The Glenn Beck Program - 7⧸18⧸17 - Who to call in the GOP senate TODAY (Sen. Mike Lee Joins Glenn)

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

00:00:08.440 Well, hello, America.

00:00:10.280 There is some, I think, really exciting news.

00:00:14.940 Last night, about, I don't know, 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock,

00:00:18.940 I get a note from Mike Lee who said,

00:00:22.500 I'm not going to vote for the health care bill.

00:00:26.200 And he released that information and I posted it on Facebook

00:00:34.200 and I want to read some of the Facebook posts

00:00:37.020 because people were not happy with him at all.

00:00:40.860 However, it is because of Mike Lee and others,

00:00:44.520 like Rand Paul, etc., etc.,

00:00:45.760 but Mike Lee was the final domino to fall

00:00:48.340 that made the health care bill for the Republicans collapse.

00:00:53.960 I want to read to you what people said on Facebook

00:00:58.660 before 11 p.m. last night.

00:01:02.960 Because about 11 p.m., the president tweeted,

00:01:07.840 just forget about all of it, let's just repeal Obamacare

00:01:12.340 and then we'll come back and look at it later.

00:01:15.560 Thank you, thank you, and thank you to Mike Lee.

00:01:22.460 We begin there, right now.

00:01:24.320 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice,

00:01:29.880 I will hold your hand, because we are one.

00:01:34.120 I will beat my drum, I have made my choice,

00:01:38.600 we will overcome, because we are one.

00:01:43.020 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:45.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:51.980 So, we have to thank all of those Republicans

00:01:57.280 that stood their ground, and it was really hard.

00:02:01.200 I mean, you know, we are talking about,

00:02:04.920 you know, a situation where people are in really,

00:02:09.740 they're in big trouble.

00:02:11.380 People are struggling with their health care,

00:02:15.300 they can't meet their bills.

00:02:17.780 Last night on my Facebook page,

00:02:22.280 over and over again, Michael R. wrote,

00:02:25.020 we are so screwed, I'm paying $1,560 a month

00:02:30.360 for my insurance and a $6,500 deductible

00:02:35.500 for a lesser policy than I had

00:02:37.720 before our politicians decided

00:02:39.420 they could make decisions for us,

00:02:40.860 that they have no right to make.

00:02:42.520 I am so frustrated.

00:02:44.900 Wow.

00:02:45.920 You imagine?

00:02:47.220 Wow.

00:02:49.820 Let me see if I have,

00:02:52.260 let me see if I can find a couple of others.

00:02:54.500 I mean, it was a lot of those,

00:02:56.500 over and over and over last night.

00:03:01.360 And then people wrote,

00:03:04.820 Mike Lee, you're a moron, not a Republican.

00:03:07.400 Mike Lee, you're a traitor.

00:03:13.360 The Republicans are on the hook to fix this.

00:03:16.060 They campaigned on it and they have control.

00:03:18.100 They also have the perfect smokescreen

00:03:19.520 with a Russian nonsense.

00:03:21.120 No excuses.

00:03:22.700 Mike, find a way to do it, dude.

00:03:24.780 Make it happen.

00:03:26.000 You're going to make all the Republicans look foolish.

00:03:28.720 You'll never have a better shot at fixing this mess

00:03:31.160 than right now.

00:03:32.240 Fix it.

00:03:32.800 But I will make sure personally

00:03:35.360 that everyone that votes against repealing commie care

00:03:39.100 and starting over,

00:03:41.080 the Republicans promised it last three elections.

00:03:44.480 They can't expect it to be perfect,

00:03:46.800 just better.

00:03:47.780 Little by little,

00:03:48.540 let's make progress.

00:03:50.560 What you idiots seem to forget

00:03:52.980 is that these rhinos need to get on board

00:03:56.940 or get run over by the Trump train.

00:04:00.400 Mike Lee won't win his next election.

00:04:03.380 Can we not make perfect the enemy of good?

00:04:09.860 Isn't it time?

00:04:11.860 Okay, so here's what happened.

00:04:13.880 That's what people were writing before 11 o'clock.

00:04:18.020 Then when Trump said,

00:04:20.240 let's just repeal Obamacare and start all over,

00:04:25.060 you won.

00:04:26.940 You won.

00:04:29.540 America,

00:04:30.940 those of you who want a repeal of Obamacare,

00:04:35.160 unless,

00:04:36.520 unless,

00:04:38.000 you know,

00:04:38.520 they find a way to screw this up

00:04:40.500 and snatch victory out of the jaws of,

00:04:44.360 no,

00:04:44.660 snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory,

00:04:47.880 we have a chance now.

00:04:50.740 Repeal Obamacare

00:04:52.100 and start again.

00:04:53.560 Mitch McConnell says that's what he is drafting up now,

00:04:58.580 the House version of the repeal of Obamacare.

00:05:02.700 And it's not the full repeal of Obamacare,

00:05:04.480 let's be clear about that.

00:05:05.520 It is,

00:05:06.240 it does not repeal any of the regulations,

00:05:09.160 but it does repeal all the taxes

00:05:11.200 and a lot of the other things that are in there.

00:05:14.040 The other thing is,

00:05:14.860 this bill was voted on in 2015,

00:05:16.880 and the only sitting senator to vote against it,

00:05:19.500 I believe,

00:05:19.960 was Collins on the Republican side.

00:05:21.740 Right.

00:05:21.940 So if they lose Collins,

00:05:23.240 which they can do,

00:05:24.280 they can lose two people.

00:05:26.520 They can lose one more.

00:05:28.340 But,

00:05:28.600 I mean,

00:05:29.080 I don't,

00:05:29.720 you know,

00:05:30.220 the predictions,

00:05:31.540 at least from people who are reporting on this,

00:05:33.880 is it's got no chance to go through.

00:05:36.220 The repeal?

00:05:37.040 Yes.

00:05:37.660 Because,

00:05:37.920 it's not even a full repeal.

00:05:38.960 Because,

00:05:39.220 well,

00:05:39.460 then you know who the ones are.

00:05:41.180 If,

00:05:41.660 if they voted on it before,

00:05:44.220 and they will not vote on it now,

00:05:47.120 they didn't mean it.

00:05:48.580 And so now we know who needs to go.

00:05:51.220 Mm-hmm.

00:05:52.420 Because they didn't mean it the first time.

00:05:55.220 When they knew Obama would veto it,

00:05:58.020 they voted for it to fool the American people.

00:06:01.300 Yep.

00:06:02.000 And now,

00:06:03.580 when they have a chance to actually do it.

00:06:05.420 Yes.

00:06:05.840 Now,

00:06:06.360 they're going to get hit by bad,

00:06:07.780 really bad CBO scores on this.

00:06:09.600 They're going to get hit by,

00:06:10.520 they're saying,

00:06:11.080 the last time they tried this,

00:06:12.400 they said that the premiums are going to go up by 100%.

00:06:16.900 Oh,

00:06:17.580 really?

00:06:17.620 And they said,

00:06:18.600 yeah,

00:06:18.780 they said 32 million people will be without health insurance,

00:06:21.940 and they're going to give all these really,

00:06:24.120 you know,

00:06:24.820 doomsday sort of scenarios.

00:06:26.480 Well,

00:06:26.640 how can they say that when they haven't,

00:06:28.580 they haven't done the replacement yet?

00:06:30.160 Just the repeal's not going to do that.

00:06:31.540 Exactly.

00:06:32.060 And that's why,

00:06:32.500 that's why it looks so bad.

00:06:33.480 That's not going to do any of those things.

00:06:35.120 Right.

00:06:35.440 So they're going to have to,

00:06:36.320 obviously,

00:06:36.720 they have two years under this plan,

00:06:38.700 to come up with a replacement.

00:06:40.900 Correct.

00:06:41.280 Yeah.

00:06:41.400 Now,

00:06:41.760 whether they actually do that or not,

00:06:43.140 who knows?

00:06:43.620 Yeah.

00:06:43.780 The issue,

00:06:44.240 of course,

00:06:44.620 is,

00:06:45.060 you know,

00:06:45.260 which might scare people,

00:06:46.160 is that if they lose in 2018,

00:06:49.620 then you have a problem.

00:06:50.800 Then you have a Democrat,

00:06:52.020 potentially a Democrat House and Senate.

00:06:55.040 Of course,

00:06:55.460 still a Republican president,

00:06:56.900 that could veto it,

00:06:58.200 but you might get a plan that's worse.

00:07:00.680 And that's,

00:07:00.960 that's what the establishment was arguing.

00:07:02.320 And you probably have a president,

00:07:03.280 who won't veto more.

00:07:05.360 If it,

00:07:06.160 if it does indeed make things worse,

00:07:08.580 by the way,

00:07:09.380 this last one would have made things much,

00:07:11.580 much worse.

00:07:12.420 What they were talking about,

00:07:14.700 increased taxes.

00:07:17.520 The,

00:07:18.000 they gutted,

00:07:18.840 this is why Lee bailed on this,

00:07:20.300 and he's going to be with us next hour,

00:07:21.840 and he'll talk about all of this.

00:07:23.660 It gutted the Cruz Lee amendment,

00:07:27.880 which was basically free up the free market.

00:07:32.200 Let the free market work.

00:07:34.660 You can have all the other crap,

00:07:36.800 but if you can just free up the free market,

00:07:39.820 then there's a chance of lowering people's deductibles,

00:07:44.620 and getting them into some sort of healthcare plan,

00:07:47.960 that they can afford.

00:07:49.560 And that's what people want.

00:07:51.740 Quite honestly,

00:07:52.500 I really,

00:07:54.160 this,

00:07:54.720 this bogus argument,

00:07:56.720 that people are going to be dying on the streets.

00:07:59.120 Americans will not allow that to happen.

00:08:02.100 It's never happened before.

00:08:04.040 It won't happen.

00:08:06.200 We won't allow that to happen.

00:08:08.900 If you need medical care,

00:08:11.280 you will get medical care through Medicare,

00:08:15.200 Medicaid.

00:08:16.320 We have those.

00:08:17.540 They can expand those if we have to,

00:08:20.340 but nobody is going to die in the streets.

00:08:24.080 We want to cover those people who just cannot seem to get medical care.

00:08:31.940 If you have pre-existing conditions,

00:08:35.520 I mean,

00:08:35.960 you know,

00:08:36.180 you're covered,

00:08:37.140 you know,

00:08:37.680 when you lose your job,

00:08:39.060 you're covered by something called COBRA,

00:08:41.140 and it's not great,

00:08:42.660 but it's at least the stopgap,

00:08:45.240 so you have some medical care.

00:08:47.960 And it's not great because it's outrageously expensive.

00:08:50.460 Right.

00:08:50.660 But we can find some ways to help subsidize and get the people who actually need it because they have a pre-existing condition.

00:09:02.060 The amazing thing that what they did to this Lee Cruz thing was they said it it was it didn't.

00:09:12.660 It covered the way they wrote it was some crazy thing like it will cover pre-existing conditions.

00:09:22.500 However,

00:09:23.400 the insurance companies have a right to cancel people who have had serious health problems.

00:09:29.980 Well,

00:09:31.280 if it's a pre-existing condition,

00:09:34.400 isn't it?

00:09:34.860 I mean,

00:09:35.160 that would if I have serious health problems,

00:09:37.640 I can't get health coverage.

00:09:39.960 That's what I need.

00:09:41.400 That's where I need help.

00:09:43.300 Well,

00:09:43.560 and you know,

00:09:44.100 the complicated thing here,

00:09:45.540 of course,

00:09:45.860 is when you're insuring people who have pre-existing conditions,

00:09:49.780 what you do not have is insurance.

00:09:51.840 Yes.

00:09:52.100 What you have is guaranteed expense.

00:09:53.280 What you have is Medicare.

00:09:55.640 Yeah.

00:09:56.320 That's what you have.

00:09:57.180 Yeah.

00:09:57.340 It's just you're just covering everybody,

00:09:58.440 which is a totally different argument.

00:09:59.780 It has nothing to do with health insurance.

00:10:01.220 And we can take care of people on Medicare.

00:10:04.120 We can cover you.

00:10:05.960 But for people who are saying Medicare for all,

00:10:08.760 I don't want Medicare.

00:10:09.760 Medicare is not good,

00:10:12.240 but it is better than not having any insurance.

00:10:16.700 But that's not what the average person wants,

00:10:19.720 needs,

00:10:20.120 or deserves.

00:10:21.320 But somebody who is absolutely uninsurable,

00:10:25.160 yes,

00:10:25.800 we're going to give you Medicare.

00:10:27.820 So you can get treatment.

00:10:30.280 And again,

00:10:30.840 this is a,

00:10:31.520 you know,

00:10:32.160 bigger,

00:10:32.580 this is not what they're talking about here,

00:10:34.580 even with the repeal of Obamacare,

00:10:36.000 is not a solution.

00:10:37.420 No,

00:10:37.620 it is a stopgap to get rid of some of the really bad things that are in Obamacare.

00:10:42.200 And I'd take it.

00:10:43.280 But the bottom line is these are not long-term solutions.

00:10:46.280 Medicare is a terrible idea.

00:10:48.700 The idea that you cover every single person over a particular age is a terrible way to build a health care program.

00:10:56.200 Medicaid is at least more rational.

00:10:58.120 People who can't afford it get help.

00:10:59.880 The idea that Bill Gates at 78 will get money for Medicare is absurd.

00:11:05.500 It's completely ridiculous.

00:11:06.900 Why the hell is the government involved in that?

00:11:09.200 But we all have this idea that universal programs are good programs.

00:11:14.580 They're not.

00:11:15.400 They should be there as a last-ditch stopgap for people in real need.

00:11:20.160 This is the real problem in our country,

00:11:22.960 is that we are looking to the government as the first resort instead of the last resort.

00:11:29.760 Government should always be the very last resort.

00:11:34.500 Because, quite honestly, look at what the government does.

00:11:37.460 With an exception of the military,

00:11:39.820 look at what the government does.

00:11:41.500 The government is always,

00:11:44.560 and the bigger it gets,

00:11:46.480 your local is probably better than your state,

00:11:49.900 and your state is definitely better than dealing with the federal government.

00:11:54.540 The bigger it gets, the worse it gets.

00:11:57.640 Because the more it doesn't care,

00:12:00.100 and the more it is disconnected from you.

00:12:04.320 And so it's the last resort instead of the first resort.

00:12:07.100 If the president wants to inspire people,

00:12:13.100 which I think he can do,

00:12:16.300 he needs to get up and give a speech about,

00:12:25.200 you know, I'm really torn.

00:12:27.420 We need a Walt Disney.

00:12:29.180 Walt Disney in 1955 started Disneyland,

00:12:31.940 but in the same year he did Man in Space,

00:12:34.040 which was a movie or a television broadcast,

00:12:36.520 it was the first rerun ever to be on television.

00:12:40.140 It was a blockbuster on the Sunday night Wonderful World of Disney,

00:12:44.500 and then they reran it the next year because it was so big,

00:12:48.940 and it was called Man in Space,

00:12:50.360 and it was about how we could put a man in space,

00:12:54.760 not even on the moon.

00:12:55.740 The first one is just put a man in space.

00:12:58.060 1955, this captured the American imagination.

00:13:01.040 They were like, that's incredible.

00:13:02.420 Because of that, because Disney convinced the American people,

00:13:09.000 it allowed John F. Kennedy to say,

00:13:11.640 we can put a man on the moon and return him home safely by the end of the decade

00:13:16.900 because the Americans believed it.

00:13:19.980 So if I may give some advice to Donald Trump,

00:13:22.440 if you want to win,

00:13:24.380 here's the way to do it.

00:13:26.120 We're so beaten down.

00:13:27.800 We are looking for,

00:13:29.920 and he started kind of down this road yesterday,

00:13:32.380 and it was good.

00:13:33.500 You know, what was it?

00:13:35.260 You know, the American,

00:13:37.140 you know, dream or whatever he started this week

00:13:40.560 where he was pointing out,

00:13:41.620 let's get back to American products.

00:13:43.460 Made in America week.

00:13:44.780 Okay, so let's further that

00:13:47.780 and start highlighting the things that Silicon Valley can do

00:13:52.300 and these great entrepreneurs

00:13:54.480 and how people can reimagine healthcare.

00:13:59.960 And then let's do an X Prize.

00:14:02.760 We did SpaceX,

00:14:04.280 and look what happened.

00:14:06.240 We're not only just,

00:14:07.600 we're not only taking off,

00:14:09.320 but they are now landing those rockets

00:14:12.980 back on a platform in the middle of the ocean

00:14:16.380 so we can reuse them over and over again.

00:14:19.420 It's ingenious.

00:14:20.460 That started because the government said,

00:14:24.780 let's find a different way.

00:14:29.220 SpaceX will offer a prize.

00:14:32.780 Why can't we do Med-X?

00:14:34.980 Why can't we offer a billion dollar prize

00:14:38.340 to companies or a company

00:14:41.360 that will reimagine healthcare

00:14:44.720 to make it cheap?

00:14:47.640 You can't tell me that there aren't,

00:14:50.420 I mean, look at,

00:14:51.260 do you see what's happening with Blue Apron?

00:14:53.720 Blue Apron is,

00:14:54.800 they're trying to gobble it,

00:14:56.020 Amazon's trying to gobble it up.

00:14:57.800 Yeah.

00:14:58.320 Okay, because Amazon...

00:14:59.640 They're trying to gobble everything up.

00:15:01.340 Yeah, I know.

00:15:02.200 So, why would they do that?

00:15:04.760 Because they know everybody needs food.

00:15:08.360 They know everybody needs product.

00:15:10.500 Okay, well, everybody needs healthcare.

00:15:14.180 If it wasn't so regulated

00:15:16.120 and we offered a prize,

00:15:17.940 are you telling me

00:15:19.120 that big companies,

00:15:21.220 entrepreneurs,

00:15:21.960 wouldn't come out of the woodwork

00:15:23.100 from all over the world

00:15:24.460 and say,

00:15:25.180 here's how we can do it?

00:15:26.600 Of course they would.

00:15:28.760 Do you know how close we are to,

00:15:30.760 you know,

00:15:31.040 the Star Trek,

00:15:31.940 what was that thing

00:15:32.980 that Bones used to use

00:15:35.280 where he's like,

00:15:35.980 oh, he's got a failing liver.

00:15:39.260 Yeah, a tricorder.

00:15:40.660 You know how close we are to that?

00:15:42.480 Sad that I knew that, isn't it?

00:15:43.560 Yeah.

00:15:44.200 It's quite sad.

00:15:46.920 My family must be proud of that.

00:15:49.520 We're really close to that.

00:15:51.600 Why?

00:15:52.000 Because somebody offered

00:15:53.460 a Med-X style prize

00:15:55.700 to see if anyone could come up with that.

00:15:58.680 And we're close.

00:16:02.300 This is the kind of stuff

00:16:03.640 the president should be talking about.

00:16:05.340 The president should make us believe

00:16:08.340 in ourselves again

00:16:10.160 and show that

00:16:12.160 it's the people of America

00:16:14.420 that will figure this out

00:16:16.760 and find a way out

00:16:18.380 and not the government.

00:16:22.480 If I could give the president

00:16:24.320 any advice

00:16:25.420 that he won't listen to,

00:16:27.220 it would be that.

00:16:29.200 Please, Mr. President,

00:16:30.980 believe in the American people

00:16:32.480 more than people believe

00:16:34.120 in the government.

00:16:34.840 Now this.

00:16:37.160 South Korea's new government

00:16:38.360 has proposed military talks

00:16:40.220 with North Korea.

00:16:42.060 This was the first formal overture

00:16:44.000 by South Korea's new president.

00:16:46.420 No immediate response

00:16:47.480 from the North

00:16:48.060 to the proposed talks,

00:16:49.280 but the two sides

00:16:50.100 technically remain at war.

00:16:52.540 And we don't know

00:16:54.060 what's going to happen

00:16:54.880 in North Korea,

00:16:56.260 but we do need to prepare

00:16:58.260 for catastrophic breakdown.

00:17:00.400 This week,

00:17:02.000 get a Glenn Beck special.

00:17:03.660 That's 1,000 servings

00:17:09.120 Now that's less than

00:17:09.920 a dollar per serving.

00:17:10.980 That includes

00:17:11.800 the breakfast,

00:17:12.640 lunch,

00:18:10.520 You're like,

00:18:10.920 I could lose my job,

00:18:12.460 we could go through

00:18:27.280 preparewithglenn.com.

00:18:31.240 You're listening to

00:18:32.320 the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:35.460 Mercury.

00:18:36.060 Mike Lee is going to be joining us here

00:18:47.720 in just a second,

00:18:49.960 which I can't wait to hear

00:18:53.380 what the plan is from here.

00:18:56.520 He wrote last night,

00:18:57.860 after conferring

00:18:58.680 with trusted experts

00:18:59.720 regarding the latest version

00:19:01.000 of the Consumer Freedom Amendment,

00:19:03.460 I have decided

00:19:04.060 I cannot support

00:19:05.340 the current version

00:19:06.420 of the Better Care

00:19:07.460 Reconciliation Act.

00:19:09.300 In addition to not repealing

00:19:10.820 all of the Obamacare taxes,

00:19:12.980 it does not go far enough

00:19:14.260 in lowering premiums

00:19:15.960 for middle-class families,

00:19:17.440 nor does it create

00:19:18.620 enough free space

00:19:19.640 from the most costly

00:19:21.100 Obamacare regulations.

00:19:22.260 This is the biggest thing,

00:19:24.640 and I talked about it yesterday

00:19:25.740 on the Think Tank.

00:19:28.440 When we went through

00:19:29.880 all of the revisions,

00:19:33.280 it was doing nothing

00:19:34.800 to reduce premiums.

00:19:36.920 And that's the biggest problem.

00:19:40.140 I mean, look,

00:19:41.200 if Obamacare really had

00:19:42.880 lowered the premiums

00:19:44.100 for everybody

00:19:44.680 and saved everybody

00:19:45.780 $2,500 a year,

00:19:48.280 do you think we would be

00:19:49.780 talking about this?

00:19:51.400 Nobody would be for

00:19:52.640 redoing Obamacare.

00:19:55.020 Well, I mean,

00:19:55.560 not nobody.

00:19:56.380 Except for the purest.

00:19:58.880 You would have a very hard time

00:20:00.740 making a case.

00:20:02.220 I would be still making the case

00:20:03.740 about the Constitution,

00:20:05.140 but it would be working

00:20:06.900 in lowering the costs

00:20:08.640 and insuring people.

00:20:10.500 It would be very hard.

00:20:11.780 It would be just

00:20:12.460 a purist's argument.

00:20:14.660 That's not the case.

00:20:16.340 We must reduce the premiums.

00:20:18.600 If the premiums don't go down,

00:20:20.740 it's not worth changing.

00:20:21.980 Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:23.380 Mercury.

00:20:27.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:30.140 Hey, we have some really good news

00:20:31.880 on Charlie Gard today.

00:20:34.540 Charlie Gard's parents

00:20:35.980 remain optimistic

00:20:37.180 following a brain scan

00:20:38.660 that is going to determine

00:20:39.940 whether he could have

00:20:40.700 this experimental therapy.

00:20:42.740 The scan took place

00:20:44.120 at, gosh,

00:20:45.120 the Great Ormond Street Hospital

00:20:46.880 where a U.S. professor

00:20:48.940 of neurosurgery

00:20:49.900 examined the 11-month-old boy

00:20:51.740 yesterday.

00:20:53.440 While they were studying

00:20:55.700 the scan

00:20:56.460 and other medical records,

00:20:58.620 they have not yet decided

00:21:00.920 whether they feel

00:21:02.340 the boy could benefit

00:21:03.120 from the treatment.

00:21:04.780 But the doctor

00:21:05.780 from America

00:21:06.580 spent about four and a half hours

00:21:07.940 inside the hospital

00:21:08.940 on Monday.

00:21:10.140 Hospital said

00:21:10.740 there was an honorary contract

00:21:12.240 in place,

00:21:13.100 meaning that for the duration

00:21:14.280 of the visit

00:21:15.180 of the doctor,

00:21:16.780 he had the same rights

00:21:18.420 as one of the hospital-owned doctors.

00:21:21.560 He was given full access

00:21:22.720 to Charlie's medical records,

00:21:24.360 hospital and clinical facilities,

00:21:26.080 including diagnostic images.

00:21:27.880 meetings between

00:21:29.260 the American neurosurgeon

00:21:30.420 and the other medical experts

00:21:31.540 are due to continue

00:21:32.920 on Tuesday.

00:21:35.960 What happens if they...

00:21:39.540 What happens if this doctor says,

00:21:42.300 yeah, I'm not optimistic.

00:21:43.740 It's different than I thought.

00:21:44.820 I think that'd be really bad.

00:21:45.920 That'd probably end it.

00:21:46.820 Where do we stand?

00:21:49.200 I mean, I still stand for life.

00:21:50.900 Yeah.

00:21:51.300 But how do you make that case now

00:21:53.440 to a socialized hospital?

00:21:56.420 Let them go to the Vatican.

00:21:57.880 Yeah, I mean,

00:21:58.200 there's no reason

00:21:58.840 they can't go anywhere else

00:21:59.740 and get treatment.

00:22:00.500 Even if your tests show

00:22:01.860 that there's nothing going on there,

00:22:02.920 there's no risk.

00:22:03.940 The person's going to die anyway.

00:22:05.300 Why not try the treatment?

00:22:06.580 Yeah.

00:22:07.120 It's at their expense.

00:22:08.340 I can understand

00:22:08.880 the socialized hospital saying,

00:22:11.220 you know, no,

00:22:12.460 we're not going to do

00:22:13.140 these expensive tests.

00:22:14.340 However, this is A,

00:22:16.080 why you oppose socialized medicine.

00:22:17.300 Go somewhere else.

00:22:18.060 And B, you know,

00:22:19.320 let them go to somewhere else.

00:22:20.460 Again, this has really

00:22:21.680 never been about

00:22:22.400 whether there's going to be

00:22:23.300 some miracle cure

00:22:24.140 for this poor kid.

00:22:25.040 It's whether you have a right

00:22:26.480 to have a hospital tell you

00:22:28.860 you're going to die.

00:22:29.920 Do parents have the right

00:22:31.320 to be able to bring their kid

00:22:33.400 to the facility of their choice

00:22:35.220 for medical treatment?

00:22:36.320 Yeah.

00:22:37.080 Especially when the alternate

00:22:38.680 is death.

00:22:39.980 Yeah.

00:22:40.140 I mean, this is not one

00:22:40.640 of those cases where

00:22:41.880 the hospital is saying,

00:22:43.720 we need to give this kid,

00:22:44.600 you know, basic treatment

00:22:45.840 for a disease that we can cure.

00:22:47.400 And the parents are saying,

00:22:48.280 well, we'd like to try

00:22:49.500 marshmallow fluff.

00:22:50.640 We think that's going to cure it.

00:22:51.980 Like, it's not one of those cases.

00:22:52.920 This is a case of death

00:22:54.560 or the parents bring the kid

00:22:56.900 to someone who maybe

00:22:58.540 it's a one in a million shot,

00:22:59.680 but why not take it?

00:23:00.280 That's amazing.

00:23:00.500 Look at this from the flip side.

00:23:02.300 Why do we always feel justified

00:23:04.840 to come in when somebody's like,

00:23:08.300 ah, cancer, you know,

00:23:10.280 or cancer, and I'm just going

00:23:13.160 to go on the power of prayer.

00:23:14.960 And we always say,

00:23:16.400 oh my gosh, no,

00:23:17.980 you got to go give him treatment.

00:23:19.660 And the kid who had chemo

00:23:23.100 several times, remember him?

00:23:25.060 And the parents,

00:23:26.380 because he came to them

00:23:29.540 and said, I don't want

00:23:30.640 any more chemo.

00:23:32.060 I think it was a boy.

00:23:33.160 And he said,

00:23:33.920 I don't want to go like this.

00:23:35.260 I don't, I don't want to.

00:23:36.660 I'm done with it.

00:23:37.080 I'm done with it.

00:23:37.700 I don't want any more treatment.

00:23:38.780 And the parents agreed.

00:23:39.320 And then the court forced

00:23:40.640 the treatments on him.

00:23:41.780 Correct.

00:23:42.160 Remember that?

00:23:42.660 Yes.

00:23:43.160 Forced them.

00:23:43.880 Yeah.

00:23:44.320 Now, what's the difference

00:23:45.480 between that?

00:23:46.640 The kid didn't have it.

00:23:49.440 He'd gone through it

00:23:50.460 over and over and over again.

00:23:52.160 He wanted to go to Mexico

00:23:53.360 for some experimental treatment.

00:23:56.120 He didn't want to go that way.

00:23:58.820 He wanted to try something else.

00:24:00.680 We all know that

00:24:01.820 you're giving chemotherapy,

00:24:04.420 you're giving him poison.

00:24:07.140 It's poison.

00:24:08.160 With the hope that

00:24:09.720 the body dies

00:24:11.600 after the cancer dies.

00:24:15.820 you're starving

00:24:17.180 the cancer to death

00:24:18.260 by giving the body poison.

00:24:20.440 So the body is poisonous

00:24:21.940 and as the cancer eats it,

00:24:24.540 it dies first.

00:24:25.680 That's the hope

00:24:26.520 of chemotherapy.

00:24:27.980 That's crazy.

00:24:28.920 That's absolutely crazy.

00:24:29.920 But it's worked

00:24:30.460 a million times.

00:24:31.460 Yes, it has.

00:24:32.000 So it's not crazy.

00:24:33.160 Right.

00:24:33.420 But sometimes,

00:24:34.660 oh it is,

00:24:35.280 it will be looked at

00:24:36.380 as absolute barbarian

00:24:38.220 treatment in the future.

00:24:40.020 But it's the best we have.

00:24:41.060 It's the best we have

00:24:41.680 and it's been successful

00:24:42.400 many times.

00:24:42.840 It's the best we have.

00:24:43.840 But we don't allow people

00:24:46.980 to say,

00:24:48.240 I want to try another treatment.

00:24:49.480 I don't want to do that.

00:24:50.900 I don't want to,

00:24:51.520 I don't want to do that.

00:24:52.260 We won't allow them

00:24:53.660 to make that decision.

00:24:54.740 But here's a family

00:24:56.060 who says,

00:24:56.600 I want to try

00:24:57.760 an experiment.

00:24:59.480 I want to try

00:25:00.720 this medicine

00:25:02.300 on my child

00:25:03.860 and we're now

00:25:05.100 standing in the way,

00:25:05.920 I mean the government,

00:25:06.700 the people of Great Britain,

00:25:08.420 their government,

00:25:09.380 is standing in the way

00:25:10.420 saying,

00:25:10.960 no,

00:25:11.860 no treatment.

00:25:13.000 It's the exact opposite.

00:25:14.820 Yeah,

00:25:15.000 I mean this one is

00:25:15.920 60 steps past

00:25:17.380 these other,

00:25:18.060 these past cases

00:25:18.780 we've talked about.

00:25:19.380 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:19.760 Because I mean,

00:25:20.200 at least you can make

00:25:20.920 the argument

00:25:21.340 and as a person

00:25:22.720 who's generally libertarian

00:25:23.780 when it comes to government,

00:25:25.040 my idea is,

00:25:27.300 look,

00:25:28.060 there are going to be

00:25:28.740 mistakes made,

00:25:29.920 but as a society

00:25:31.340 we should err on the fact

00:25:32.680 of the side

00:25:33.820 of the parents

00:25:34.620 and what they want.

00:25:36.740 And as sad as that is,

00:25:37.800 and there are

00:25:38.640 exceptions to that,

00:25:39.620 but they are very few.

00:25:41.040 I mean,

00:25:41.260 I think even though

00:25:43.120 there will be

00:25:43.560 terrible mistakes

00:25:44.320 made because of that

00:25:45.460 policy,

00:25:46.460 I think you have to

00:25:47.140 err on that side.

00:25:48.380 That being said,

00:25:49.080 I can at least understand

00:25:50.080 the government's position.

00:25:51.560 You know,

00:25:51.760 here we have a treatment

00:25:53.500 for a disease

00:25:54.320 that works

00:25:55.480 and we can,

00:25:56.940 it might be terrible,

00:25:57.960 but at least we have a chance,

00:25:58.940 at least that is a position

00:26:00.120 of supporting life,

00:26:01.480 right or wrong.

00:26:02.940 You know,

00:26:03.420 and we might say,

00:26:04.060 hey,

00:26:04.320 you know what,

00:26:04.840 Andy Kaufman,

00:26:05.540 you're going down

00:26:05.980 to some crazy,

00:26:07.200 you know,

00:26:08.200 chicken place,

00:26:08.900 chicken place,

00:26:09.620 well,

00:26:10.060 it's not going to work.

00:26:10.920 We know it's not going to work.

00:26:12.100 We've looked into this treatment.

00:26:13.240 It's nothing.

00:26:13.800 And they're fooling you.

00:26:15.440 While again,

00:26:16.360 a person should have the right

00:26:17.520 to make that decision

00:26:18.100 for themselves.

00:26:19.420 You're talking about children.

00:26:21.220 At least it's a position

00:26:22.800 here of life.

00:26:23.760 At least it's focusing

00:26:24.760 on trying to save the person.

00:26:26.460 This is something

00:26:27.100 where they're focusing

00:26:27.780 on trying to kill the person.

00:26:29.420 There's no argument

00:26:30.580 to be made

00:26:31.120 that this kid

00:26:31.860 should sit here

00:26:32.680 and die

00:26:33.240 when there's a possible

00:26:34.140 treatment that could help,

00:26:35.140 even if it's for a week,

00:26:36.240 even if it is for a week.

00:26:37.920 Yeah.

00:26:38.160 And because

00:26:39.120 it's none of your business.

00:26:41.760 Yes.

00:26:42.260 It's none of your business.

00:26:43.760 It's only the people's business

00:26:45.640 because the hospital

00:26:46.800 thought they had to pay

00:26:47.920 because it is

00:26:49.100 socialized medicine.

00:26:50.580 But as long as

00:26:51.480 the hospital doesn't pay,

00:26:53.180 it truly is

00:26:54.260 nobody else's business.

00:26:56.260 None.

00:26:56.960 Because if they want

00:26:57.720 to spend $2 million

00:26:58.680 and prolong the child's life

00:27:01.360 for a month,

00:27:03.160 they have a right to do that.

00:27:04.360 An hour, anything.

00:27:05.980 I mean, we've seen,

00:27:06.840 how many times have,

00:27:07.780 we've seen,

00:27:08.840 how many stories

00:27:09.640 of people who are

00:27:10.420 in their dying breaths

00:27:11.580 that change other people's lives?

00:27:13.800 How many times

00:27:14.320 have we seen this?

00:27:15.360 You don't just extinguish life

00:27:17.060 because it makes it,

00:27:17.900 well, you know,

00:27:18.340 we don't really want to,

00:27:19.400 I can't even think

00:27:20.240 of what their argument is.

00:27:20.920 Their argument is

00:27:21.600 he's suffering.

00:27:22.220 He's suffering, however.

00:27:22.880 He's in pain.

00:27:23.560 Lots of people suffer.

00:27:25.020 Lots of people suffer.

00:27:25.860 And you know what?

00:27:26.400 If you're right

00:27:27.360 and this kid is going

00:27:28.520 to die anyway,

00:27:30.080 it's going to happen

00:27:31.000 and nature will take its course.

00:27:32.540 And don't you think

00:27:33.040 the parents have

00:27:33.720 the best intention

00:27:34.680 for their own baby?

00:27:36.500 Don't you think?

00:27:37.060 If they thought that

00:27:38.820 their child was

00:27:40.140 in intense pain right now,

00:27:41.860 I really don't think

00:27:43.180 they'd put it through it.

00:27:44.040 Do you know any parent,

00:27:45.200 do you know any parent,

00:27:47.000 I mean,

00:27:47.820 that's sane,

00:27:48.860 any parent

00:27:49.820 that can handle

00:27:50.640 their children's pain?

00:27:52.240 No.

00:27:52.440 I mean,

00:27:53.460 for my grandchildren,

00:27:55.680 my grandchildren,

00:27:56.680 I have gotten down

00:27:57.340 on my knees

00:27:57.820 and prayed,

00:27:58.340 Lord, give that to me.

00:27:59.860 Please, give that to me.

00:28:00.960 For my grandchildren.

00:28:02.560 I mean,

00:28:03.080 that's the way people are.

00:28:05.580 And there are exceptions

00:28:06.580 to these things

00:28:07.140 where you have cases

00:28:08.160 of abusive parents.

00:28:09.500 Yes.

00:28:09.820 Parents who intentionally

00:28:10.760 do want to inflict harm

00:28:12.200 on their children.

00:28:12.780 There, of course,

00:28:13.280 are those cases.

00:28:14.280 But I mean,

00:28:14.560 this is a situation

00:28:15.400 where these parents

00:28:16.240 are living and dying

00:28:17.480 by giving this kid

00:28:18.280 one chance.

00:28:19.540 And there is no

00:28:20.940 earthly reason

00:28:21.820 to not give them

00:28:22.900 that chance.

00:28:23.360 Yeah, they're not trying

00:28:23.920 to shirk their responsibilities.

00:28:25.300 They're not trying

00:28:25.720 to take the easy way out.

00:28:27.240 But it is a different.

00:28:27.820 This is really

00:28:28.120 the harder way.

00:28:29.040 Yeah, totally.

00:28:29.580 But this goes

00:28:31.100 to the British woman

00:28:32.820 that was on television

00:28:34.400 a couple of years ago

00:28:36.160 when she was,

00:28:38.800 they were having

00:28:39.320 a discussion

00:28:39.820 about things like this

00:28:40.980 in socialized medicine

00:28:41.920 being able

00:28:42.920 just to snuff out life

00:28:44.280 because your child

00:28:45.860 is in pain

00:28:46.560 and so they can

00:28:48.320 kill your child.

00:28:49.560 True, no.

00:28:50.580 And I think that

00:28:51.340 if I were a mother

00:28:52.680 of a suffering child,

00:28:54.720 I would be the first

00:28:55.820 to want,

00:28:56.500 I mean,

00:28:56.720 a deeply suffering child,

00:28:58.100 I would be the first

00:28:58.780 to want to put

00:28:59.260 a pillow over its face.

00:29:00.200 Dr. Peter Evans is from...

00:29:01.380 As I would with,

00:29:02.020 you know,

00:29:02.720 any suffering thing.

00:29:03.960 And I think the difference

00:29:04.760 is that my feeling

00:29:07.460 of horror,

00:29:09.620 suffering,

00:29:10.220 is much greater

00:29:11.660 than my feeling

00:29:13.200 of getting rid

00:29:14.800 of a couple of cells

00:29:15.620 because suffering

00:29:16.360 can go on for years.

00:29:18.280 I'm sorry,

00:29:18.980 I was just about

00:29:19.280 to introduce another guest

00:29:20.080 there,

00:29:20.280 but that was a pretty

00:29:21.420 horrifying thing

00:29:22.280 to say.

00:29:23.540 You would put

00:29:24.120 a pillow over there.

00:29:25.440 Of course I would

00:29:26.340 if it was a child

00:29:27.380 I really loved

00:29:28.260 who was in agony.

00:29:29.220 I think any good

00:29:30.780 mother would.

00:29:33.100 That's going to cause

00:29:34.040 some shock

00:29:35.440 amongst people

00:29:36.280 watching.

00:29:37.800 I don't know

00:29:38.300 any mother

00:29:38.860 who wouldn't say

00:29:40.760 that if this was,

00:29:42.780 there was nothing

00:29:43.380 else that could be done

00:29:44.500 and it was

00:29:45.520 That's just not true.

00:29:47.180 Wow.

00:29:48.600 But that's where

00:29:50.340 this is Margaret Sanger.

00:29:52.960 That's where

00:29:53.880 this all is.

00:29:56.320 By the way,

00:29:56.980 speaking of Margaret Sanger,

00:29:58.360 it was brought up

00:29:58.860 to me yesterday

00:29:59.500 that Samantha Bee

00:30:00.840 has raised

00:30:02.000 a million dollars

00:30:03.020 for Planned Parenthood.

00:30:03.940 Did you see this?

00:30:04.820 Yeah.

00:30:05.140 So she sold the,

00:30:07.600 what was it,

00:30:08.060 angry woman?

00:30:09.260 Yeah, she was involved

00:30:10.220 in that whole

00:30:10.820 one of those

00:30:11.600 t-shirt things.

00:30:13.080 Okay, so she

00:30:14.180 came up with this

00:30:15.340 t-shirt and she

00:30:16.280 raised a million dollars

00:30:17.740 for Planned Parenthood.

00:30:19.360 And I was talking

00:30:20.100 to somebody yesterday

00:30:21.060 and they were really

00:30:22.020 demoralized by it.

00:30:23.280 They were like,

00:30:23.740 look at that.

00:30:24.960 Look at that.

00:30:25.540 And I said,

00:30:26.600 may I just point out

00:30:27.880 that she has

00:30:30.300 a huge,

00:30:32.000 popular television show

00:30:33.640 on the left.

00:30:35.040 Everybody on the left

00:30:36.300 loves Samantha Bee.

00:30:38.860 Everybody,

00:30:39.660 she's a very powerful

00:30:40.960 mover and shaker

00:30:42.140 on the left.

00:30:43.300 Okay?

00:30:43.600 Very popular show.

00:30:45.900 She raised

00:30:47.000 a million dollars

00:30:48.880 with great publicity

00:30:50.500 and a television show.

00:30:52.760 being involved in it.

00:30:53.400 And Hillary Clinton

00:30:54.160 was involved.

00:30:55.240 Okay?

00:30:55.740 Huge.

00:30:57.260 May I just remind you

00:30:58.560 that we raised

00:31:00.380 with just this audience,

00:31:03.360 no other celebrity,

00:31:05.860 no other press,

00:31:07.560 nothing.

00:31:08.580 Just this audience

00:31:09.680 raised 17 million dollars

00:31:12.760 to save the lives

00:31:14.740 of people in the Middle East.

00:31:16.700 And we didn't sell

00:31:17.620 a t-shirt.

00:31:18.100 So,

00:31:20.320 let's keep things

00:31:22.620 into perspective here.

00:31:24.600 They had all the press,

00:31:26.520 all the celebrity,

00:31:27.920 they had Hillary Clinton,

00:31:29.420 all of the outrage.

00:31:31.320 Remember,

00:31:32.420 we had none of that.

00:31:34.040 There was no outrage

00:31:35.080 to what was happening

00:31:35.920 over in the Middle East

00:31:36.720 to the Christians.

00:31:37.740 Nobody seemed to care.

00:31:38.920 People were ignoring it, yeah.

00:31:39.340 They were ignoring it.

00:31:40.540 And they had the noble cause

00:31:41.780 of killing children

00:31:42.540 on their side.

00:31:44.020 So, wow,

00:31:44.500 and that's all they could

00:31:45.880 muster.

00:31:46.440 So, they had rage,

00:31:48.320 they had means,

00:31:50.620 motive,

00:31:51.420 they had absolutely everything.

00:31:53.020 Media.

00:31:53.880 And they were selling

00:31:54.760 a product.

00:31:55.840 And they made

00:31:57.120 a million dollars.

00:31:58.400 Whoop-dee-doo.

00:32:00.100 We had none of it.

00:32:02.320 And this little radio

00:32:04.040 group of people,

00:32:06.480 you,

00:32:08.480 raised 17 million.

00:32:11.280 And by the way,

00:32:12.020 you can still give

00:32:13.540 17 million.

00:32:16.040 We have changed the lives.

00:32:18.260 While they're going to use

00:32:19.540 that money to kill people,

00:32:21.200 we're using that money

00:32:22.760 to save people.

00:32:24.940 We have a pretty

00:32:25.840 aggressive goal

00:32:27.440 that we're going to be

00:32:28.240 announcing in September.

00:32:30.220 But I'd sure like you

00:32:31.260 to still be involved

00:32:32.360 and I'm not going to

00:32:33.020 sell you a t-shirt.

00:32:34.580 It's just that you want

00:32:35.500 to help set free

00:32:37.220 these slaves

00:32:38.480 that ISIS has taken.

00:32:40.180 Things are getting

00:32:40.880 much, much worse

00:32:42.060 in the Middle East.

00:32:44.320 And now,

00:32:45.340 I mean,

00:32:46.000 geez,

00:32:46.880 these poor people,

00:32:47.920 they have gone

00:32:48.920 from ISIS.

00:32:50.960 They went from

00:32:51.460 Saddam Hussein

00:32:52.400 to war

00:32:53.820 to ISIS.

00:32:56.320 Now,

00:32:57.440 to Iran.

00:32:59.760 Now Iran

00:33:00.760 has swept across

00:33:02.340 and is all the way

00:33:03.400 to Syria

00:33:04.280 on the other side.

00:33:05.420 and they are fighting

00:33:07.280 in Iraq

00:33:09.100 and they are starting

00:33:10.280 to round up people

00:33:11.740 and kill them.

00:33:13.060 We have a very short

00:33:14.400 window of opportunity

00:33:16.460 to free some people

00:33:18.580 and get them

00:33:19.380 to safety.

00:33:20.700 And we need your help

00:33:21.580 at mercuryone.org.

00:33:23.580 Just donate there.

00:33:24.760 Mercuryone.org.

00:33:26.920 Back in just a second,

00:33:27.940 let me tell you

00:33:28.280 about ZipRecruiter.

00:33:29.240 If you own a small business,

00:33:31.000 you know,

00:33:31.980 you don't have

00:33:32.900 an HR department,

00:33:33.760 you don't have somebody

00:33:34.760 who is out,

00:33:35.720 you know,

00:33:36.020 going to all the universities

00:33:37.420 and going everywhere

00:33:38.380 trying to find

00:33:39.080 the most qualified candidates.

00:33:40.980 You are busy

00:33:41.940 doing your job.

00:33:43.780 So now,

00:33:44.380 how do you hire somebody?

00:33:46.160 How do you find

00:33:46.700 the right candidate?

00:33:48.040 How do you know

00:33:48.800 that the right candidate

00:33:49.580 is even going to know

00:33:50.260 that you exist?

00:33:51.920 When it comes to finding

00:33:52.920 the most qualified candidates,

00:33:54.860 other job sites

00:33:55.940 depend on candidates

00:33:57.300 finding you.

00:33:58.500 But ZipRecruiter

00:33:59.360 is not a job site.

00:34:01.520 ZipRecruiter

00:34:02.000 is something

00:34:02.880 that uses

00:34:03.740 the job sites.

00:34:04.880 You post

00:34:05.560 on ZipRecruiter,

00:34:06.820 you hit one button

00:34:07.680 and it goes out

00:34:08.640 and it posts

00:34:09.300 on all of the job sites.

00:34:10.760 Then it does something else.

00:34:12.300 It goes out

00:34:12.920 and it searches

00:34:13.760 for candidates

00:34:15.140 that are qualified

00:34:16.120 for your job.

00:34:17.440 Then it sorts

00:34:18.340 through the ones

00:34:19.380 that are qualified,

00:34:21.020 closest to you,

00:34:22.320 and you can go

00:34:24.140 and search through those.

00:34:26.420 And then it separates

00:34:27.320 those from the people

00:34:28.100 who are actually

00:34:29.240 answering

00:34:29.780 just your specific job.

00:34:31.940 So you're looking

00:34:33.040 at qualified candidates

00:34:33.960 from all over the country.

00:34:35.960 80% of jobs

00:34:36.900 posted on ZipRecruiters

00:34:38.140 get a qualified candidate

00:34:39.280 in just 24 hours.

00:34:40.980 And there's no juggling

00:34:41.680 emails or calls

00:34:42.720 to your office.

00:34:43.620 You simply screen them,

00:34:44.980 you rate them,

00:34:45.680 and you manage them

00:34:46.640 all in one place

00:34:47.580 with ZipRecruiter's

00:34:48.740 easy-to-use dashboard.

00:35:11.380 Mercury.

00:35:15.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:35:19.200 Hello and welcome

00:35:21.160 to the program.

00:35:22.760 Just talking about

00:35:23.920 some of the celebrities

00:35:25.220 in the news.

00:35:27.440 R. Kelly has denied

00:35:28.560 running a cult

00:35:29.620 of young women

00:35:30.560 housed in a series

00:35:32.140 of rented homes.

00:35:33.720 Didn't he...

00:35:35.220 This is not the first time

00:35:36.700 this has been charged.

00:35:38.200 There were some incidents

00:35:38.880 earlier in his life.

00:35:39.600 Yeah, like a young girl,

00:35:41.080 I think.

00:35:41.560 And this is a sex cult

00:35:43.400 of some sort?

00:35:44.420 Where he's...

00:35:44.820 Female,

00:35:45.600 aspiring female musicians

00:35:47.100 living in a series

00:35:48.380 of houses

00:35:48.760 in Atlanta, Chicago

00:35:49.740 and forbidden

00:35:50.860 from using

00:35:51.500 their own mobile phones.

00:35:53.220 Two sets of parents

00:35:54.060 have gone to the police

00:35:54.760 and tried to win back

00:35:55.520 their daughters

00:35:56.040 who approached

00:35:57.020 the 50-year-old

00:35:57.820 with the aim

00:35:58.280 of furthering

00:35:58.780 their music careers

00:35:59.580 and ended up

00:36:00.200 estranged from

00:36:00.780 their families.

00:36:02.620 The police have

00:36:03.500 investigated,

00:36:04.200 but the girls insist

00:36:05.240 they are in love

00:36:05.860 with Kelly

00:36:06.300 and as they are

00:36:07.540 over age of consent,

00:36:08.560 there is nothing

00:36:08.980 law enforcement can do.

00:36:11.000 Kelly's lawyer,

00:36:11.760 Mr. Robert Kelly,

00:36:12.900 is both alarmed

00:36:13.520 and disturbed

00:36:14.160 at the recent revelations

00:36:15.400 attributed to him.

00:36:17.320 Mr. Kelly unequivocally

00:36:18.580 denies such allegations

00:36:19.600 and will work diligently

00:36:20.520 to forcibly

00:36:21.400 to pursue his accusers

00:36:23.560 to clear his name.

00:36:25.540 When he was 27,

00:36:27.020 he married a 15-year-old girl.

00:36:29.320 Yeah, that's a problem.

00:36:32.740 He's been tried

00:36:33.420 for child porn

00:36:34.540 and found not guilty

00:36:36.420 on all counts.

00:36:38.840 Is there anything?

00:36:41.100 I mean, you're just accused

00:36:42.280 of child porn

00:36:43.180 and you're found not guilty?

00:36:45.760 Does that ever go away?

00:36:47.100 I don't think so.

00:36:48.160 I don't think so either.

00:36:49.100 That's a stain

00:36:49.700 that is just never removed.

00:36:50.900 He's had a little bit

00:36:53.440 of a return,

00:36:55.540 I would say, though,

00:36:56.280 over the years.

00:36:57.160 Has he?

00:36:57.620 Yeah.

00:36:58.600 I'd say he's had some...

00:37:00.040 Celebrities have forgiven him

00:37:01.440 to some extent.

00:37:04.140 If I remember it,

00:37:05.660 the child porn thing

00:37:06.380 was more of the video

00:37:07.280 he shot.

00:37:09.040 That's more of a...

00:37:10.000 He calls the girls

00:37:11.220 his babies

00:37:12.080 and they're required

00:37:12.960 to call him daddy

00:37:14.080 and have to ask permission

00:37:15.520 to leave the house.

00:37:16.940 Oh, that's nice.

00:37:17.440 This is

00:37:18.800 the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:40.680 On Demand.

00:37:42.300 Boy, last night

00:37:46.240 Mike Lee came out

00:37:48.460 and he said

00:37:49.260 he and Senator Jerry Moran

00:37:51.360 of Kansas

00:37:51.920 were not going to vote

00:37:53.520 for the bill.

00:37:54.440 That was the death knell

00:37:56.100 to the Obamacare bill,

00:37:59.560 the replacement bill.

00:38:01.540 And I posted it on Facebook

00:38:04.200 and it got ugly quickly.

00:38:07.440 If this doesn't pass,

00:38:08.520 we're looking at single payer.

00:38:09.600 Hopefully, Mike Lee

00:38:11.740 gets voted out

00:38:12.520 next election.

00:38:13.920 There's no justifiable reason

00:38:16.040 for your no vote.

00:38:17.500 You're just putting at risk

00:38:18.720 hundreds of your

00:38:19.380 Republican colleagues

00:38:20.440 from being re-elected

00:38:21.520 and paving the way

00:38:22.360 for a Democratic majority

00:38:23.580 in the House.

00:38:24.660 If you have an objection

00:38:25.580 to the current bill,

00:38:26.420 then provide an amendment.

00:38:28.520 Okay.

00:38:30.780 He did.

00:38:33.260 But then they changed it

00:38:35.040 and he couldn't vote for it.

00:38:36.500 Now, things have changed a bit

00:38:38.880 since the president

00:38:40.280 said last night

00:38:41.840 about 11 o'clock,

00:38:43.620 we're just going to repeal

00:38:44.900 Obamacare

00:38:45.680 with a two-year buffer

00:38:47.620 so we can come up

00:38:49.240 with something

00:38:49.820 and it doesn't provide

00:38:51.080 a shock to the system.

00:38:53.100 Okay.

00:38:53.960 Good.

00:38:55.000 That's a good start.

00:38:56.920 Mike Lee is here

00:38:58.160 to explain his thinking

00:38:59.900 and why.

00:39:02.440 He said he couldn't vote no

00:39:04.980 and what it means

00:39:05.960 to you

00:39:06.660 and your pocketbook.

00:39:08.640 We go there

00:39:09.400 right now.

00:39:10.880 I will make a stand

00:39:13.320 I will raise my voice

00:39:15.620 I will hold your hand

00:39:17.840 Cause we are one

00:39:19.820 I will beat my drum

00:39:22.040 I have made my choice

00:39:24.260 We will overcome

00:39:25.980 Cause we are one

00:39:28.660 The fusion of entertainment

00:39:30.600 and enlightenment

00:39:31.800 This is

00:39:33.340 The Glenn Beck Program

00:39:36.260 One of the bravest men

00:39:39.120 in the Senate

00:39:40.920 Mike Lee

00:39:41.800 Welcome to the program

00:39:43.280 How are you Mike?

00:39:46.060 Mike, are you there?

00:39:47.720 Yes sir

00:39:48.140 Hi

00:39:48.620 Yes sir

00:39:49.020 Good to be with you

00:39:49.920 Good to be with you

00:39:50.780 Thank you so much

00:39:51.660 for your bravery

00:39:52.780 and your leadership on this

00:39:54.140 You did provide

00:39:56.280 an amendment

00:39:56.980 along with Ted Cruz

00:39:58.640 but in the end

00:39:59.640 they changed it

00:40:00.580 and what was it

00:40:01.480 that made you say

00:40:02.460 I just can't vote

00:40:03.660 for this bill?

00:40:06.140 To me

00:40:06.840 one of the tipping

00:40:07.540 points

00:40:07.920 was the moment

00:40:09.080 when the consumer

00:40:09.920 freedom amendment

00:40:11.020 this is the amendment

00:40:12.000 that would have

00:40:12.620 allowed

00:40:13.620 people on the exchange

00:40:15.600 to offer

00:40:16.300 an insurance policy

00:40:18.120 that

00:40:18.800 a consumer

00:40:19.740 would want to buy

00:40:20.480 and an insurer

00:40:21.140 would want to offer

00:40:22.340 outside of the

00:40:24.180 Obamacare

00:40:24.900 regulations

00:40:26.380 outside of this

00:40:27.160 oppressive regime

00:40:27.920 that has made

00:40:28.560 health care

00:40:29.360 more expensive

00:40:30.020 they watered that

00:40:31.200 down to say

00:40:31.840 that any company

00:40:32.700 that's going to

00:40:33.260 offer a non-Obamacare

00:40:34.620 compliant plan

00:40:35.500 would have to put

00:40:36.560 that in the same

00:40:37.780 risk pool

00:40:38.380 as the Obamacare

00:40:39.300 compliant plans

00:40:40.200 the short way

00:40:41.380 of describing

00:40:42.400 my concern

00:40:42.960 with that

00:40:43.340 is that

00:40:43.820 while that

00:40:44.680 would reduce

00:40:45.480 the cost

00:40:46.260 of health insurance

00:40:47.300 some

00:40:47.940 in that area

00:40:48.700 it wouldn't do

00:40:49.540 so nearly as much

00:40:50.620 as it would

00:40:51.280 if you just

00:40:52.360 adopted the full

00:40:53.200 consumer freedom

00:40:53.880 amendment

00:40:54.180 as we had

00:40:54.860 negotiated it

00:40:55.620 so at that point

00:40:56.500 I looked at this

00:40:57.100 plan and I said

00:40:57.660 look

00:40:57.880 this bill

00:40:59.280 as they've now

00:40:59.780 got it

00:41:00.140 it's moved

00:41:00.580 further to the

00:41:01.160 left

00:41:01.280 they have now

00:41:02.180 gotten rid of

00:41:03.120 about half

00:41:03.800 of the tax

00:41:05.400 hike repeals

00:41:06.340 from Obamacare

00:41:07.260 they've added a

00:41:08.660 bunch of other

00:41:09.080 stuff to it

00:41:09.560 that I have

00:41:09.880 questions about

00:41:10.480 including 45

00:41:11.220 billion dollars

00:41:12.240 to be spent

00:41:13.340 in some

00:41:13.840 unknown way

00:41:15.200 to deal with

00:41:15.940 opioid addiction

00:41:16.900 and now they've

00:41:17.560 watered down

00:41:18.320 this key provision

00:41:20.360 that I think

00:41:20.780 was really important

00:41:21.660 it was at that

00:41:23.280 point I realized

00:41:23.980 this thing just

00:41:24.960 keeps moving

00:41:25.500 to the left

00:41:25.960 and I'm not

00:41:26.780 going to support

00:41:27.260 it in its

00:41:27.700 current form

00:41:28.160 okay so Mike

00:41:29.060 people aren't

00:41:30.780 thinking about

00:41:31.540 left and right

00:41:32.620 the people who

00:41:33.300 are really

00:41:33.780 affected by

00:41:34.600 Obamacare

00:41:35.260 you know if

00:41:36.000 this I said

00:41:36.880 earlier if this

00:41:37.660 bill Obamacare

00:41:39.120 would have

00:41:39.740 actually done

00:41:40.820 what they said

00:41:41.560 it would do

00:41:42.040 which was

00:41:42.520 reduce

00:41:43.220 everybody's

00:41:45.320 insurance by

00:41:46.340 twenty five

00:41:46.900 hundred dollars

00:41:47.460 we wouldn't be

00:41:48.340 having this

00:41:48.840 conversation right

00:41:49.740 now but

00:41:50.720 people have

00:41:51.420 gone up

00:41:52.000 their insurance

00:41:52.760 has gone up

00:41:53.200 a hundred

00:41:53.620 and forty

00:41:54.140 percent people

00:41:54.820 have lost

00:41:55.280 doctors I

00:41:56.400 got email

00:41:57.020 last night

00:41:57.760 saying you

00:41:58.360 know I

00:41:58.720 have a

00:41:58.980 sixty five

00:41:59.820 hundred

00:42:00.120 deductible

00:42:00.980 and I

00:42:01.640 pay fifteen

00:42:02.540 hundred dollars

00:42:03.620 a month for

00:42:05.140 my insurance I

00:42:06.000 can't afford it

00:42:07.000 anymore

00:42:07.440 talk to them

00:42:09.060 yeah okay so

00:42:10.840 that's why I

00:42:12.560 have such concerns

00:42:13.320 with this bill

00:42:13.940 this bill is

00:42:15.160 really good to

00:42:15.840 the insurance

00:42:16.260 industry it

00:42:17.420 contains some

00:42:18.020 provisions that

00:42:18.600 some would

00:42:18.940 describe as

00:42:19.500 bailouts I

00:42:20.460 don't always

00:42:21.040 call them that

00:42:21.660 but some

00:42:22.280 would characterize

00:42:23.040 them that way

00:42:23.600 it contains

00:42:24.960 all kinds of

00:42:25.980 relief for this

00:42:26.820 or for that

00:42:27.440 interest the

00:42:28.600 person that

00:42:29.000 leaves out is

00:42:29.500 the forgotten

00:42:29.940 man the

00:42:31.040 forgotten woman

00:42:31.820 the middle

00:42:32.960 class American

00:42:33.680 who's struggling

00:42:34.340 to get by

00:42:35.120 who has seen

00:42:36.280 health care

00:42:36.740 premiums hike

00:42:37.740 over and over

00:42:38.540 and over again

00:42:39.080 even as

00:42:39.880 deductibles have

00:42:40.660 skyrocketed and

00:42:41.880 coverage has

00:42:43.400 become less

00:42:44.460 pervasive and

00:42:46.280 this bill doesn't

00:42:48.320 provide enough

00:42:48.920 relief to them

00:42:49.840 I want to make

00:42:50.640 sure that the

00:42:51.540 forgotten man

00:42:52.100 and the

00:42:52.360 forgotten woman

00:42:53.740 in America are

00:42:54.640 forgotten no

00:42:55.280 more and that

00:42:56.520 we get Washington

00:42:57.280 D.C. out of

00:42:58.000 their way

00:42:58.360 Senator you by

00:43:00.860 your framing of

00:43:01.880 this argument

00:43:02.380 this bill would

00:43:03.960 have relieved us

00:43:05.560 of half of the

00:43:06.640 Obamacare taxes

00:43:07.540 it would have

00:43:08.560 relieved us at

00:43:09.660 some level

00:43:10.320 lowered the

00:43:11.580 cost of insurance

00:43:12.720 and lowered

00:43:13.140 premiums not as

00:43:14.320 much as you'd

00:43:14.700 want not as much

00:43:15.300 as any of us

00:43:15.740 would want

00:43:16.080 why not just

00:43:17.200 take what you

00:43:17.840 can get and

00:43:18.880 keep fighting

00:43:19.360 first of all

00:43:21.480 once we get

00:43:23.240 onto the bill

00:43:23.900 it becomes

00:43:25.400 very very

00:43:25.920 difficult to

00:43:27.420 change it

00:43:27.860 now I'm still

00:43:28.540 convinced that

00:43:29.200 we can pass

00:43:29.840 something I'm

00:43:30.560 still convinced

00:43:31.060 that we could

00:43:31.540 pass either some

00:43:32.920 variation of this

00:43:33.800 bill with some

00:43:35.100 changes made to a

00:43:36.040 changes that I

00:43:36.600 believe would be

00:43:37.120 relatively easy to

00:43:38.680 make or

00:43:39.460 alternatively that

00:43:40.480 we could get on to

00:43:41.340 a full repeal and

00:43:43.100 just pass that

00:43:44.140 it's important that

00:43:45.360 we actually do

00:43:46.160 those things

00:43:46.640 because the

00:43:47.160 further we

00:43:47.760 diverge the

00:43:48.440 further we

00:43:48.860 depart from

00:43:50.220 what we've

00:43:50.800 been promising

00:43:51.400 for seven

00:43:52.260 years what

00:43:52.700 every Republican

00:43:54.240 who has

00:43:54.560 campaigned for

00:43:55.080 any federal

00:43:55.540 office since

00:43:56.680 2010 whether

00:43:57.960 for the House

00:43:58.620 or for the

00:43:59.200 Senate or for

00:44:00.360 the presidency

00:44:00.880 they've all

00:44:01.700 campaigned on

00:44:02.600 one consistent

00:44:03.200 theme repeal

00:44:04.480 Obamacare we've

00:44:05.400 got to make

00:44:05.720 sure that we're

00:44:06.180 faithful to that

00:44:06.980 promise

00:44:07.380 okay so Mike

00:44:08.540 the skeptics

00:44:10.020 now say that

00:44:10.880 we can't repeal

00:44:12.900 Obamacare

00:44:13.680 President Trump

00:44:15.480 last night I

00:44:16.600 guess was having

00:44:17.220 dinner with a

00:44:18.840 bunch of senators

00:44:19.540 trying to get

00:44:20.120 them on board

00:44:20.940 not knowing that

00:44:22.780 you were writing

00:44:23.760 your why we

00:44:25.060 can't support

00:44:26.100 this and so

00:44:28.420 his his dinner

00:44:29.460 last night was

00:44:30.620 was wasted I

00:44:31.980 invited you

00:44:32.520 apparently yeah

00:44:33.100 should have

00:44:33.380 invited you but

00:44:35.320 now they're

00:44:38.480 saying the

00:44:39.420 president has

00:44:40.020 come out and

00:44:40.680 so has what's

00:44:42.480 his name from

00:44:43.200 Kentucky McConnell

00:44:44.780 McConnell has

00:44:46.680 come out and

00:44:47.080 said okay we're

00:44:47.980 going to repeal

00:44:48.600 it now a do

00:44:50.260 they actually

00:44:51.120 mean the

00:44:52.120 repeal as we

00:44:53.640 understand it can

00:44:55.040 we do that with

00:44:56.000 51 votes and

00:44:58.060 what's standing in

00:44:59.080 the way I

00:45:00.900 believe we can

00:45:01.640 repeal it with

00:45:02.600 51 votes we

00:45:03.600 know that we can

00:45:04.220 repeal at least

00:45:04.960 two-thirds of it

00:45:05.860 with 51 votes

00:45:06.780 because we got

00:45:07.840 that through the

00:45:08.340 parliamentarian

00:45:08.900 under this

00:45:09.340 reconciliation

00:45:09.820 measure in

00:45:12.240 2015 that's the

00:45:13.580 one that President

00:45:14.100 Obama vetoed I

00:45:15.860 also believe we

00:45:16.600 could add to

00:45:17.600 that one and

00:45:18.400 get in some

00:45:18.940 additional features

00:45:20.020 the title one

00:45:20.780 health care

00:45:21.200 regulations at

00:45:22.760 least in part

00:45:23.820 could be added to

00:45:25.560 those and get

00:45:26.160 those repealed as

00:45:27.600 to whether we can

00:45:28.140 get the votes

00:45:28.760 there are some

00:45:29.840 who are expressing

00:45:31.060 skepticism about

00:45:32.040 that but Glenn I'm

00:45:33.060 unwilling to assume

00:45:34.260 that we can't get

00:45:35.100 there just because

00:45:35.820 some moderates

00:45:36.480 don't like it

00:45:37.080 yes just because

00:45:37.980 some moderates

00:45:38.680 don't want to

00:45:39.340 have to vote for

00:45:40.700 it or against it

00:45:41.760 I don't see any

00:45:43.040 good reason why

00:45:43.900 when this is the

00:45:44.620 one thing that has

00:45:45.540 united Republicans

00:45:46.400 for seven years

00:45:47.560 why we should let

00:45:48.840 anyone who has

00:45:50.140 attained federal

00:45:51.100 public office by

00:45:52.680 campaigning on

00:45:53.440 repealing Obamacare

00:45:54.420 to walk away from

00:45:55.760 a vote to actually

00:45:56.460 repeal Obamacare

00:45:57.180 right at least as I

00:45:58.280 said this morning at

00:45:59.000 least we know who

00:45:59.640 they are right now

00:46:01.460 right now we're

00:46:02.440 asked to compromise

00:46:03.240 to them to the the

00:46:05.680 the the worst bill I

00:46:08.280 could imagine

00:46:09.220 Republicans could

00:46:10.620 possibly present and

00:46:12.940 we're not making

00:46:13.880 people stand on

00:46:15.580 their promise we

00:46:17.540 need to know who

00:46:18.860 is weak-kneed and

00:46:20.480 who is lying to

00:46:21.660 their constituents

00:46:22.480 that's exactly right

00:46:24.440 and that's one of

00:46:25.440 the reasons why I

00:46:26.320 applaud majority

00:46:28.280 leader Mitch

00:46:28.820 McConnell and why I

00:46:29.780 applaud the president

00:46:30.600 in responding last

00:46:31.820 night to this news

00:46:33.500 by saying okay let's

00:46:34.480 vote to repeal it

00:46:35.180 okay so if they do

00:46:36.360 repeal it just pass

00:46:37.720 what they what they

00:46:38.780 had passed how many

00:46:40.120 times before will

00:46:42.580 that reduce people's

00:46:44.340 premiums you know

00:46:46.300 at least set in

00:46:47.020 motion a sequence of

00:46:47.900 events that will

00:46:48.620 reduce people's

00:46:49.440 premiums we have to

00:46:50.460 remember Glenn that

00:46:51.620 when the federal

00:46:52.200 government expanded

00:46:53.060 its footprint in the

00:46:54.880 health care industry

00:46:55.620 rather dramatically

00:46:57.400 with the passage of

00:46:59.080 Obamacare it made

00:47:00.140 the cost of health

00:47:00.900 care go way up

00:47:02.400 and it will do an

00:47:04.460 enormous amount of

00:47:05.840 good as far as

00:47:06.400 lowering premiums if

00:47:07.300 we can also get rid

00:47:08.200 of the Obamacare

00:47:09.800 title one regulations

00:47:11.540 these are the

00:47:12.140 regulations that tell

00:47:13.500 insurance companies

00:47:14.200 what they have to do

00:47:15.220 right in other words

00:47:16.200 if we were analogizing

00:47:17.600 this to the car

00:47:18.220 industry you can't

00:47:18.980 just buy a car

00:47:19.700 everybody has to

00:47:20.700 buy a car but it

00:47:21.360 can't be just any

00:47:22.020 car it's got to be a

00:47:22.820 car that would have

00:47:24.140 all the features of a

00:47:25.460 standard issue Cadillac

00:47:26.560 or anything more

00:47:28.420 expensive than that

00:47:29.220 when we impose

00:47:30.300 regulations like that

00:47:31.140 it makes it more

00:47:31.780 expensive for everyone

00:47:32.940 it reduces competition

00:47:34.240 it's good for

00:47:34.980 consolidation and big

00:47:36.320 industry resulting in

00:47:37.700 15 billion dollars in

00:47:39.660 profits in the top 10

00:47:40.820 health insurance

00:47:41.540 companies in the last

00:47:42.260 few years down from

00:47:42.980 8 billion before

00:47:43.900 Obamacare kicked in

00:47:45.140 these things are good

00:47:46.260 for them but they're

00:47:47.180 bad for everyone else

00:47:48.160 Mike can I ask you a

00:47:49.460 question just born of

00:47:50.920 extreme frustration over

00:47:52.760 years of witnessing

00:47:54.480 this

00:47:54.740 why is it Republicans

00:47:58.420 are so bad at

00:48:00.120 defending their bills

00:48:01.300 and their principles

00:48:02.500 every time something

00:48:04.620 comes up we have

00:48:06.160 Bernie Sanders

00:48:07.920 screaming that

00:48:08.700 thousands and

00:48:09.740 thousands 27,000

00:48:11.520 people a year are

00:48:12.380 going to die as a

00:48:13.260 result of what you're

00:48:13.880 doing Nancy Pelosi

00:48:15.800 comes out and makes

00:48:16.560 those statements and I

00:48:17.420 never see that stuff

00:48:18.780 refuted by the

00:48:20.640 Republican Party

00:48:21.600 we run we run we

00:48:23.220 tuck our tail between

00:48:24.320 our legs and skulk

00:48:26.040 back and say okay well

00:48:27.560 we won't do that then

00:48:28.840 why does that happen

00:48:29.980 every time well you

00:48:32.220 raise an important

00:48:33.100 point which is that

00:48:34.180 when someone raises a

00:48:35.260 ridiculous argument the

00:48:37.120 worst thing we can do

00:48:38.280 is to not address it

00:48:40.780 and then walk back on

00:48:42.040 what we plan to do

00:48:43.060 there are cases in

00:48:44.680 which people make a

00:48:45.580 ridiculous absurd

00:48:46.540 suggestion like that

00:48:47.420 where it almost doesn't

00:48:48.280 even warrant a

00:48:48.820 response I mean that's

00:48:49.480 just absurd to say that

00:48:51.040 we're killing people by

00:48:52.320 changing the reach of

00:48:54.080 the federal government

00:48:54.880 by saying the federal

00:48:55.880 government shouldn't make

00:48:56.800 every health care

00:48:57.540 decision in America

00:48:58.820 it is absurd but the

00:49:00.060 media buys into it and

00:49:01.360 propagates it

00:49:02.160 sure sure but the

00:49:03.520 very worst thing we can

00:49:04.440 do in response to that

00:49:05.380 is to say okay well

00:49:06.380 let's not do that then

00:49:07.400 let's do something that's

00:49:09.180 a little bit more like

00:49:10.680 what Obamacare did and

00:49:13.280 that will suddenly make

00:49:14.600 it better it doesn't it

00:49:16.280 doesn't at all I mean

00:49:17.060 look we are supposed to

00:49:18.300 be the party that

00:49:19.240 believes in limited

00:49:20.060 government we're

00:49:20.520 supposed to be the

00:49:20.960 party that believes in

00:49:21.780 federalism and separation

00:49:23.000 of powers that believes

00:49:23.840 in freedom and free

00:49:25.460 markets with that

00:49:27.100 believes that free

00:49:28.640 markets and civil society

00:49:29.840 have done more to bring

00:49:30.800 more people out of poverty

00:49:31.820 than any government

00:49:32.640 program ever has ever

00:49:34.280 could or ever will

00:49:35.200 that's where we've got to

00:49:36.700 be standing and I think

00:49:38.400 that's the direction in

00:49:39.440 which we're headed in so

00:49:40.880 far as we move forward

00:49:41.940 with an actual repeal bill

00:49:43.540 two quick questions

00:49:44.840 senator mike lee

00:49:45.700 one these are brief

00:49:47.740 so one the 2015 repeal

00:49:51.880 bill did not repeal any

00:49:52.960 of the regulations is

00:49:53.760 that accurate

00:49:54.180 that is accurate we

00:49:56.120 believe we could add

00:49:57.100 some or perhaps even

00:49:58.900 all of the health care

00:50:00.640 regulation sections from

00:50:02.160 title one of the

00:50:02.920 affordable care act to a

00:50:04.280 repeal bill there were a

00:50:05.640 variety of strategic

00:50:06.740 reasons why those weren't

00:50:08.180 included at the time some

00:50:09.640 parliamentary difficulties

00:50:10.680 we would have had at the

00:50:11.700 time that we could

00:50:12.320 overcome this time okay

00:50:13.280 and last one you see

00:50:14.120 there are 52 senators we

00:50:15.500 know susan collins voted

00:50:16.420 against the repeal in

00:50:17.360 2015 so you'd only have

00:50:18.600 one to lose if everyone

00:50:20.080 voted the way they did in

00:50:21.080 2015 do you have enough

00:50:22.200 votes to pass this yes

00:50:24.080 yes because at that point

00:50:27.920 even even assuming susan

00:50:29.400 collins still votes no you

00:50:31.600 you would pick up ran paul

00:50:33.080 who would vote for a

00:50:33.860 repeal bill you'd pick up

00:50:35.020 jerry moran who stood with

00:50:36.460 me last night you'd pick up

00:50:37.500 me so if everyone else also

00:50:39.540 votes for it that would be

00:50:40.620 more than enough that we

00:50:42.060 would need we'd still have

00:50:42.980 one last one last thing i

00:50:47.000 want you to speak directly

00:50:48.380 to the person who is a

00:50:51.080 republican who says you've

00:50:54.580 wrecked our best chance mike

00:50:57.320 of getting rid of obamacare and

00:51:01.620 you betrayed the gop and

00:51:03.740 betrayed the president if you're

00:51:07.000 going to make that assertion

00:51:08.200 back it up if you're going to

00:51:09.680 make that assertion ask the

00:51:11.380 question why have senate

00:51:13.360 republicans not yet voted on

00:51:15.920 that which they promised for

00:51:17.340 seven years they would enact if

00:51:19.760 given the opportunity why have

00:51:21.300 they not yet voted even on the

00:51:23.260 2015 version of the repeal bill

00:51:25.480 you cannot accuse someone who

00:51:27.980 wants us to do simply that which

00:51:29.660 we promised of wrecking the

00:51:32.000 effort to do that which we

00:51:33.620 promised when that person me is

00:51:36.320 simply advocating for us to do

00:51:37.620 what we said we would do that's

00:51:39.260 all we're asking here it's not

00:51:40.660 too much to ask nor is it

00:51:43.040 something that the american

00:51:44.000 people should be asked to back

00:51:45.460 away from we've been asked to

00:51:46.940 settle over and over and over

00:51:49.300 again as americans i'm here to

00:51:51.400 say it's not time to settle it's

00:51:52.860 time to expect more it's time for

00:51:54.740 us to keep our word okay one one

00:51:57.200 last now talk to the person who's

00:51:59.760 just barely hanging on when is

00:52:02.780 help coming mike

00:52:03.660 help is coming soon help is coming

00:52:08.000 i hope within the next few weeks

00:52:11.240 to the next few months when we can

00:52:12.920 pass something that will get rid of

00:52:15.860 the federal government's oppressive

00:52:17.200 reach we cannot solve all of our

00:52:20.320 problems through the federal

00:52:21.640 government and in fact what we see

00:52:23.400 is that when we try to do that when

00:52:24.880 we try to pretend that we can do

00:52:27.140 that we end up making things worse

00:52:29.780 it ends up being really good for

00:52:31.360 the rich and the well-connected a

00:52:33.120 small handful of big wealthy

00:52:34.880 corporations and power brokers in

00:52:37.080 washington and a few other major

00:52:38.460 cities will do really well anytime

00:52:40.660 the federal government extends its

00:52:41.920 reach but everyone else tends to

00:52:43.960 suffer so the relief we can provide

00:52:46.140 the best relief we can provide from

00:52:48.180 washington is to get washington out

00:52:49.880 of your way so that you can do what

00:52:51.240 you do best and so that people will

00:52:53.860 compete to provide health care

00:52:55.480 services to you when we have people

00:52:57.340 competing for that to a greater degree

00:52:59.240 than we have now the price goes down

00:53:01.900 and the quality goes up and you we're

00:53:03.800 after and you believe that you are now

00:53:05.820 or the president and mitch mcconnell are

00:53:08.580 at least saying that they're on the

00:53:10.240 same page with you you're saying the

00:53:12.060 same thing now repeal obamacare and

00:53:14.940 we'll work on what we have to do after

00:53:17.100 we repeal what was put in place that

00:53:20.080 is exactly right and glenn i want to

00:53:21.600 emphasize this point because a lot of

00:53:22.960 people will say why did the

00:53:26.160 republicans not have anything on day

00:53:28.020 one that the problem with this is that

00:53:30.600 the one thing that always has united us

00:53:32.540 has been repeal and that's what we

00:53:34.600 should have done at the outset there

00:53:35.980 never has been widespread agreement

00:53:37.520 among republicans and what should come

00:53:39.220 next so we should start with what

00:53:41.160 unites us repeal has united us for

00:53:44.120 seven years repeal needs to be the

00:53:46.420 message right now and repeal is the one

00:53:48.000 thing we can achieve okay great mike

00:56:41.500 I I agree I absolutely agree with you guy

00:57:01.220 I want relief right now and I'm not sure

00:57:04.700 that anybody has articulated enough in the

00:57:08.520 language of the common man that they see

00:57:11.380 there was no relief coming their way this

00:57:14.060 was this was not a good bill that was

00:57:18.060 help the insurance companies oh yes of

00:57:21.780 course uh my company pays over $1,500 a

00:57:25.620 month for me and my wife with a huge

00:57:58.160 the Glenn Beck program I really want to

00:58:08.040 hear your point of view because I it's

00:58:12.420 important that we listen to each other and

00:58:14.140 we listen to what is happening in

00:58:19.300 everyone's life because it's easy for

00:58:22.340 like the last guy who just called you

00:58:25.000 know he works for a good company or a

00:58:26.760 fortunate company I mean I know a lot of

00:58:28.480 good companies who can't afford to do

00:58:30.320 that the health care costs have gone

00:58:32.620 through the roof and they don't know

00:58:34.400 what to do on the other hand the guy we

00:58:37.560 hired from for HR one of the guys we

00:58:41.340 hired we hired two HR people here and I

00:58:44.320 sat down with him and I said listen I

00:58:47.600 hate HR because it's always about

00:58:49.220 filling out papers because you're about

00:58:51.380 to be fired or it's you're coming in to

00:58:56.260 either tell us how we have to sign up

00:58:58.760 for insurance or that the insurance has

00:59:02.000 changed and it's worse I said so I've

00:59:04.440 never had a good experience working for

00:59:06.320 companies with HR departments and and I

00:59:10.220 said look here's the thing I want you to

00:59:12.220 work on most important the two only two

00:59:14.940 things that are important to me one is

00:59:16.340 culture and the second is health care

00:59:19.340 and I want to find a way to up our

00:59:21.840 health care and reduce the cost to both

00:59:24.880 the company and to the employees and Mike

00:59:29.800 told me he said you know I worked for a

00:59:31.400 company that was just the opposite I

00:59:33.280 don't know when he worked for him but he

00:59:34.740 worked for some company that was telling

00:59:37.260 that he was in a board meeting and the

00:59:40.780 board of directors said well let's just

00:59:43.260 cut the insurance and the board was

00:59:46.180 having an argument and half was saying

00:59:48.360 you know we can't cut the insurance

00:59:50.140 that's a really good perk and benefit and

00:59:52.740 the other half was saying well don't they

00:59:54.120 have that Obama thing they're so out of

00:59:58.200 touch so I know they're really bad

01:00:01.260 companies and there are really good

01:00:02.780 companies and they're doing everything

01:00:05.820 they can and some can't afford it but if

01:00:07.620 you're lucky enough to work for one that

01:00:09.280 can't afford it you're looking at this

01:00:12.580 differently you're looking at this as a

01:00:17.160 little more academic like I had been

01:00:19.180 looking at it we have to listen to the

01:00:21.860 people who are really struggling hear

01:00:24.660 their point of view and then find a way to

01:00:27.200 move forward with them because they are

01:00:32.320 the ones who are impacted the most so how

01:00:36.260 can we help them and how can we reach

01:00:38.360 them and and listen to each other the

01:00:43.880 thing about talk radio is talk radio has

01:00:47.120 given you it started out in the 90s with

01:00:50.680 Rush Limbaugh doing a great thing no

01:00:52.560 something that nobody else had ever done

01:00:54.080 given you giving you the arguments that

01:00:58.520 you needed to persuade your friends

01:01:01.180 well those were in the days when we had

01:01:04.160 friends who were on the other side now

01:01:07.760 talk radio is just feeding us the same

01:01:10.260 thing that we give to our own echo chamber

01:01:13.440 and reinforces our own views we have to

01:01:18.620 expand the tribe so it's not enough to

01:01:22.840 give you the the argument that you

01:01:25.900 understand we have to give you the

01:01:28.620 argument that people who are not on our

01:01:31.840 side or not in the bandwagon we have to

01:01:35.480 give you that argument because that's

01:01:38.380 that's how we expand and that's how we

01:01:40.440 grow and the first part of that is

01:01:43.340 listening to each other first Ian in

01:01:46.160 North Carolina hello Ian welcome to the

01:01:48.100 program hi Glenn how you doing very good

01:01:50.500 sir what do you think of what happened

01:01:53.440 last night with the collapse of this

01:01:55.020 plan and now the president and Mitch

01:01:57.920 McConnell saying we're going to just vote

01:02:00.540 for a repeal of Obamacare and that's it

01:02:03.020 well Glenn I I've listened to this debate

01:02:07.080 back and forth back and forth I I voted

01:02:11.620 for Trump I've always tried to be objective

01:02:14.560 it just I think people need to give them a

01:02:18.540 chance and you know I know the media puts

01:02:22.300 their spin on everything but you know my

01:02:25.680 mind goes back to 2008 2009 when you know

01:02:30.540 the Democrats pushed Obamacare through and

01:02:33.180 I remember it was like a 700 some page bill

01:02:36.760 and they said oh you know we're just gonna

01:02:39.840 pass it through we'll read it later right

01:02:41.560 right you know nobody even just just get

01:02:44.340 it passed I mean there was no thought

01:02:46.080 put into it whatsoever and I got to give

01:02:50.220 it to the guys that are in there now the

01:02:52.280 guys and gals I mean they are really you

01:02:55.940 know Rome wasn't built in a day and I

01:02:59.180 think that they're trying to put their best

01:03:01.460 foot forward and they're trying to get

01:03:03.880 what's best for the people that's my

01:03:06.380 opinion and I think people need to

01:03:08.140 remember that listening to Senator Lee

01:03:11.460 earlier on your program I mean that was

01:03:15.040 inspirational to me I mean I'm a working

01:03:17.660 class man I came from a working class

01:03:19.960 family and this it's this has really hit us

01:03:24.040 hard it's really hit us hard and you know

01:03:27.100 the working class people just need some

01:03:30.000 relief yeah they do thank you and I

01:03:32.760 appreciate it Bob in Florida welcome go

01:03:35.880 ahead I want to know how I want to know

01:03:37.440 how come you don't hear people refer to

01:03:39.000 Obamacare as a welfare program to me

01:03:41.640 that's all Obamacare is it's a welfare

01:03:43.260 program which if you are on it and you're

01:03:45.300 only paying 50 bucks a month your family

01:03:46.940 they have full coverage yeah you're gonna

01:03:48.640 love it but if you're one of the people

01:03:50.400 like me and a lot of other people that are

01:03:51.740 paying 12 1500 bucks a month for your

01:03:53.420 family and you can't even afford to go to

01:03:54.920 the doctor because you're paying so much

01:03:56.260 in premiums and then you see someone

01:03:57.960 saying oh don't take away my Obamacare

01:03:59.500 don't take away you're gonna murder me

01:04:00.820 you're gonna murder me well what about me

01:04:02.480 I mean I'm working my butt off trying to pay

01:04:04.260 my bills and pay my insurance and you get

01:04:07.040 it for free you know so to me that's all

01:04:09.020 Obamacare is and that's why the

01:04:10.140 Republicans have a hard time repealing it

01:04:12.580 Bob thank you very much for your phone

01:04:13.960 call you know that's the thing I don't

01:04:16.040 know if people really understand the the

01:04:18.620 formula of the forgotten man but it's it's

01:04:22.040 really this is what Mike Lee was talking

01:04:23.860 about and Bob you're talking about the

01:04:26.800 forgotten man the guy who is in there

01:04:28.760 just playing by the rules and working

01:04:31.100 hard and paying his own way when person a

01:04:35.300 the government or the politician sees

01:04:38.660 person C which they can which they can

01:04:42.660 give stuff to to bring them into their

01:04:46.080 tent and keep person a in power what

01:04:49.360 they do is look for person B that they

01:04:52.480 can take stuff from and then give to

01:04:55.660 person C so now person a and person C are

01:04:59.480 fine and they're happy hey whoa whoa whoa

01:05:02.240 says person C don't take away my

01:05:04.680 Obamacare saying it to person a don't

01:05:07.820 worry don't worry those who want to take

01:05:10.140 it away they're just evil people and

01:05:12.600 person B is the one in the middle getting

01:05:14.620 squeezed and nobody cares about him and

01:05:18.860 that is the one that we're looking at we

01:05:21.620 need to look at at person C who actually

01:05:25.700 needs it and get the riffraff out that

01:05:30.060 don't actually need it just want it we

01:05:34.680 take care of the people who are really

01:05:36.480 hurting and we take care of the people

01:05:40.020 in the middle by setting them free and

01:05:43.580 setting the market free to be able to

01:05:45.640 bring the prices down the best example

01:05:48.260 is is laser vision laser eye surgery

01:05:54.660 LASIK eye surgery LASIK eye surgery was

01:05:57.380 $600 a procedure about four years ago

01:06:01.740 it's now about 90 bucks a procedure why

01:06:05.020 because no insurance company would pay

01:06:07.060 for it and so the price of the average

01:06:10.320 LASIK surgery came way down that's what a

01:06:14.460 free market does that's what needs to

01:06:17.200 happen with all of health care Nikki in

01:06:19.640 Georgia hello Nikki you're on the

01:06:21.040 Glenn Beck program hi Glenn such an honor

01:06:49.380 cost us before Obamacare it used to

01:07:05.980 Mike Lee for standing up this is not that

01:07:09.820 was not the right way to go about it and

01:07:12.120 and people like us are so thankful but

01:07:17.340 market is the answer we want to work we

01:07:19.340 want to pay for these things but it but it

01:07:22.140 can't be done the way it's being done and

01:07:56.520 plug in Atlanta I think that is I love

01:08:00.760 your attitude of here you are in dire dire

01:08:05.040 need but you're saying we want to work for

01:08:08.080 it we just need the free market to fix this

01:08:11.760 now this American financing when it comes

01:08:14.420 to buying a refining most people get stuck

01:08:17.080 in a paper driven process you need a

01:08:20.120 different mortgage experience you need

01:08:22.480 somebody who is actually looking out for

01:08:24.700 you and will do the right thing for you

01:08:27.340 Stu tell me your story with American

01:08:29.700 financing well I went to American financing

01:08:32.500 along with a bunch of other companies and

01:08:34.620 asked them you know for the the rates and

01:08:37.120 they came in and really good rate and they

01:08:39.000 really were great with customer service and

01:08:40.800 they walked me through the entire process

01:08:42.180 and they were fantastic and kind of last

01:08:44.900 minute because the way my mortgage is

01:08:46.980 structured which is bizarre and you should

01:08:48.620 never structure a mortgage that way

01:08:49.820 shouldn't he doesn't want to put any money

01:08:51.560 down I don't want to I want to give them

01:08:52.860 no money anyway the way my I structured it

01:08:55.100 in a very strange way and because of that

01:08:58.080 there was one company that came in last

01:08:59.760 minute that had a slightly lower rate and

01:09:02.980 so I brought it to them and American

01:09:05.160 financing I said look you know here's what

01:09:06.960 I have here's the paperwork they actually

01:09:08.980 went through all the paperwork looked at

01:09:10.760 it all and said you know what I think you

01:09:12.220 should take that one now the reason why

01:09:14.380 they do that and they did that with Stu is

01:09:16.780 they're not getting rich off of you taking

01:09:20.380 their mortgage okay they're they're salary

01:09:23.720 based so they want to do what's right

01:09:26.520 with you and knowing American financing

01:09:28.500 what they were saying is if a bank is dumb

01:09:31.640 enough to give you that you should I

01:09:34.800 because I think they said run to it didn't

01:09:36.360 they I believe they did yeah that is that's

01:09:39.220 American financing code for you've got a

01:09:42.980 sucker on the line and if they're willing

01:09:45.600 to give you that go for it but they were

01:09:49.280 with Stu with an exception of the sucker

01:09:52.520 bank they were they were right competitive

01:09:57.120 except they wouldn't go this extra step and

01:10:01.160 the reason why those banks go that extra

01:10:03.040 step is because they have salary based

01:10:05.740 people and they've got things they've got

01:10:07.500 to hit and so they will jam you into

01:10:10.100 anything commission-based yeah yeah which

01:10:12.140 yeah commission-based which which hurts you

01:10:15.380 and the bank in the long run it's why I've

01:10:18.220 not taken financing companies before and I

01:10:21.920 waited that American financing wanted to do

01:10:23.820 business with me before 2008 I said you guys

01:10:26.560 are all going out of business and they're

01:10:27.720 like we won't and I said oh yeah watch

01:10:30.180 when the when the financial markets crashed

01:10:33.580 they were fine because they did they didn't

01:10:37.340 they didn't they didn't do things like

01:10:38.760 Stu just encouraged a bank to do nobody

01:10:41.560 said I was smart American financing they're

01:10:43.800 now also doing reverse mortgages and

01:10:45.660 reverse mortgages might be a good way to

01:10:47.960 increase monthly cash flow for your

01:10:50.100 situation there's no mortgage payment and

01:10:53.500 you still retain the ownership of your

01:10:56.240 home how does it work find out but

01:10:59.720 remember they're not trying to sell you

01:11:46.480 have caller ID she's was calling from

01:11:48.820 the Overstreet Lawn Care and her name

01:11:52.020 was Nikki and she has the child with

01:11:54.960 spina bifida and if you are do you have

01:11:58.380 somebody cut your lawn or you're doing

01:12:00.660 something landscaping check them out

01:12:02.880 Overstreet Lawn Care. Do they travel?

01:12:04.780 Can they make it to North Texas?

01:12:07.220 Yeah because Stu has to start mowing his

01:12:08.900 lawn now because he owns the lawn.

01:12:10.380 Yeah that's right that's right he just

01:12:11.520 bought never. Wow. Actually I would not

01:12:14.160 feed my family before I started mowing

01:12:15.680 lawns. I would actually use my last dollars.

01:12:18.580 It's a good strong stand. I wouldn't mind

01:12:20.360 doing it up north but down here I don't

01:12:23.020 know how. Okay so I'm missing a tile on my

01:12:26.560 on my roof I've got a tile that blew off

01:12:29.120 on the last storm. Do you know how hot

01:12:33.220 that roof is? I put a ladder up and I'm

01:12:35.060 like oh ow ow ow. Yeah. I mean I don't

01:12:38.100 know do I need like an asbestos suit to

01:12:40.600 go up? Are you are you trying to tell us

01:12:42.620 that you actually went up on your roof? No

01:12:44.480 way. There's not a chance. With my son-in-law

01:12:47.040 I held the ladder. Yeah. So how did you

01:12:49.900 feel the roof if you held the ladder? Well I

01:12:51.620 went up first and touched the roof. And

01:12:53.780 then you got him. And then I said hey Tim

01:12:55.780 bring some gloves will you? Oh they only

01:13:00.080 fit you? Small hands. This is going to be

01:13:04.880 dead. This Obamacare repeal is going to

01:13:07.160 be dead. That's unbelievable. We've got to

01:13:08.720 put pressure on you. No no no no no no no no.

01:13:10.800 I want to go through this list. I want to

01:13:13.020 go through this list. This is the greatest

01:13:15.000 celebration of all time because there are

01:13:18.500 new people that come in but they have 49

01:13:21.640 votes of people who have already voted for

01:13:23.940 this multiple times. Upwards of 50 in some

01:13:29.380 cases. Yes. So they voted for this over and

01:13:32.680 over and over again when they knew Obama

01:13:35.640 would veto it. Then they went home to you

01:13:39.500 and said hey I'm with you. I want nothing

01:13:43.760 more than to veto this thing. Repeal it. We

01:13:46.440 have tried. We voted 50 different times to

01:13:50.100 repeal it. And the president won't do it. That's

01:13:53.000 why we need the White House and the Senate

01:13:55.000 and the House. Now you're going to find out

01:13:58.120 exactly who meant it. Now you find out who

01:14:01.920 the real weasels are. Because all they have

01:14:04.780 to do is vote for the bill they have voted

01:14:08.540 on multiple times when they knew the

01:14:11.960 president would veto. Yep. So they knew the

01:14:14.740 whole time and they told you give me money

01:14:17.020 vote for me because if I get the chance I

01:14:20.140 will repeal it. Now they have the chance to

01:14:22.380 do it. And you're going to watch these people

01:14:24.320 fold in the next. This is going to be dead by

01:14:26.500 the time we're off the air next hour. So I

01:14:28.080 want you. We're going to give you the list.

01:14:30.460 We're going to show you who's already

01:14:31.600 folding and who already voted for this

01:14:34.720 multiple times. But now they have a new

01:14:37.980 excuse. You know what the deal is because

01:14:40.680 they know the president will sign it this

01:14:43.120 time. So now you find out who the big

01:14:45.840 government progressives really are and the

01:14:48.420 ones who were lying to you when they asked

01:14:51.840 you for money and your vote.

01:14:53.520 We are one!

01:15:21.120 On demand.

01:15:24.640 So Stu just bought a new house over the

01:15:28.620 weekend. Pat do you think he knows that the

01:15:31.020 dollar tumbled last night? Doesn't seem like

01:15:33.000 it. I mean that could be the first sign of

01:15:34.800 collapse. How would I know that if it happened

01:15:36.320 last night and I bought it on Friday? Last thing

01:15:38.220 you'd want to do is buy a house at this point.

01:15:40.340 Don't you think, Pat? Especially in a really

01:15:41.980 nice neighborhood and a really nice

01:15:43.300 subdivision. You wouldn't want to do that.

01:15:44.640 Yeah. Right? You wouldn't want that.

01:15:46.520 Because if you do that, I agree.

01:15:48.420 I mean those people are going to lose their

01:15:50.500 house. You'd want to go economical right now.

01:15:51.280 Yeah, you want to go to where the regular

01:15:53.660 people are going to need a house. Yes.

01:15:55.920 But a fancy house.

01:15:58.100 No, you don't want to. So he said last

01:16:00.020 hour that he's not willing to mow the lawn.

01:16:02.080 What an elitist. But not willing to mow the

01:16:04.740 lawn. And he's been pointing out that the

01:16:07.980 bank owes 90%, you know, owns 90% of his

01:16:10.900 house. Call the bank and tell them that you

01:16:13.380 want their 90%. They want, you want them to

01:16:15.700 mow that 90% of the lawn. Yeah, I like that.

01:16:18.680 Why aren't they doing it? Yes. Okay. Also,

01:16:21.520 healthcare failed in the Senate yesterday, the

01:16:26.400 healthcare bill. Now we are back to the

01:16:30.060 president says last night, let's just repeal

01:16:33.860 it. Yes, Mr. President. Yes. Here is a time

01:16:39.040 that all those who have been asking for us to

01:16:42.380 support the president, we told you when we

01:16:45.400 believe he is on the right track, we will

01:16:47.700 support him. We support him without any kind of

01:16:51.720 equivocation on this of repealing Obamacare

01:16:54.840 100%. Now, how can we make it happen? We'll

01:16:59.720 show you right now.

01:17:01.760 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice. I

01:17:06.940 will hold your hand. Cause we are one. I will

01:17:11.560 beat my drum. I have made my choice. We will

01:17:15.980 overcome. Cause we are one. The fusion of

01:17:20.880 entertainment and enlightenment. This is the

01:17:24.700 Glenn Beck program. Look, I encourage

01:17:29.860 everyone else to talk about the Russian

01:17:31.620 thing. I encourage CNN continue to yap about

01:17:35.000 the Russian thing. Go for it. We're going to

01:17:38.640 talk about healthcare and what can really be

01:17:41.420 done. What needs to be done is anything that

01:17:44.720 will reduce the cost of the average person's

01:17:48.820 healthcare. And what we said last week, I think

01:17:51.460 applies even more now, let them focus on

01:17:54.500 Russia. All they want. That makes this the

01:17:56.980 best time to, to repeal healthcare. Cause

01:18:00.200 they're not paying attention. Right. Just

01:18:02.040 repeal it now. And so here's, here's what

01:18:04.840 happened last night. In case you don't know,

01:18:06.700 uh, Mike Lee and the Senator from Jerry

01:18:10.700 Moran, Kansas, Kansas, um, came out last

01:18:13.480 night and said, they're not going to, they're

01:18:14.960 not going to vote for the reform. Uh, and

01:18:18.460 quite honestly, in my opinion, they shouldn't

01:18:20.540 have. Why it raised, it brought back taxes

01:18:25.340 that had already been taken out. The, with

01:18:29.880 the, are you, the Democrats allowed taxes

01:18:32.920 to be taken out and this bill actually put

01:18:37.340 two taxes back in. Then it also gave, I

01:18:41.660 think 85 or $45 billion just for opioids. And

01:18:46.680 it just, I mean, it was just a, you know, to

01:18:49.000 help with opioids. Are we selling them and

01:18:52.260 helping people get them or what, what was

01:18:54.400 the plan? It was very nondescript to try to

01:18:57.560 get people off of opioids. I think it was a

01:18:59.820 pool of money just to dole out to senators

01:19:01.820 who are having a problem with that in their

01:19:03.640 states. Correct. And we are having a problem

01:19:06.080 with opioids, uh, and we need to deal with

01:19:08.920 that, but not just some giveaway. Um, there

01:19:13.160 were a couple of things in there that were

01:19:14.820 good. One of them was the Cruz, uh, Lee bill

01:19:17.920 and would make it somewhat tolerable if they

01:19:22.940 would have left in what Cruz and Lee put

01:19:26.300 in, which was you got to let the insurance

01:19:30.100 companies free to offer things that are not

01:19:34.220 covered in Obamacare. That doesn't have the

01:19:36.420 title one restrictions that says, you know,

01:19:39.120 every man has to pay for maternity

01:19:41.740 insurance. He's not going to get, he's not

01:19:43.960 going to have a baby. So he doesn't need

01:19:46.920 that. And to take the things out that you

01:19:50.360 don't need, depending on your sex and your

01:19:52.780 age, uh, also to let them compete insurance

01:19:56.820 companies. They took that out. Well, now

01:19:59.880 there's nothing but raising of taxes. There's

01:20:03.240 no relief for anybody who is actually

01:20:06.060 suffering with a very high deductible now

01:20:09.080 and also, uh, a high monthly payment. Where's

01:20:13.960 the relief there? That's what we should be

01:20:16.140 shooting for. Okay. So it fell apart last

01:20:20.280 night about eight o'clock, 11 o'clock. The

01:20:22.800 president came out and said, let's repeal

01:20:25.680 Obamacare. Just go for a straight repeal. Now

01:20:29.020 here's what's great. We've already passed

01:20:32.180 that. How many times? Sometimes I think in

01:20:34.580 some cases up to 50 times this is passed. They

01:20:38.520 have passed it in the house and the Senate

01:20:40.340 over and over again. They have come up with

01:20:43.660 this bill. They have campaigned on that bill.

01:20:47.060 We are going to repeal Obamacare to prove

01:20:51.640 that to you. They have continually passed it

01:20:54.980 when they didn't have the white house because

01:20:58.500 the white house was going to veto it under

01:21:01.720 Barack Obama. And they all knew that. So

01:21:04.880 then what? So then they went out on the road

01:21:08.640 and all of these Republicans, all of them

01:21:11.240 went out and said, we are going to, we've

01:21:13.460 already done a repeal bill. Now, if we can

01:21:15.480 just get the presidency, if we can keep the

01:21:18.080 house and the Senate and the presidency, we're

01:21:20.480 going to be able to push that bill through. We're

01:21:22.740 going to go ahead. We can repeal Obamacare. And

01:21:26.320 as Mike Lee said earlier today, that's what

01:21:28.240 united the Republican Party. So there are 49

01:21:33.520 senators that have already voted on this

01:21:37.940 repeal bill. The one that has gone through

01:21:41.260 up to 50 times. They have 49 senators have

01:21:46.580 already voted on it. There's two new senators

01:21:49.220 that have not voted on it, but they both

01:21:52.480 ran. Is that right? Let me, let me, let me

01:21:55.480 here, let me walk through you real quick. Okay.

01:21:57.100 54 senators in 2015 that voted on this exact

01:22:00.660 bill that they're proposing. Okay. Two

01:22:03.740 Republicans voted no. That was Kirk who is

01:22:08.540 now gone and replaced by a Democrat. So

01:22:10.120 that's going to stay a no. And Collins who

01:22:12.420 has already announced her opposition. Yeah. That

01:22:14.260 gets you to 52 possibles. Okay. Okay. Of the 52

01:22:17.180 possibles, there are three senators that have

01:22:19.060 already voted. 52 possible that have already

01:22:21.780 voted. Yes. Yes. Okay. So three of them,

01:22:24.560 however, are different senators than they

01:22:26.160 were in 2015. Yes. Those three are Coates

01:22:29.200 who left in Indiana and is now replaced by

01:22:31.860 Todd Young, which is a Republican, a

01:22:34.360 Republican and voted on repealing Obamacare.

01:22:37.540 Well, he's a, he's a new senator because

01:22:39.460 he's new. So yes, again, Coates is gone, but

01:22:42.340 we don't, we don't have any vote from Young

01:22:43.800 yet. Yeah. But we know that if you were

01:22:46.400 running for, um, anybody in Indiana, just

01:22:49.580 let us know. I'm pretty sure anybody who is

01:22:52.200 running would have said, would have said

01:22:54.360 they're running repealing Obamacare. Then

01:22:56.620 you have, uh, uh, Vitter who has gone in

01:22:58.920 Louisiana replaced by Kennedy. And then you

01:23:01.260 have, uh, Sessions who was of course in

01:23:03.080 Alabama has been replaced by, uh, Strange

01:23:05.680 Senator Strange. So if you have all three of

01:23:08.860 the new people to vote, no, you'd be down to

01:23:11.640 49. Okay. Now many of them I'm sure ran on

01:23:14.680 repealing it so that you'd assume they'd

01:23:16.200 vote yes, but they're not on record

01:23:17.640 disagreeing with their own vote with a

01:23:19.500 no. Yes. Now we already have, uh, Senator

01:23:22.980 Capito from West Virginia who has come out

01:23:24.660 and said she will reverse her vote from

01:23:26.260 2015. Okay. Now I want you to hear these

01:23:30.040 guys are all on the record as voting

01:23:32.460 weasels to repeal. And when they, this bill,

01:23:35.920 yeah, this bill, when they said, when they

01:23:38.680 voted yes to repeal this bill, they knew

01:23:42.500 they had a president that was going to

01:23:44.700 veto. So there was no consequence of

01:23:47.420 voting. It wouldn't get, they knew it

01:23:48.740 wouldn't get repealed. Correct. So what

01:23:50.560 they did is they voted time and time

01:23:52.940 again to repeal it and then go home to you

01:23:56.520 and say, you need me in Congress. You need

01:24:00.460 me in the Senate. I, I've, I need your

01:24:03.000 support. I need your money. The GOP needs

01:24:05.860 your money. We need your vote. Cause I

01:24:07.920 got to go in there and I've already

01:24:09.420 voted. And if you elect me, I'm going to

01:24:11.080 vote again. We're going to repeal it

01:24:12.680 weasels. So these are the people now

01:24:14.880 that were lying to you. Then took your

01:24:17.920 money, took your time and took your vote

01:24:20.960 and lied to you. And hear me clearly

01:24:23.740 people of West Virginia, which is where

01:24:25.640 Capito is from. This is a state in which

01:24:28.280 Donald Trump won 68 to 26. Donald Trump

01:24:31.900 is asking for this repeal to happen. And

01:24:34.360 your Senator right now is saying no, even

01:24:37.940 though she already voted for the same

01:24:40.540 bill when she knew it wasn't going to

01:24:41.740 pass. She's opposing her president. Right.

01:24:43.500 So we're not the ones, we're not the

01:24:46.480 ones that always say you got to support

01:24:48.320 the president, whatever. But Trump

01:24:51.500 supporters understand that the people

01:24:55.340 who are now obstructing this have already

01:24:59.180 voted for it. If you're in West

01:25:01.360 Virginia, she already voted for it.

01:25:05.020 Then she ran again on repeal. Now you

01:25:10.180 voted by 68 percent for Donald Trump.

01:25:13.500 And now she's opposing the president

01:25:17.420 who is asking her to do that which she

01:25:21.720 has already done. Under the lame pretense

01:25:24.940 that I didn't come here to hurt people.

01:25:27.820 Shut up. Shut up. First of all, you're

01:25:31.480 hurting people by not voting for

01:25:33.000 repeal. Americans, ask yourself this

01:25:36.980 question. Are there more people hurting

01:25:40.440 and struggling today than there were six

01:25:44.360 years ago when this passed? The answer is

01:25:47.240 yes. The answer is yes. Companies are not

01:25:50.320 hiring as many people. So people have lost

01:25:53.920 their jobs. They have lost their doctors.

01:25:55.980 They have lost their health care. You are

01:25:58.580 paying how much more for your premium and

01:26:01.400 how high is your deductible? We went from

01:26:04.540 some people not covered but still being

01:26:08.440 able. Remember, the argument was not that

01:26:10.800 people were dying. The argument was the

01:26:13.840 hospitals are overcrowded because people are

01:26:17.500 just using the hospital emergency room as

01:26:20.840 their insurance and as their primary

01:26:24.520 doctor. So nobody was dying. Nobody was

01:26:27.420 dying. Who is hurting more now?

01:26:32.440 You are hurting far more and it's not just

01:26:35.600 you. It's people across all spectrums. And

01:26:39.120 we've been told by several listeners that

01:26:41.680 their premiums are fifteen sixteen hundred

01:26:43.960 dollars a month. That's a house payment for

01:26:45.900 some people. People can't you can't afford

01:26:48.200 that. You can't afford another fifteen hundred

01:26:51.640 dollar payment just to insure your family. And

01:26:53.540 then what's really bad. And then high deductibles

01:26:55.700 on top of it. You have a sixty five hundred

01:26:57.320 dollar deductible. And they're not paying for

01:26:58.160 anything. Right. I'm paying fifteen hundred

01:27:00.400 dollars a month and then. And my deductible

01:27:02.640 sixty five hundred. Sixty five hundred. I won't

01:27:05.160 spend that. Right. I won't spend that much

01:27:08.200 money. So all you have for fifteen hundred

01:27:10.600 dollars is catastrophic insurance. Yeah. That's

01:27:14.800 ridiculous. That is absolutely unacceptable in

01:27:19.720 America. It's unacceptable. And why is this

01:27:22.960 happening? Because the government and the GOP

01:27:27.180 and the DNC don't want to let go of their

01:27:31.380 power. What's this what's this woman's name in

01:27:33.480 West Virginia? Shelly Moore Capito. Shelly

01:27:36.460 Moore Capito. She already told you what you

01:27:41.360 wanted to hear. But she asked you to believe

01:27:45.180 her. She asked you for money for time and for

01:27:49.280 votes. And now when you are hurting. She will

01:27:54.820 not put us back to where we were. And set it

01:28:00.000 right. And then say, OK, let's look at some real

01:28:03.880 ways to actually fix things. Who else is on this

01:28:07.120 list? So there's so if you take it what we have

01:28:09.700 now there was fifty two. Just looking for Washington

01:28:11.660 office number, which seems like it's two oh two

01:28:14.000 two two four sixty four seventy two. OK, thank

01:28:18.000 you. What was I didn't write it down? It seems like

01:28:20.540 it's two oh two two two four sixty four seventy two. OK,

01:28:24.240 thank you. I'll write that one down. Yeah, write down

01:28:26.520 two zero two. OK, two two four six four seven two.

01:28:31.360 Right. That's a senator from West Virginia. Yeah. Now

01:28:33.760 she, of course, has already stated she's out on this. So

01:28:37.120 she's out. That brings you. She should be back in

01:28:39.120 because she needs to do the will of the people of

01:28:41.260 West Virginia. She's already. She's already voted

01:28:43.980 for it once. Get back in. Why? Why did you vote

01:28:47.360 for you were for hurting people before one of these

01:28:49.900 people? One of these people. I can't remember which

01:28:51.740 which senator it was of the names I'm going to give

01:28:54.580 you here in a second said a lot has changed since

01:28:56.660 2015. Well, a lot has changed. You mean the well, the

01:28:59.640 president's there to sign it now. Yeah. And he

01:29:01.500 actually wants this done. That's what's changed. That's

01:29:03.400 changed. That's what else has changed. You know what else

01:29:05.140 has changed? Premiums through the roof. That's

01:29:06.600 changed. Deductibles out of this world. Yeah. That's

01:29:10.140 what's changed. So if you have 52 to start, then you

01:29:13.580 go down to 51 losing Capita. So far, there's been

01:29:17.320 statements from Portman in Ohio and Cassidy in

01:29:21.220 Louisiana. That they're not going to vote for? Excuse

01:29:22.420 me, not Cassidy, Kennedy in Louisiana that, well, we

01:29:26.920 don't know. All right. So Portman looks, I would say

01:29:30.460 Portman looks like he's a no, but he is not stating

01:29:32.520 it. Well, Portman is Portman. But that would bring you to

01:29:35.120 50. What's his number, Pat? Portman. Senator Rob

01:29:39.100 Portman, it would seem as though his number is 202-224-3353. What, that

01:29:49.640 number again? 202-224-3353. I wonder if Senator Portman has an

01:29:55.900 operator standing by for your call if you would call 202-224-3353. Okay, good.

01:30:06.220 Thank you. So then the other thing that throws a wrinkle in this, because that

01:30:09.320 would bring you down to 50 exactly if they tried to hold this vote.

01:30:11.820 currently Senator John McCain. Well, but if you call 202-224-3353 and ask for Senator Rob or just or Rob

01:30:21.520 Portman or one of his representatives and make your feelings known, I'm sure he's going to listen

01:30:26.860 to the will of the people. Oh, I'm sure. Considering, again, he's already voted for this.

01:30:31.680 Yes. This is not asking him over and over again. These are not, we're not asking him to act in a way

01:30:37.020 that is inconsistent with what he has done before. We're asking him just to do it now that it counts.

01:30:43.640 That's it. That's it. That's it. Act as if you meant it. That's like, you know, that's like I'm in the

01:30:49.380 army and I'm going and I'm, you know, going and I'm going through my training exercise. I'm learning

01:30:56.940 how to shoot. Then you get down on the battlefield and you're like, okay, well, I'm not shooting. I mean,

01:31:02.260 there's actual people on the other end. Conditions have changed. Conditions have changed. I'm in a war

01:31:06.700 zone. What the hell do you think you were doing, dude? But how would you tell him your feelings?

01:31:12.540 I would call it. If he wasn't in the room, I would call this right. You could call a 202-224-3353.

01:31:19.300 We're going to give you the names and I, the rest of the names. And I, I would hate to think that

01:31:23.080 Pat might have the phone numbers too, that you could call. Um, but a student, I tell you that the

01:31:28.040 dollar was down last night. Yeah. You mentioned, yeah, you mentioned that. Yeah. Yeah. I tell you that

01:31:33.760 North Korea looks like shaky. Have you heard about, um, the guys who were on, uh, CNBC last

01:31:42.620 week and they were talking about that this fall looks really, really bad. Looks like kind

01:31:46.320 of the conditions of 1929. Pat, what happened in 1929? The stock market collapsed and people

01:31:51.820 were losing, um, uh, their jobs and their, their bank accounts. Yeah. But there was something

01:31:58.360 else. Uh, Oh, there are big houses that they had bought that they shouldn't have bought.

01:32:01.880 Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The really big ones that they bought. The really big ones. Instead

01:32:05.480 of gone. Instead of getting something a little more modest. Yeah. Anyway, um, Goldline can

01:32:11.200 help you. He doesn't seem to be enjoying this. Yeah. He doesn't seem to enjoy this at all.

01:32:16.040 Goldline has an exclusive report that maybe Stu should have read before he bought his house.

01:32:20.620 Yeah. Um, President Reagan's budget director, David Stockman, this report identifies five threats

01:32:26.520 to the economy. Now we can tell you about the trouble. We can tell you how you can prepare

01:32:31.860 to make sure that if things go catastrophically wrong, you can do something about it. And one

01:32:37.660 of the things you can do is call Goldline and get some gold. Now for $2,500, you're going

01:32:42.500 to get three months of price protection. So the price of gold goes down in the next three

01:32:45.900 months. They're going to make up any money you lost on your $2,500. They're going to make

01:32:49.840 it up with more gold. So you'd lose nothing. And the more you spend, the more protection you

01:32:54.280 get all the way up to one year of protection for a $25,000 investment. That is remarkable.

01:33:01.680 Nobody else will do that. Your 401k won't do that. Your IRA won't do that. The stock market

01:33:06.620 won't do nothing will guarantee that you don't lose money in the year that what your investment

01:33:12.000 was is the same or greater. Make sure you read their important risk information. Find

01:33:17.860 out if buying gold or silver is right for you, but this is a limited time only and nobody else

01:33:22.160 is doing this. Protect your money. Call 866-GOLDLINE. 1-866-GOLDLINE

01:33:27.100 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program. Mercury.

01:33:57.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:33:59.660 Let's go to Ed in Ohio, the state where if there is one senator you need to flip, it is

01:34:05.760 Rob Portman who said a repealing Obamacare is just not good for the country. It's not going

01:34:10.600 to help the people of Ohio.

01:34:11.980 Even though he voted for it already.

01:34:13.220 Yes.

01:34:13.840 But he said he would look at it. He said he would look at it.

01:34:15.940 Tell him to look at it really hard at 202-224-3353.

01:34:19.680 So Ed in Ohio, how are you doing?

01:34:21.800 Not bad, Glenn. How are you doing?

01:34:23.340 Very good.

01:34:24.700 The reason I'm calling today, you guys are really hitting it home here with the healthcare

01:34:28.940 issue. I'm a disabled law enforcement officer that had to retire early due to injuries, sustained

01:34:36.000 doing my job. And I'm 51 now. And I get a letter stating from Ohio Police and Fire that starting

01:34:44.060 in 2018, they're doing away with all of our medical coverage, not just for disabled police

01:34:50.900 officers, but even guys who retire regularly, they're doing away with the orphans, the widows

01:34:56.300 and widowers, all of their medicals gone.

01:34:59.640 And dumping everybody into Obamacare?

01:35:02.580 Well, that's what they're telling us. So we're going to have to go on to the exchanges.

01:35:06.540 And, you know, when I try to contact Portman's office and the congressman's, like Johnson's

01:35:13.000 office up here, you know, we don't qualify. If you're injured in the line of duty total and

01:35:20.220 you have to retire, you don't have to pay your federal tax due to a thing that they have

01:35:25.860 on.

01:35:25.880 You know what, Ed? Hang on. I want one of my producers to get all this information. We

01:35:28.840 want to look into this and help you in Ohio. Thank you so much. Back in a minute.

01:35:32.820 We are one.

01:35:35.720 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:39.060 Mercury.

01:35:43.620 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:44.720 See, this is where this is going to get really bad. Think of this with a call that we just

01:35:48.160 got in Ohio. All of the cops in Ohio, all the people who are, you know, who have worked

01:35:54.860 hard their whole life and they got crap pay, but they were promised retirement and good

01:36:01.960 health care. And now the state of Ohio is saying all of our cops were dumping you into

01:36:08.360 crappy Obamacare. You're going to have to go into the exchanges.

01:36:11.280 So you lose that and you're about to lose your pension because the pensions were total

01:36:18.460 frauds. What is going to happen to people, quite honestly, like Portman? I mean, Portman

01:36:25.120 Portman is, is come out and said he's willing to look at the full repeal of Obamacare, but

01:36:32.380 he doesn't think it's going to help.

01:36:34.300 It doesn't sound like he's inclined to vote for it, though.

01:36:36.380 It sounds like he's going against it, even though he already voted for it in 2015.

01:36:39.420 Yes, he's already voted for this. These guys, these Republicans are going to come up with

01:36:44.080 all kinds of problems. They already voted for it once. Now that you have a president

01:36:50.920 who will sign it and a president who is saying, repeal, forget about the replace right now,

01:36:57.740 just repeal. Ask Senator Portman, you don't think this will help people in Ohio? I don't

01:37:05.500 know. Eight years ago, I wasn't having this problem. Eight years ago, my insurance wasn't

01:37:10.480 this expensive. Eight years ago, I had a, I had a police union that was paying for it.

01:37:17.440 I told you when we were on Fox, I said, pensions are going to fail. Yeah. And when we started

01:37:24.220 talking about Obamacare, I said, the unions are going to dump you into Obamacare. It's only

01:37:31.500 a matter of time because what they have promised you is all fraudulent. And that was, remember,

01:37:39.540 Obamacare was mainly AFL-CIO and SEIU. They, those unions wanted this because they wanted

01:37:48.620 this burden off of their back. And so they're dumping you into Obamacare. So the police in

01:37:54.820 Ohio, you're just, you're just the first, um, in your world to get this, but every labor

01:38:00.480 union is going to dump people into Obamacare. Guarantee it. That way they don't have to be

01:38:07.640 held responsible. It's not the union's fault. Got to call Senator Portman. If you live in

01:38:12.160 Ohio, you really need to call Rob Portman. 202-224-3353. That's his Washington number.

01:38:18.220 And if you live in West Virginia, what was her name? Uh, Senator. Everyone's sorry. It's not,

01:38:23.900 it's not Capito. It's, uh, Capito. No, it's Capito until she votes right. Cause Shelly more Capito,

01:38:30.040 uh, or Capito Capito. Yeah. Uh, just think Capito, the speedo. There you go. I don't know why we've

01:38:39.560 said that. Right. Um, so, uh, yeah, those two are, are big. And by the way, Glenn, on your union's

01:38:44.020 point, it's interesting to note that I think when they, when this thing fails, what they will say

01:38:48.220 is, well, it's not that, oh, this failed. We were the ones that got you this amazing healthcare

01:38:55.940 that's available. They will say, you gave us these donations so that we can get you something

01:39:01.480 like Obamacare and now you have it. We don't need to cover you anymore. Yeah. They'll push you onto

01:39:05.840 that with a smile on their face and expect you to take it. Yes. Unless you stop it. And by the way,

01:39:10.280 another big union, uh, state, I believe is West Virginia coal miners unions. Oh my gosh. I mean,

01:39:17.660 West Virginia is inexplicable that she would be first to come out against this. Donald Trump

01:39:21.840 is pushing hard for this to happen. He's mentioned it. Even when they were negotiating the old bill,

01:39:26.180 he said, why don't we just get full repeal and start from there? He's asking for it. The people

01:39:31.540 of West Virginia gave Donald Trump 68% of the vote. That's a mandate. That is a mandate to do what

01:39:38.600 the people want. And I will say, you know who else you should call his mansion? Because despite him

01:39:42.240 being a Democrat, he knows that Donald Trump, uh, is incredibly popular in that state. And maybe you

01:39:49.560 can flip him into considering it. I don't know. Maybe you can, he voted against it last time,

01:39:53.880 but that's certainly a 2015 vote doesn't seem to hold anybody's feet to the fire. So there's,

01:39:57.360 there's not a single Democrat right on board with repeal. No, I mean, mansion would be the only one

01:40:01.980 you'd even consider trying really. I mean, I, all the other ones are going to say,

01:40:05.040 no, they have no reason to mansion is anything that Republicans do. They built this bill so

01:40:09.720 poorly that, and again, this is what we talked about, uh, when I said, I would not want to be

01:40:16.420 the president right now. Cause you're looking at possibly a one-term president. This is what I

01:40:20.500 said, you know, in 2016, 17, you're looking at a one-term president because he's going to,

01:40:26.940 whatever he does to Obamacare is going, it's going to implode on his term and in his

01:40:35.000 term and he's going to have to change it. And all change is going to be looked at as bad and

01:40:40.140 uncomfortable. And so we have that coming. Now, what they need to do is seriously free up the

01:40:48.100 free market. And we can do this. We can do this. Mansion has a toll-free number. Is that a term you

01:40:55.160 ever even see anymore? Because almost every number is toll-free, right? 855-275-5737.

01:41:02.180 Let me go to, uh, Ohio. Somebody else that, uh, uh, Senator Portman says is not affected really

01:41:08.600 won't help his state if they repeal Obamacare. Jay, is that, uh, is that accurate that people in

01:41:15.580 Ohio won't be affected with, uh, or haven't been affected with Obamacare? No, Obamacare has been

01:41:21.160 nothing but a disaster and everyone knows that. By the way, good to finally talk to you. I have set 9-12

01:41:27.180 and never got there. Wow. Anyway, uh, yeah, I called Portman's office. It's going right to his

01:41:35.000 machine and it's not even recording the messages. Jeez. Wow. It's saying message canceled. It did it to

01:41:43.060 me three times in a row. Are you going to, well, it might be full already. Are you, uh, are you going

01:41:48.520 to his local offices? Yeah, well, I'll get that number. I'm, I might be, I mean, I got that number

01:41:55.480 in my phone. I haven't called that one yet. So you should call his local office and, uh, and also,

01:42:00.480 uh, uh, we'll give you an email address. Um, I got his email. Yeah. I've got this covered

01:42:06.280 for years and you're, you're absolutely right though. He campaigned on repealing Obamacare

01:42:15.060 and he's being a little weasel using Pat's favorite term and, uh, uh, also going at it from

01:42:25.460 there. I'll say this about Portman too. What's important about Portman is if you can get

01:42:29.220 Portman to somehow, uh, support repeal, uh, he will give cover to other moderates. Yes.

01:42:35.480 Portman's an important figure in the Senate. People do listen to him. And if you can win

01:42:39.580 him over on this after he's come out already pretty much skeptical and leaning no, you might

01:42:44.900 be able to keep some of these other people who will probably flake out in line. So you

01:42:48.460 might try his Columbus office. 614-469-6774. Let me go to Phil in Colorado. Hello, Phil.

01:42:57.040 Hi Glenn. Before I get started, I'd just like to say Dr. Who convinced me that bow ties are

01:43:03.100 cool and you've cured me of that. Thank you very much, Phil. I, uh, there's a compliment

01:43:10.300 in there somewhere. I don't know if I'll ever find it or not. Thank you. You've made me a

01:43:15.840 better man. Thank you. Um, anyway, I'm a computer hacker in Colorado Springs and I, I worked for

01:43:21.480 four years. Wait, wait, hold it. Just wait, hold it. Stop. I, you know, something usually you

01:43:26.180 don't hear people openly admit that you're a computer hacker. I am actually, I'm a computer

01:43:30.980 hacker with a handful of really high level security clearances. So I'm one of the guys

01:43:35.240 that wear the white hat. Okay. All right. Okay. So I've been a number of years working

01:43:39.280 for Hewlett Packard enterprise and traveling a lot and helping, uh, federal and DOD clients

01:43:43.840 to secure their computers. And, um, I had awesome insurance because Hewlett Packard, um, is self-funded.

01:43:50.200 So I didn't have to worry about Obamacare. For the past year, probably I've been out on

01:43:55.540 my own. I have my own software security consultancy and my insurance, we just let it lapse. We

01:44:01.200 just quit paying it at the end of June. It was $1,500 a month. Our deductible is $5,000.

01:44:08.000 Um, I make $180,000 a year about, so I can afford it. But I was talking to my wife. Why? Why?

01:44:14.500 Why pay an extra $1,500 a month tax? That's doing me absolutely zero good. My plan. If I get really

01:44:20.980 sick, if I get catastrophically ill, I'm just going to run up a multimillion dollar bill and

01:44:25.340 declare bankruptcy. But other than that, going to the doctor, I'm just going to pay for it.

01:44:29.820 I literally have been forced out of insurance and I can't afford to pay it, but it's the cost is just

01:44:36.440 outrageously expensive. So I've got a different route. Uh, I have just taken just, I've just

01:44:44.480 taken catastrophic, uh, insurance. So I'm not covered for anything but catastrophic and

01:44:50.680 I'll pay for, you know, I'll pay for, for everything up to catastrophic. I don't, I don't

01:44:56.080 feel comfortable, you know, declaring bankruptcy and just knowing it in advance, but I'm not

01:45:04.800 a hacker. It isn't $1,500 a month and a $5,000. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. So did you get,

01:45:12.580 did you get fined, Phil? Uh, no, not yet. I'm sure that, uh, I'm sure April 15th is not going to be

01:45:19.540 fined for me. Well, you should have. I've had insurance for half the year and I've only been

01:45:22.800 off of it for a couple of weeks. My wife is looking into those, those sharing, those expense sharing,

01:45:28.000 Christmas sharing. Yes, those are good. Yeah, MediShare is one. MediShare is good. That's one of them.

01:45:32.240 That's one of them. So we're looking into that and, uh, those to me seem like a pipe dream. The,

01:45:37.480 the prices are really low and affordable. Uh, I just, how, how can they work? I don't know.

01:45:42.760 Can we get MediShare? Let's get MediShare on. Yeah, it's a really, it's, those are legitimate.

01:45:47.140 Yeah, they are legitimate. We'll try to get them on so they can explain. It's, it's actually out of

01:45:51.400 Obamacare basically. Yeah, it is a, it's a religious thing and, uh, and has, is working very well. Uh,

01:45:58.260 and especially for people up in Ohio. Yeah, no, it, uh, it's, uh, it's actually really

01:46:03.500 interesting. You have to, you know, go through their, you know, there's their whole, they have

01:46:07.440 rules, like there's certain things you're allowed to do and not allowed to do, but it's, it's a

01:46:10.740 really, it's, it's kind of a cool thing. It was, it's a co-op. Is that what that is? It's a,

01:46:14.180 it's a cost sharing service. Uh, so they, and it's in Obamacare basically said for certain

01:46:19.660 religious organizations, there's a carve out. And so, so many people who wanted to get away from

01:46:24.000 Obamacare have taken that option and done really well with it. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you so much,

01:46:28.740 Phil. Let's go to Tamara in Ohio. Uh, hello, Tamara is, uh, is Senator Portman, right? That,

01:46:35.000 uh, uh, repealing Obamacare will just not really be in the best interest of the state of the people

01:46:40.180 of Ohio. Well, it may not be in Rob Portman's best interest, but it's in the best interest of

01:46:45.840 the state of Ohio. And I was able to get through to Senator Portman's email and left a message for him

01:46:52.920 or to his voicemail and left a message for him. And then I came on to leave a, an email as well.

01:46:58.840 His website is pandering for our Obamacare stories. He has, he has a link that says,

01:47:06.040 please tell me your Obamacare story. And he says the big government healthcare was supposed to reduce

01:47:12.700 the cost. Instead, Ohio's paying a hundred dollars more per month. And he said that as money that could

01:47:19.000 be going toward retirement groceries and their children's higher education, instead, it's going

01:47:24.060 to cover president Obama's costly mandates. So I encourage everyone in the listening audience

01:47:30.280 to get on, um, portman.senate.gov, leaving the message. You can leave messages for any senator

01:47:38.900 or congressman. You don't have to be in their state. And it would really help us Glenn. If you

01:47:43.580 could post that list on glennbeck.com, I commit that I will contact every senator on that list

01:47:49.600 via their email and encourage them to be consistent and then challenge the audience to do the thing.

01:47:55.860 Well, I will tell you Portman and, uh, Calamari, what's her name again in, uh, West Virginia?

01:48:01.340 It was Calamari. No, I'm going Calamari. I like that better.

01:48:05.260 Capito, uh, in West Virginia, those two are critical. Um, I mean, everyone is all hands

01:48:13.540 on deck. Uh, but those two are critical because they have already come out and said, ah, I'm

01:48:18.400 not really sure. She has already said in West Virginia, she won't do it. She's out. Um, and

01:48:22.880 that's, I guarantee you, West Virginia, your, your, your pensions are gone, uh, in the coming

01:48:30.460 years. As you're seeing now in Illinois, your pensions are gone. As you're seeing in Ohio,

01:48:35.380 you're going to be dumped into Obamacare, um, because your unions have lied to you. And apparently

01:48:41.800 your lawmakers have lied to you because first they told you that you were going to save

01:48:46.500 $2,500. Then they're telling you that, uh, they're going to repeal Obamacare and you, we

01:48:54.000 need your money. We need your time and we need your vote. Then they vote for it when they know

01:48:58.560 the president is going to veto it. Once they get a president who is not going to veto it,

01:49:03.760 they change their mind and say, well, I don't know. It's not so bad. You let them know the

01:49:09.520 truth, but hold their feet to the fire. And we will put the list of every single Senator

01:49:14.760 that already has voted for this bill. It's not a new bill. They've already voted for it

01:49:21.280 multiple times. Why won't they vote for it now? Now this Casper sleep tossing and turning,

01:49:29.720 not sleeping. It is. There are times when you just hate going to bed. I never thought I would

01:49:36.800 say that when I was younger. I understand why my grandfather was up feeding the chickens

01:49:41.320 at four o'clock in the morning. They just couldn't sleep. And there's nothing worse than

01:49:46.340 looking at your bed and going, Oh, they got to go to bed. And you don't want to, you want

01:49:52.360 something that you look forward to going to bed in every night. Casper mattress is probably

01:49:57.660 that mattress for you. In fact, they have two high tech foams that guarantee that you have

01:51:02.340 Okay. On tomorrow's program, we have somebody who can actually do more than just throw money

01:51:08.700 at a problem. One of the guys who's on the front lines of fighting opioid abuse in America.

01:51:14.820 And, you know, I hate saying this because, you know, it makes it sound like there are people who are

01:51:20.060 abusing opioids, you know, and buying them on the open market. When I think what the real problem in

01:51:27.460 America is, is you're getting addicted to them by your doctor. And then you just can't get off them.

01:51:33.980 And it's a, it's a hidden shame for a lot of people. And then I think also a lot of people are,

01:51:41.720 you know, being nefarious with them. But I think there's a ton of Americans that have been so over

01:51:48.460 prescribed and, and are trapped. I mean, you know, the first time I ever heard of, of what is it?

01:51:56.340 Fentanyl was when I was over prescribed and given fentanyl after a surgery. And it says on the

01:52:03.860 box for end of life use only, I know millennials that have been prescribed fentanyl who have a long

01:52:13.580 time in left in their life. There's almost no going back from that. There's a real problem with

01:52:20.600 opioid abuse in America, and we're going to address it, frankly, tomorrow. That and also more on the

01:52:30.160 health care bill and what can be done. Tomorrow's program. Don't miss it.

01:52:35.380 This is the Glenn Beck program.
