I got up this morning and I was sent a piece of audio from a friend of The Forgotten Man.
00:00:24.380
You remember Amity Schlaes and she wrote a book called The Forgotten Man
00:00:31.560
And The Forgotten Man is the guy in the middle.
00:00:36.820
The government is talking about the poor and they want to help the poor.
00:00:45.180
And so the government is Person A, the poor is Person C.
00:00:53.480
And Person A, the government, says we have to help Person C.
00:00:57.500
So we're going to take money from Person B and give it to Person C.
00:01:07.260
The Forgotten Man, Person B, they are crushed by this weight.
00:01:17.240
The government said we want to help people who don't have money.
00:01:22.640
And they promised Person B, you're going to get $2,500 back.
00:01:29.400
Because Person B was like, wait, I like my doctor, I like my health care,
00:01:38.140
You'll keep your doctor, you'll keep your health church,
00:01:40.560
and you're going to get $2,400, $2,500 back every year.
00:01:56.900
You need to hear the audio that I heard this morning.
00:02:41.280
I also sent it to a few friends in the media on the left
00:02:50.460
This is why we're having problems in the country.
00:03:00.320
This audio is from WMAL, a radio station in Washington, D.C.
00:03:11.200
I'm sick of the Donald Trump stuff, all the Trump stuff.
00:03:14.540
I consider myself one of the forgotten men and women.
00:03:36.260
I mean, I'm cutting back on my medicine, my groceries.
00:03:42.640
do you feel like the president is keeping his head down
00:03:45.900
and doing what he promised to do to try to help you
00:04:03.560
I need a couple extra dollars of my paycheck every week.
00:06:14.120
and they were struggling under George W. Bush as well.
00:51:17.800
this is the glenn beck program 888-727-billoreilly.com
00:53:06.620
democratic party is trying to paralyze the trump
00:53:12.560
okay well but but they can't but they can't do that with the republicans
00:53:17.180
having both houses they have the senate and the house so they can pass things
00:53:22.800
they can they can in a certain way um because they are basically for example
00:53:29.140
case law slam dunk right well you need 60 votes in the senate to get case law passed and
00:53:34.520
and probably you're not going to get them because the democratic party has gone so radical left
00:53:39.460
and this this is how frustrating it is but on the two big issues of health care which is hurting
00:53:44.980
working americans because the high deductibles they have to pay and the premiums going up
00:53:51.140
and the tax cuts on those two you basically have a republican party that just can't get it
00:53:57.800
together you know i was watching ran paul again today on television he's not going to vote for
00:54:03.240
uh the new health care bill and he's not going to he is not going to compromise he is he's going
00:54:10.380
to vote against it and that means obamacare may then survive and that means republican party will
00:54:17.380
get hammered in the next election but ran paul doesn't seem to care all right so you have you
00:54:24.080
know it's a little it's a little harsh that's a little harsh he really does care he doesn't
00:54:28.480
he cares about a good bill which this is not yeah well not this is better than it was they did go for
00:54:34.540
the cruise marginally better marginally they went for the marginally better but no tax breaks now
00:54:39.800
policy out of it take the policy out of it you can you can hire you can try very hard if you ran paul
00:54:46.580
to get what you want in the bill but in the end if it comes down to voting against it and and having
00:54:52.800
obamacare then survive for another year you vote for it it's mind-boggling to me though bill that
00:54:58.560
that it's ran paul and ted cruz and mike lee and the guys who are really trying to toe the line on
00:55:05.800
conservatism they're the ones who are getting the beating rather than the boneheads who who who think
00:55:13.560
that obamacare light is what the american people want that's not what we want it's not what they
00:55:19.440
want it's not what the trump voters want they need relief and these bills ryan paul will turn out to be
00:55:25.920
right because this bill will make the average payment um that has already gone up 140 percent
00:55:34.240
it will make the average person's health premium go up even further faster not if it includes
00:55:41.640
cruises um that is that is that is the hope and that is why the one thing in there that i think
00:55:49.380
is possible and it will it will they'll put it in that all insurance companies can compete
00:55:55.520
nationwide if you have that that will drive the premiums down but i'll tell you what even if that's
00:56:01.540
in there i don't think rand paul's gonna vote for that bill and i don't think susan collins will
00:56:05.220
vote for it and the guy in nevada he won't vote for it because they're voting their own self-interest
00:56:10.120
they're not voting for what's good for the country you're never going to get like reagan said you know
00:56:15.060
if you get 70 of what you want you vote for it all right and and then we get from within but look
00:56:22.140
that that's policy you're you're the i was really affected by hearing that guy uh in maryland
00:56:27.920
talking on wmal i mean this guy he needs help and he doesn't want the corrupt media which and they
00:56:35.780
don't couldn't care less about him and they think that he's he's an idiot okay but the corrupt media
00:56:42.740
is never going to stop trying to get trump impeached never and all americans should know that so yes the
00:56:51.800
the route that that people listening to the beck program today should take is call their senators and
00:56:57.260
congresspeople and say you've got to give us tax relief and you've got to give us health care
00:57:02.260
relief yeah there is the amendment movement has has to happen the mcconnell plan does include ted cruz
00:57:09.320
and mike lee's backed a version uh version uh yeah well let's talk to ted and and mike mike is saying
00:57:17.640
he's undecided on this bill and he's they're saying his plan in it we will vote for it and it does seem
00:57:23.420
like they were three it's collins it's collins it's paul and the guy in the bat okay back in just a
00:57:29.560
second with more from bill o'reilly at billoreilly.com.com billoreilly.com.com uh dot com he'll be
00:57:39.420
all right let me take to uh let me take bill o'reilly to over uh to england and talk a little
00:57:59.840
bit about charlie guard yesterday charlie's parents went to the high court um and the judge over in
00:58:07.640
england said all right charlie the 11 month old child that has been has been uh doomed to death
00:58:16.460
now by a court uh in london said all right there is a u.s doctor that is offering treatment
00:58:24.340
and we'll fly him to london on monday he can examine charlie guard and then we'll listen to him
00:58:31.060
if we think he's got something to say then we'll talk about treatment for charlie but monday if we
00:58:38.880
don't agree with his assessment uh we're pulling the plug on this 11 month old your reaction to that
00:58:46.080
bill o'reilly well first of all thanks for covering the story nobody else is covering it it's amazing um
00:58:52.880
second i don't understand why the british government just doesn't hand the child over to the vatican and
00:58:59.140
let the vatican doctors and uh the pro-life movement and and couldn't they bill couldn't they do that
00:59:06.780
couldn't they do that if if they take their british passports um and instead use the vatican passports
00:59:15.980
what the vatican said that they would give charlie and his parents vatican passports
00:59:19.880
they would they might even have to deny their citizenship but i have to tell you if i lived in a country
00:59:24.580
that was doing this to my son i would deny my citizenship but there isn't any legal precedent
00:59:29.680
for denying anybody's citizenship the vatican has made a humanitarian offer keyword humanitarian
00:59:35.520
all right the british government can cooperate with a state the vatican's a country all right
00:59:42.380
and charlie's parents have signed off on it so what's the problem you know the british government
00:59:49.220
does not have um the power to limit travel they can't tell charlie's parents you can't fly to rome
00:59:58.560
they can they can actually they can they can stop the parents from taking us charlie is not just scoop
01:00:05.480
him up and take him out he has to have the breathing machine and everything else so he has to be moved
01:00:10.860
yeah and so as long as you're tethered to the british health care system financed by the government
01:00:17.260
right this is why americans don't want that well not not only there are logistics but i'll submit to
01:00:22.840
you that this could be done you know with private help on a private jet with private doctors oh yeah
01:00:30.780
oh yeah everything but they won't let him leave they won't let him leave the hospital and that's the
01:00:35.180
issue listen to this argument from the attorney in a submission to the high court the hospital's
01:00:39.520
attorney wrote that while the institution understands that the parents believe they alone have the right to
01:00:45.100
decide the treatment for their son the hospital holds different principles like i mean that's how
01:00:52.160
insane it is it's incredible that's why you don't want the government basically telling you what you
01:00:58.680
can and can't have you know but here here's something that nobody's mentioned in great britain you you can
01:01:04.360
reject their health care system and go private you can do that a friend of mine just runs a private
01:01:10.740
practice over there the problem is these people don't have any money well they do now that they do
01:01:17.340
now that is true but what happened is they didn't have it they got him into the hospital and now the
01:01:24.200
hospital says no he's ours that they've raised you know at last i heard was 1.7 it's got to be way over
01:01:30.640
that now but this world we're looking at right now with the way that we're looking at life is changing
01:01:35.320
so fast listen to this the hospital says a world where all a world where only parents speak and
01:01:41.840
decide for children and where children have no separate rights or identity and no court to hear
01:01:46.880
and protect them is far from the world in which this hospital treats its child's parents that's their
01:01:52.220
quote that's their quote what they're saying is that uh because of charlie's catastrophic medical
01:01:59.400
condition the odds are that he will not recover so charlie they're they're thinking for charlie
01:02:05.020
they're saying okay he's a minor so we're gonna say if charlie were 20 and he had an opinion he would
01:02:12.840
say pull a plug that's what they're doing that's terrifying but here's here's what's here's what's
01:02:17.580
here's what's amazing bill um i just talked to uh bobby schindler who i think you know terry schivo's
01:02:23.540
uh brother and he just got back from uh england where he was with the parents and everything else
01:02:29.840
and he said uh that he's never seen anything uh like this he said it's not the news media that we
01:02:40.340
have he said in london the news media is all for charlie he said all of the news reporting over there
01:02:47.300
is pro charlie and the government is rejecting the parents the baby the people and the news media
01:02:54.860
that's pretty remarkable it is and i'm surprised to hear that because the british press is so left
01:03:01.400
wing right it has to do with euthanasia it has to do with abortion on demand for any reason
01:03:06.160
you know what the subtext of this is it's not just about charlie and his medical condition if it
01:03:11.580
were it would have been taken care of a long time ago the vatican would have them and the vatican
01:03:15.660
would provide the medical care and charlie would live or die based upon what happens to him
01:03:20.180
but it's not it's about power it's about euthanasia and it's about abortion on demand
01:03:26.800
and the far left progressive left does not want those things uh questioned they don't even want
01:03:33.320
to debate on them anymore and so that's what the real story is underneath this because it doesn't
01:03:39.140
make any sense you know if i'm the prime minister of uh of the uk i said look you know thank you
01:03:45.240
uh pope francis for the offer and we're gonna have we're gonna make that happen because the
01:03:49.860
parents want it and the british government is going to you know do what we can to um to put the
01:03:55.980
boy in your hands and we're going to all pray can't use the word pray because that's politically
01:04:00.220
incorrect that that some miracle occurs and he gets he gets his health back you know that's the way to
01:04:06.220
solve it but then then you know the the progressive oh no you know you can't do that euthanasia is
01:04:13.100

01:12:23.480
there's a lot of stuff that we have uh talked about today uh and um if you listen back to the
01:12:31.080
first hour i i really want you to listen to the first hour today go back to the podcast
01:12:35.280
um at glenbeck.com or the blaze and listen to the first hour today it's really um critical
01:12:41.220
uh that you do um there are things that are happening in the country that that we need to
01:12:47.560
know about and we were talking about alan this this guy who called in and it kind of turned to the
01:12:54.220
stock market and the stock market is booming right now but there are all kinds of signs it's not real
01:13:00.880
it's not real there are warnings that are starting to come out and the elites are trying to push it
01:13:09.080
down i want you to to uh please call gold line now if you have money in savings in in um like a 401k
01:13:18.520
or an ira i want you to call gold line and see if you can move some of that money into gold right
01:13:25.140
now for as little as a 2500 investment in gold you will get three months of price protection which
01:13:30.980
means if the price of gold goes down in the next three months they'll make it up so you haven't lost
01:13:36.160
any money you put 25 000 in you'll get up to a year of the price protection nobody else does this and
01:13:44.960
certainly nobody does this with your retirement funds please protect some of your money do it now
01:13:52.320
nobody else offers this it's remarkable that gold line does call gold line ask them about their risk
01:13:58.740

and you need to hear this phone call and and and let it haunt you for the day um it was a real
01:16:40.440
wake-up call and i actually sent it to some of my media friends who are on the other side who
01:16:47.720

01:17:18.540
because we are one the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn beck program
01:17:29.040
good friend of the program riaz patal is uh with us riaz is a uh is a guy who shouldn't agree with
01:17:39.160
anything that uh we say on paper we should not be friends but agreed we are friends because we're both
01:17:47.240
human beings uh and we also can see what's happening uh to our country and so while we don't agree on
01:17:55.260
some things many of those things are not so important especially right now uh riaz was one of the guys
01:18:03.280
that i i sent this audio to and i want you to hear the audio uh from wmal yesterday alan in southern
01:18:11.640
maryland you're on wmal go out i'm sick of the donald trump stuff all the trump stuff i'm one of
01:18:18.120
i consider myself one of the forgotten men and women i'm worried about job creation i'm worried
01:18:23.340
about tax cuts i need more money i'm living paycheck to paycheck they just cut off my cable bill
01:18:27.400
i'm rubbing two nickels together my girl can't find a job to help me we're out here struggling
01:18:32.560
and these people don't get it i mean they really don't get it i don't have money i mean i'm cutting
01:18:39.820
back on my medicine my groceries she can't find a job do you feel like the president alan do you
01:18:46.080
think do you feel like the president is is keeping his head down and doing what he promised to do to
01:18:50.580
try to help you and other americans like you do you think he's if they let him do it and give him a
01:18:55.420
chance yeah they're fighting them every step of the way we need help out here we've been struggling
01:18:59.620
for years under obama and he's he had the right message that's we we murdered him in because of that
01:19:04.800
and we we need tax cuts i need a couple extra dollars of my paycheck every week
01:19:08.940
we need jobs thanks alan we need trump and these these liberal depressed and all this they need
01:19:15.620
to get off of that and think about us that's out here putting our boots on every day getting up at
01:19:20.420
four o'clock in the morning going to work and trying to provide for families and it's hard
01:19:25.320
i just need a couple of extra bucks in my paycheck every month um this is somebody who my guess is if
01:19:37.700
he ever listened to me um he's been mad at me for the last couple of years um you don't have to
01:19:45.020
jump on that so fast yes i'm yes i would like to i'd like to find him and talk to him you live in
01:19:54.100
that area i now do and i would like to find him yes yeah so let's see if we can find him and maybe
01:19:58.700
you go talk to him and then and bring him on the air and and um um because i think he reflects a lot
01:20:05.340
of people so what he's saying here is um is so fascinating on several levels i'd like to hear
01:20:15.620
your analysis of him riaz it feels like i mean the level of pain is just palpable i mean it's palpable
01:20:23.300
in the voice and to me this man is calling into a calling show because there's no one else i mean
01:20:29.200
he literally feels like someone please hear me right and what i what i fail to grasp is why it is
01:20:35.780
so hard to disagree with people ideologically but to say i hear you i see you and what you feel
01:20:42.900
matters to me that is all you have to do we don't have to agree on tax policy we can disagree but i see
01:20:49.300
you i hear you and what you are experiencing matters to me and no one because they're too
01:20:55.120
entrenched and here's what's happening when you look at what the gop is proposing they're not proposing
01:21:03.080
anything that is going to help him he's obviously on not on obamacare he is on um you know private
01:21:10.240
insurance he's now not able to pay for his prescription um and you know his most likely if he's like the
01:21:17.660
average american his premium has gone up a hundred and forty percent um we're not talking real job
01:21:25.460
creation unless we're talking about tax cuts um to help him have more of his money tax cuts to be able
01:21:33.400
to create jobs that's not what the gop and in many cases what donald trump is doing with his actions
01:21:41.940
it's what he said but it's not doing what he with his actions he's just at a point to where he needs
01:21:48.840
someone to do something it's been i mean he says i voted for obama so that's now eight years nine years
01:21:56.840
it's almost a decade that this man has tried with his power of vote to say please notice me please help
01:22:03.700
me you campaign on promises and then obviously eight years went by and here we are again to me the machine
01:22:10.180
of politics is now wagging the dog that all we're talking about and not so here is is the politics the
01:22:16.800
fighting the analysis of every analysis and it's grabbing this wormhole of you have people talking and
01:22:22.200
then analyzing the talking and they analyze the analysts and meanwhile nothing is changing for the
01:22:26.340
experience of the everyday person yeah it's amazing um and that's really kind of what i've grasped here
01:22:31.600
this week we talked about when the news first broke about donald trump and russia we talked on monday
01:22:38.040
about that and i think we talked some on tuesday about that but on wednesday thursday friday we really
01:22:44.100
tried to focus on the people because there's nothing new here it's just arguing to argue it's it's it's
01:22:52.760
it's what we did with bill clinton he didn't have sex yes he did he did he didn't he did he didn't
01:22:58.820
oh he did well it doesn't matter yes it does no it doesn't yes none of that connects to a person
01:23:04.180
nothing their experience and their family and their pain and their life none of that right none
01:23:09.420
of this does and to me my whole thing is how do i take my own power back emotionally how do i not
01:23:15.480
hope that the gop or the democrats or the president or the congress will fulfill my needs i mean this is
01:23:21.560
not just someone who's looking at fiscal needs this is an emotionally bankrupt person now where are
01:23:27.400
the neighbors where are the friends where is the sense of community to say look how can i help you
01:23:31.920
everyone is entrenched in a battle defending one person themselves and no one is marching together
01:23:38.140
and so the person wearing the hijab feels the same the person in the mexican feels the same the man here
01:23:43.640
feels the same no one is saying this is a great wonderful fun time to be an american so who is
01:23:49.580
benefiting from this who's continuing the engine to move the the media is benefiting from this and the
01:23:57.700
politicians on it's a frenemies relationship yes if donald trump really wanted to remove himself
01:24:02.240
from the media he would stop responding yes it's it's it's it's personal responsibility i cannot point
01:24:07.500
at anyone at a certain point for me as you know i had a son my father got sick he passed away i took
01:24:13.100
30 days off from the world by the way nothing changed nothing changed in 30 days but that's a that's
01:24:18.800
an eye-opening uh discovery for people who found my compass yeah and my compass didn't come from
01:24:25.200
listening to talking heads and my compass didn't come from watching the news my compass came from
01:24:29.080
here i am caring for my father my son my home what is it that i believe only could i do that by taking
01:24:35.140
a complete fast from media for a period of time and i work in media so it's like i'm telling people not
01:24:39.320
to watch my own work so um riaz i asked you or yeah actually you asked me you were listening you said
01:24:46.840
what are the books that you're having everybody in your company read um and which ones did you read
01:24:52.760
all four okay i mean come on you're asking i'm in type a i wasn't hugged enough as a child of course
01:24:59.960
i read all four i have no total four i read the sub notes and then i read those sources
01:25:04.080
so tell me what you you know what we're trying to do we're trying to find a way to break down the
01:25:12.720
barriers and talk to people um and be able to move forward even in a way where we disagree
01:25:20.500
but we're going to be able to solve problems because we're not just calling each other names
01:25:25.980
what did what it was your takeaway from the i mean but my my my whole takeaway is the way you you
01:25:34.380
divide you help the divide is honestly by listening empathically i've done it in galaska i've done it in
01:25:40.640
saudi arabia i've done it with people have nothing in common with me i've just sat down and said i've
01:25:44.600
done it with you guys i sat down and i came in thinking i'm going to walk into lion's den but when i
01:25:48.880
walked in i just sat down and listened and all of the preconceptions that i brought to the table
01:25:53.560
did not exist which is why i keep showing up and it's and it's why we did it with you as well
01:25:58.980
we had every reason to suspect you and we just listened and watched you and we realized you're not
01:26:06.280
who society wants to say you are it's not so hard it's not so hard to say to go to this man and say
01:26:12.700
literally what about your life do i not know when do you think the last time someone actually asked
01:26:17.260
him that and listened didn't wait to speak to say okay that's great now let me tell listened i tell
01:26:23.860
you the one thing is there are two kinds of people people who listen and people who wait to speak
01:26:27.020
there are a huge number of the second category going on right now and almost all of them are on
01:26:32.300
television yeah i've done it you've done it too i've done interviews the secret of oprah
01:26:36.940
winfrey she actually listens she is genuinely interested yes you have to be genuinely interested
01:26:42.760
people yes and i am i'm genuinely interested in people because i can't imagine that that guy is
01:26:47.340
having a very different time than i am raising my children that different i cannot imagine that his
01:26:51.680
needs are that different than my needs so i can relate to that yeah that's one thing we were talking
01:26:55.640
about earlier this week um in our office i think we met on tuesday or monday when all this broke and
01:27:01.680
we talked about you know where does your loyalty reside does it reside in your principles does it reside in
01:27:09.200
the party does it reside in the president reside with the press reside with being right where's your
01:27:15.060
loyalty reside and we all said almost at the same time our children our children what's best for our
01:27:23.040
children because we'll take the lumps now and do the hard thing but i'll bet you that he has a hard
01:27:29.720
time seeing that his children are going to be better off than he is are they are they in this day and age
01:27:35.740
are today's millennials better off than their parents no and that's that's the reality that
01:27:39.960
people are walking into how do they walk into it with some amount of hope without all this despair
01:27:45.080
constantly seeping into every pore so does it amaze you that we're not listening to people like that
01:27:51.940
who are so at the end of the rope and yet the media do you have the stuff from occupy wall street
01:27:58.580
listen listen to this interview from i think this is overseas of occupy will wall street and we
01:28:05.320
heard in in different ways this argument my sign um it just says throw me a bone in my tuition why
01:28:13.760
uh why because i think these billionaires are getting a lot of money just out of greed um you know
01:28:21.980
they're exploiting people the underclass like lower class people middle class people how do they do
01:28:27.620
that how do they do that just through um well i guess it has to do with the government as well
01:28:32.960
for example we get taxed more than they do that's not true that's not true you know the country the
01:28:39.040
highest corporate tax rate in the world okay but that doesn't mean the united states 35 in comparison
01:28:44.620
to other countries but i'm talking specifically 35 that's pretty high and also one percent of the
01:28:52.400
well just reading like statistics from what i've seen like for every dollar that
01:28:59.960
where tax corporations are taxed like 25 cents and that that just doesn't seem fair to me
01:29:06.560
why did you read that um online okay i mean i mean let's just suppose that there was lots of money
01:29:12.480
so he's going back and forth and they're arguing and they have the luxury of arguing back and forth
01:29:17.320
because this college student said um he was i think he was a columbia student and said you know i'm i'm
01:29:25.180
getting i have these uh bills that are mounting up and i think the rich should pay for my college
01:29:31.140
and um and so we need to tax the rich this was an occupy wall street thing and the media listened to
01:29:38.200
the people and many of those were not struggling they were not this guy uh or they would have had more
01:29:46.220
impact they were wealthy people who were coming from a uh and not all of them obviously but they were
01:29:54.060
coming from a privileged uh class going to a privileged school and saying i can't afford my college
01:30:01.980
education which i understand because college is out of control the average person is freaking out how do i
01:30:09.120
pay for college but we we listened to this talk about uh uh somebody has got to pay for my college
01:30:19.520
education when nobody promised you a college education but this guy who's saying i quote i just
01:30:26.000
need and i think he means it literally i just need a couple of extra bucks a month to be able to buy my
01:30:35.140
medicine and put food on the table i mean i i i'm gonna go slightly different direction which is
01:30:40.680
i i feel like sometimes there's an instinct to invalidate some people's pain because we think
01:30:47.200
that the parameters of their life are comfortable enough that they shouldn't complain that someone
01:30:50.840
who's wealthy or privileged that he couldn't possibly have as much pain as someone who doesn't
01:30:54.620
and i would say i think the problem is that we're having now is we approach each situation looking
01:30:59.000
at someone with the labels okay you're poor black urban immigrant whatever it is and therefore
01:31:04.900
your pain has this much validity or not therefore your complaints are this valid or not and i think
01:31:09.500
depending on the news organization that that that compass will shift to me the real work here is i don't
01:31:15.500
know who you are you're glenbeck you have money do you are you happy on a daily basis you have your
01:31:20.040
own struggles you have your own demons i think to me everyone is angry right now and no one is
01:31:25.380
listening so whether he's wealthy and is worried about it by the way i also went to an ivy league
01:31:29.500
school which is incredibly expensive because my my path in life was this is how you become a
01:31:34.660
professional this is how you succeed this is how an immigrant's family works so it was hugely
01:31:38.880
important to me to get into that ivy league school to work hard every day i mean people were out
01:31:43.060
having fun at 19 i wasn't i was at the library so whatever his pain comes from i think what is wrong
01:31:48.140
is someone else needs to fix it and that is the promise everyone someone else needs to fix it i'm
01:31:52.260
saying i don't know who's going to step in right now i don't know who is going to step into this
01:31:56.480
man who's crying into a radio station he's going to have to find it from his friends his neighbors
01:32:00.860
his church his community his mosque that is what i'm trying to get people to do is to say listen to
01:32:05.480
the pain for me what i heard is he said that's not fair what i heard from the first guy is i'm putting
01:32:09.620
on my boots every day he's talking like a soldier going to war they're telling you what they feel
01:32:14.160
in their speech i am a victim i don't know how to get out of this whatever their parameters are
01:32:19.320
they can't get out how do you get out listen what is it you need what do you think this job
01:32:23.420
needs finish the question why do you think you need that career path why do you think
01:32:26.340
no one's connecting the dots it's a soundbite world he's in he's out we got it okay so let's
01:32:31.120
connect the dots when we come back i want to tell you about our sponsor this f hour it's mercury real
01:32:35.160
estate i want to tell you about bonnie and michael bonnie and michael they live in virginia they had a
01:32:40.280
house in ohio they needed to sell for a year they had a real estate agent nothing was done the agent
01:32:47.880
never called them uh when they did talk uh where it's a really tough market blah blah blah
01:32:53.140
bonnie and michael listened to this uh program they decided to make a change they went to real
01:32:57.700
estate agents itrust.com these real estate agents are different they're all hand selected by my team
01:33:04.600
stacy was the real estate agent that was selected for bonnie and michael and in no time literally
01:33:12.840
two weeks they not only had an offer but they had the a sold sign in front of their house their
01:33:19.640
house was off their hands within two weeks after a year of getting the runaround real estate agents
01:33:26.420
itrust.com going to help you find a real estate agent in your area that listens to you communicates
01:33:32.840
with you and gets the job done thousands of families have already put real estate agents i trust to the
01:33:38.460
test uh houses will sell for more money and on time real estate agents i trust.com that's real estate
01:33:52.380
triple eight seven two seven back this is the glenn beck program talking to uh riaz patal friend of ours
01:34:03.440
uh former recovering hollywood uh guy uh who is uh is working with uh working with me and trying to
01:34:12.300
go into different communities and see how we can start coming together um and we're just comparing
01:34:18.300
occupy wall street and this this guy on wmal and they're both saying in some ways similar things uh one
01:34:26.560
one is in in just just just is looking for two dollars to rub together and uh the other is uh is
01:34:34.440
looking for a bailout on his life and both of them will run towards anarchy or despotism
01:34:44.080
because if nobody listens to them and nobody responds to them they'll think that the system and
01:34:50.680
everybody above them uh if you read tribal leadership outside of their tribe uh doesn't
01:34:57.840
understand them and it will it will force them into either communism or fascism or into anarchy
01:35:05.620
yeah we we what happened to us mike there it is go ahead yeah there we go hi i'm back you cut me off
01:35:11.400
you people sorry i was just talking about comfortable i felt and you cut me off right um to me they're
01:35:16.100
saying on the emotional level on the human level they're saying very similar things i'm i'm unhappy
01:35:22.060
i'm lost and it's not fair okay it's not fair and i think everyone just wants a fair shake so what we
01:35:28.820
need to do and this is one of the things i want to send you out and uh and and start finding the ways
01:35:35.300
and finding people you know all the way down to i haven't spoken to my mom and dad unbelievable yeah
01:35:41.600
because they voted a different way one way or another um to communities that want to heal
01:35:46.920
and find a way to knit our community that first safety net is that has been destroyed and so the
01:35:55.340
government instead of last resort is first resort you won't feel as alone and isolated in need of
01:36:01.120
help if your neighbor is someone that you can rely on yeah there's a power in that and even if it's
01:36:06.040
just an emotional power if someone cannot give you money it's a real emotional power riez thank you so
01:36:10.000
much for coming by thank you looking to talk to you again um back in a minute your phone calls and
01:36:15.740
some final thoughts of the week the glenn beck program
01:36:20.660
the glenn beck program hold on just a second we have some important stuff here that we have to get
01:36:31.500
off our desk that maybe has been uh uh sitting on our desk as i'm going through my papers i'm hearing
01:36:37.640
stew and pat talking about brewskis now being no no what what was it it's the you know the internet
01:36:45.060
uh oh like norton yeah it's the antivirus security system and it was it was like the highly recommended
01:36:52.220
the most highly recommended one for years and it dawned on me about i don't know five or six or seven
01:36:58.080
years ago i i'm going with a russian company to monitor the viruses on my computer that might not
01:37:05.280
be the best way to go and so i so you got rid of it i switched about five or six years ago yeah okay
01:37:09.760
so i mean i think this is something marco rubio said no american should be using this right i mean
01:37:14.880
that's a pretty amazing statement for a senator to say no american should use a company it's pretty
01:37:19.280
amazing private life um and now but do you trust them i mean i mean certainly now i don't now i don't
01:37:25.140
i mean it makes it kind of makes sense because you kind of think that sounds like a conspiracy theory
01:37:28.440
so it's just a right so there's some they happen to be based in russia like so what well there's a
01:37:34.080
lot here now they're saying that they have seen their emails between chief executive eugene kaspersky
01:37:39.800
and senior kaspersky staff outlining a secret cyber security project apparently requested by the
01:37:45.420
russian intelligence service fsb that's crazy wow um they're saying of course it was misinterpreted
01:37:53.080
u.s but again like and this is uh you know people are talking about you know did trump ever work with
01:37:59.680
the russians that's obviously what the media is really focused on um but in the midst of that and
01:38:04.960
he did he did he did a miss universe pageant in moscow as we learned yeah so you know that he's
01:38:12.220
compromised but after that the u.s government's general services administration removed kaspersky lab
01:38:18.020
from a list of approved vendors wow i mean that's a pretty big deal wow okay so hang on just a second
01:38:24.900
let's go back to to what what was your comment just a minute ago pat it was uh about the miss universe
01:38:33.300
pageant right it's been compromised yeah that's kind of the point i know you're joking that's kind
01:38:39.100
of the point that bill o'reilly was making and i i really would like to make this clear let's say
01:38:47.260
donald trump did nothing wrong donald jr did nothing wrong okay let's just assume that what
01:38:54.760
they're saying is accurate all right here's here's this is more dangerous this is even more dangerous
01:39:03.780
we now know that they were very close to uh the billionaire family of the pop singer
01:39:13.440
yeah okay right you know they were very very close good friends yeah we also know because of
01:39:21.300
that email that that good friend over in russia had the attorney general i think they call him the
01:39:27.480
crown attorney but it was basically the attorney general so the you know one removed from putin
01:39:33.620
going to the guy who is one of putin's best friends uh and a good friend of donald trump
01:39:41.760
okay let's just say that guy that that you know billionaire is is not a kgb agent okay don't think he is i
01:39:52.220
really don't think he is he's not a kgb agent but that is like the united states going to one of the
01:40:00.140
biggest capitalists who believes in capitalism and the united states going to uh a a german at the time
01:40:09.600
and saying hey so what's so what's happening what's going on blah blah blah blah blah and gaining his
01:40:17.480
friendship to be able to get into his organization without his knowledge to be able to get information
01:40:26.260
on his business information on what's going we know that the russians always always always have
01:40:34.140
and still are doing it they try to get close to people on the inner circle of anyone who might
01:40:42.980
run for president donald trump was serious since 1988 that he's going to run for president someday
01:40:51.340
it's worth the kgb's time just because he's also very close with the clintons he was very close with
01:40:59.660
every politician because he got things done he was an important guy in the united states putin would
01:41:06.320
want to know what that guy's thinking and especially if he says i might run for president let's make sure
01:41:12.620
we have guys around him so good hey that's really great so we're just talking his friends mr you know
01:41:19.680
russian oligarch with putin i'm just here just how's that going you know donald trump oh you were
01:41:25.080
part of his mr universe there mrs universe thing how's that going that's great so you think he's
01:41:31.260
really running for president huh okay well that's great keep on going on and then when he's running
01:41:38.820
for president you know you you know you're a good friend donald trump well i gotta tell you he is so
01:41:44.760
much better than hillary clinton would you do me a favor um it just we have some information even
01:41:52.180
though we let's just take donald trump at his word even though we don't have any information we're not
01:41:57.120
going to give him anything would you just let his son know that we have some stuff because we want him
01:42:02.740
to win it we've got an ongoing effort you know to help let's say they don't an ongoing effort to help
01:42:10.340
him sure that's great yeah yeah because i mean yeah we could all get along with a guy like that
01:42:17.700
okay he reaches out has his son contact his son nefarious it's certainly not on the trump's not on
01:42:27.560
the trump's part definitely not on the trump's part but not necessarily even nefarious on the
01:42:33.740
billionaire oligarch's part right but the russian government's part yeah he's being used trump is
01:42:39.780
being used and they set a trap and the trap is guys honestly you know i heard this yesterday uh from
01:42:49.300
the left and they were like i just you know what's really stunning is how stupid all these people were
01:42:55.120
i mean could you have written a more condemning email than that to donald trump jr yeah that does
01:43:05.100
seem rather convenient doesn't it yeah it does so who's winning by having us argue about this
01:43:13.140
who's winning the russians the russians are winning the russians are winning let's take donald trump
01:43:20.500
now that doesn't mean we stop an investigation it doesn't mean that you don't say what donald trump
01:43:26.360
jr did was wrong it doesn't mean anything it just means wait a minute let the convention the the
01:43:34.100
the investigation go but we also need to know about russia unconnected to donald trump we need to know
01:43:44.020
that they are plotting and planning if glenn beck can get information from the russian government
01:43:52.140
because they posted let me say it again they posted online that they are trying to infiltrate and
01:43:59.240
disrupt our systems and services and our political process uh we should believe them the blaze
01:44:06.460
specifically if you remember the new york times report from a couple years ago they were intentionally
01:44:10.760
trying to play with the uh with the uh the discourse in this country by posting fake comments on the blaze
01:44:19.180
and other sites yes they were going and nobody wanted to believe that that when these crazy conspiracies
01:44:25.880
were being touted online by so-called americans and you we all read them and the the spelling was horrible
01:44:34.820
and the syntax was wrong and we're like boy look how dumb these people are huh or maybe they're coming
01:44:43.380
from russia the new york times put that on the front page four or five years ago that russian agents had
01:44:53.600
infiltrated websites like the blaze named by the new york times that were posing as commentators
01:45:01.440
well that was the dry run for this and if you just kind of does add up oh it does i could make i'm
01:45:11.200
telling you i could do a george soros chalkboard here and the the seven degrees of donald trump and
01:45:18.280
and and vladimir putin and again and not condemn not condemning or or accusing correct the trumps of
01:45:24.500
correct not condemn the trumps of anything you you could certainly see it's there it's there yeah
01:45:30.880
so it we gotta stop buying your cell address it's either nefarious on their side and our side it's
01:45:37.680
either nefarious on on donald trump's side and the and putin's or the trump family is just naive
01:45:46.180
and they were played by a foreign state to win and why and what's the naivety there because you have
01:45:54.040
a situation where look at what the trump family is going through with this and you might say this is
01:45:59.440
unfair this is ridiculous the media is blowing it up into something it's not the russian government
01:46:04.760
has held has been able to hold over the trump family's head for this outrage for a year a year
01:46:13.120
they could have released this and put they could have done it in october they could have done it a
01:46:17.200
week before the election they could have done it whenever they wanted so it puts the the family
01:46:22.100
in an impossible position to take a hard line on russia yep and that is why it's so dangerous these
01:46:29.040
people are smart and i will say this as well when you have a meeting and you know there's you have now
01:46:36.520
disclosed today um and it may be nothing that there was a translator and a lobbyist
01:46:43.040
and a lobbyist has ties to again the russian government um although an american citizen the
01:46:48.720
the uh the translator there's a good excuse to translator was approved by the state department
01:46:53.280
um there's a lot of stuff there why would you release this email earlier this week and not tell
01:47:00.060
us that there were additional people in the meeting why not get it all out the meeting is known about
01:47:06.240
why wouldn't you mention that there were two other people in this meeting here are their names
01:47:11.480
why not do that it's just this constant allergy to just be out there and just tell the truth and it
01:47:18.640
causes the trouble for both whichever side you are on if you believe that trump is evil you believe
01:47:25.200
they've hidden these last two because it's worse right if you are on against the media you believe the
01:47:31.600
media hid this because it's worse why why why total transparency you've already released an email
01:47:39.920
confirming the meeting occurred and confirming that it was a russian government source that you believe
01:47:46.240
you were meeting with you've that's the worst part of the story why let them drip out more stories for
01:47:52.460
the rest of the week about the additional how many people were there i just saw another story that
01:47:56.480
says there might have been an additional person there three there's already six in the meeting right
01:48:00.700
the three trump associates and then the initial one we heard the lawyer one translator and a
01:48:06.140
lobbyist a lobbyist for russia and the head of the kgb was also there yeah head of the kb
01:48:11.500
also also ivan drago was there as well we should tell you this is gonna hurt guys this is gonna hurt
01:48:19.020
this is gonna hurt jeff jeff dunham was in the room he had my osama bin laden and a stalin puppet
01:48:28.180
oh no oh no so there were seven eight nine people in that room now holy god it's over it's friday
01:48:35.460
it's time for get it out there stop selling now yeah dump it this dump it right now protesting at
01:48:40.900
the grocery store level all right now this stock market is uh booming what'd you hear who was it
01:48:47.060
that heard uh a question yeah tell me tell me that story uh they were talking about how the stock market
01:48:52.600
is booming and uh it was maria bartiroma's uh show on um uh fox business and they she had some
01:49:00.160
analyst on there some wall street analyst and she said doesn't i mean aren't all the conditions there
01:49:04.600
to show that this is an over inflated not based in reality market oh no we don't think so at all we
01:49:12.480
think just the opposite uh what and then she kind of tied it into incomes going down and interest rates
01:49:19.980
staying low and that's that's a good reason for the stock market to be way up and it's gonna continue
01:49:25.820
i what i didn't fully understand the reasoning involved it's common core math yeah it is look
01:49:36.100
here's why the stock market is so high it's really easy the fed trying to bail out the banks
01:49:42.380
they went and they made loans free to the banks you can borrow the money for free the banks they
01:49:53.260
didn't give the loans to small businesses and people who actually create jobs they gave those free loans
01:49:59.660
to corporations giant corporations have taken that and they've bought their stock back and they've
01:50:08.520
bought it on margin so the stock market goes up great they now have the money to buy back their cash
01:50:17.040
but they're all greedy let's leave that in there and so all this free money has been dumped into the
01:50:23.280
system and then it sucked a lot of money in from everybody else we're like i don't know i want to get in
01:50:28.420
on this ride everybody's got their money in when this house of cards begins to fall and it's going to
