarmists are sharing this article.

01:47:32.480 I don't think they read it.

01:47:34.640 They couldn't have.

01:47:35.380 Because if you go down and you read the quotes from the experts.

01:47:37.540 Every story I've seen on it has actually told the truth.

01:47:39.760 Yeah.

01:47:40.380 This is a quote from the people who are studying it.

01:47:43.580 We've been anticipating this event for months, and we've been surprised at how long it took

01:47:48.720 for the rift to break through the final kilometers of ice.

01:47:51.480 He goes on and says, this is part of the normal behavior of ice shelves.

01:47:56.540 What makes this unusual is the size.

01:47:58.880 Okay.

01:47:59.220 Well, what are you saying?

01:48:00.080 Yeah.

01:48:00.300 Then you go down and you find another quote.

01:48:01.780 This is on, we're on about paragraph 12.

01:48:04.880 First of all, Luckman says, this is a guy with a study, says that the sheet of ice was already

01:48:09.460 floating before it carved off the shelf ice.

01:48:11.500 There will be no immediate impact.

01:48:13.740 We will study for this ice shelf for signs that is reacting to the calving, which is what

01:48:18.580 Pat was talking about, the ice getting so big that it actually breaks off.

01:48:22.180 But we do not expect anything much to happen for years.

01:48:25.160 Then he goes on to say, the team of researchers has not found, quote, any link to human-induced

01:48:31.880 climate change.

01:48:32.720 Luckman added, quote, we have no evidence to link this directly to climate change and

01:48:37.900 no reason to believe that it would not have happened without the extra warming that human

01:48:43.180 activity has caused.

01:48:44.740 Oh my God.

01:48:45.180 It is legit.

01:48:45.720 They go out of their way multiple times to say that this is no relation to global warming.

01:48:51.040 They have no connection to it.

01:48:52.400 It's normal.

01:48:53.360 It happens all the time.

01:48:54.660 I've seen.

01:48:55.220 Everyone is sharing it in the way of that.

01:48:56.800 This is proof of global warming.

01:48:57.440 Yeah, no, I'm seeing it everywhere.

01:48:59.160 That's because I'm seeing it everywhere.

01:49:00.120 And the ones that are all for it are human activity most likely isn't responsible.

01:49:06.180 Most likely isn't responsible.

01:49:08.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:49:08.980 They go a lot farther than the actual researchers go a lot further than that.

01:49:12.020 May I share something that is probably more of a concern than the calving?

01:49:15.580 I mean, why we care about little cows on the ice shelf?

01:49:18.720 Well, what if the Titanic runs into it again?

01:49:20.880 Well, you're right.

01:49:21.940 You'll be concerned then, won't you?

01:49:23.360 You're right.

01:49:23.700 Well, but they can climb onto the ice shelf and eat the little cow. 1.00

01:49:26.920 After they sink.

01:49:27.480 Yeah, that's true.

01:49:28.020 And so they'll be fine.

01:49:29.280 If they can start a fire, they'll be okay.

01:49:31.440 Now, here's something that's probably a little more likely to happen.

01:49:36.160 I hope this doesn't happen.

01:49:37.880 On CNBC, the Power Lunch, yesterday they had Mark Yusko.

01:49:45.840 He is Morgan Creek Capital.

01:49:48.680 He has been predicting bad things for the economy since January.

01:49:52.320 He said, I think it was on Monday, actually, that quantitative easing and so much stimulus has made a huge bubble in the U.S. stock market.

01:50:01.280 The stock market is way overinflated.

01:50:03.260 He said, I believe that we're flowing toward the path of 1928 when Hoover was president.

01:50:13.120 2829.

01:50:13.600 He said, we had a president with no experience, who came in with a Congress that was all Republican, who had a lot of big promises.

01:50:22.940 And by fall, those things hadn't happened.

01:50:26.700 And people realized in the markets, this isn't working out the way we thought.

01:50:32.360 And we had the stock market crash of 29.

01:50:34.740 He believes that we are following the same economic path now this fall.

01:50:42.000 I hope that's wrong.

01:50:43.920 But boy, there is so much building up that you could see our economy calve and float away.

01:50:53.300 I want you to call Goldline.

01:50:54.860 1-866-465-3546.

01:50:58.120 1-866-GOLDLINE.

01:50:59.420 Goldline is extending its price protection program for as little as $2,500.

01:51:05.400 You're going to get three months of price protection.

01:51:07.680 If you spend $25,000, you get your IRA or your 401k, $25,000 investment.

01:51:15.040 They will protect that money for a year.

01:51:17.080 So they'll guarantee that you won't lose a dime for a full year.

01:51:21.140 They'll make it up with extra gold.

01:51:23.340 Nobody, nobody does that.

01:51:25.480 But with just the news from yesterday, whether you are supportive of the president or not,

01:51:31.820 it doesn't matter.

01:51:33.140 You do know that this isn't going away.

01:51:36.400 What will just this scandal do to the economy?

01:51:41.100 Please call Goldline now.

01:51:43.020 Read their important risk information.

01:51:44.540 Find out if gold or silver is right for you.

01:51:46.240 1-866-GOLDLINE.

01:51:47.620 That's 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:51:50.980 Glenn Beck Program.

01:51:54.120 888-727-BECK.

01:51:56.720 Mercury.

01:52:00.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:52:03.920 It's funny.

01:52:04.380 The guy who plays Caesar in the new Planet of the Apes is the guy who played Gollum in Lord of the Rings.

01:52:14.280 Here he is reading a Donald Trump tweet as Gollum.

01:52:18.700 The fake news media has never been so wrong or so dirty, purposely, incorrect stories and phony sources to meet their agenda of hate.

01:52:41.800 Sad.

01:52:45.700 That's a good read.

01:52:47.460 That's pretty good.

01:52:48.880 By the way, you saw Planet of the Apes, did you not, Jeffy?

01:52:51.600 Yeah, we went to a special screening last night.

01:52:54.520 Last night, night before last.

01:52:56.100 Yeah.

01:52:56.480 Were you invited to that, Stu?

01:52:57.840 I was not.

01:52:58.460 No, I liked the series, though, quite a bit.

01:53:00.360 Yeah, big fan.
