00:00:23.980 We're still waiting to hear the fate of Charlie Gard.

00:00:27.440 Also, anybody see Dunkirk this weekend?

00:00:32.000 Absolutely.

00:00:33.780 I believe a masterpiece written in a way that I have never seen any movie written before.

00:00:41.360 Really incredible.

00:00:42.740 We'll talk about that and so much more.

00:00:44.480 We begin right now.

00:00:57.440 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:07.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:11.780 Let me just start with the weekend news.

00:01:17.760 Dunkirk was performing really, really well.

00:01:20.100 I had a hard time finding a movie theater that actually had any seats available this weekend.

00:01:27.080 50 million. 50.5.

00:01:29.260 That's it?

00:01:29.920 Yeah.

00:01:30.260 Wow, I thought it would have been a lot more than that.

00:01:32.060 It's still a pretty good opening for it.

00:01:33.480 It was pretty long, wasn't it?

00:01:34.860 Yeah.

00:01:35.340 Two and a half hours, I believe.

00:01:36.660 Something like that, yeah.

00:01:37.400 I went to the, I saw it at the movie theater that you suggested, Stu.

00:01:41.320 Oh, yeah.

00:01:41.660 And remember I was mocking you on Friday?

00:01:43.620 Yes.

00:01:44.120 And I said, sound, it's fine.

00:01:46.640 How good can the sound be?

00:01:48.680 Holy cow. 0.89

00:01:49.640 Really?

00:01:50.140 Oh, really?

00:01:50.560 I went to a 70 millimeter Dolby theater.

00:01:53.560 Oh, Atmos.

00:01:54.760 The Dolby Atmos sound?

00:01:56.260 It was unbelievable.

00:01:58.520 It's incredible.

00:01:58.980 The, the, the, all the subwoofers are underneath the stadium seating.

00:02:04.460 So you, when a plane in Dunkirk, when a plane was going from left of screen to the right

00:02:09.220 of the screen, you felt the rumble underneath you as if the ground, it was unbelievable.

00:02:15.200 I saw it in XD and it wasn't, it's, that's not, it's not quite that good an experience.

00:02:19.700 You need to go.

00:02:21.260 I told Tanya, cause she didn't go.

00:02:23.280 I took the boys and she didn't, she didn't go.

00:02:26.480 And I said, uh, you have to see it.

00:02:28.760 And we're driving 30 minutes to this theater to see it.

00:02:31.620 Seeing it on XD Dolby Atmos was remarkable, remarkable.

00:02:37.420 Let me just say this.

00:02:39.020 Um, I thought for a, a movie where it was about the near death of the English army, uh, and,

00:02:52.320 and French, um, that had such high casualties.

00:02:58.520 It was the least gory film I think I have seen of any war.

00:03:04.140 It was almost in some ways it didn't feel like this at all, but almost like an old 1970s TV war.

00:03:10.500 You didn't really see blood splattering.

00:03:14.680 You didn't see that too.

00:03:15.980 It was, I'm glad I am too.

00:03:17.620 Yeah.

00:03:17.780 I'm glad they didn't, um, you didn't need it, didn't need it at all.

00:03:20.680 It had, um, uh, personally, I didn't think there was a star to the movie.

00:03:26.240 There was no, no private Ryan.

00:03:29.100 Uh, there was no Tom Hanks.

00:03:31.020 It was cut up into, into three different, um, uh, angles.

00:03:37.460 And it's really important when you go to see this, I thought it was very ineffective.

00:03:43.440 Um, the only thing that I could criticize this movie on is Christopher Nolan in, if he

00:03:50.460 would change the stylized way to shoot it.

00:03:52.820 Yeah.

00:03:52.980 And if he changed one word or one way in one frame, he would be able to, uh, fix this problem.

00:04:00.680 What he did is at the beginning, it's showing, uh, the guy, one of the guys who is basically

00:04:07.080 on the beach.

00:04:07.680 I'm not going to give anything away.

00:04:08.740 This is important for you to, you will, this will help the experience.

00:04:12.280 Yes.

00:04:12.560 It'll help you.

00:04:13.240 So this is a very beginning shows the guy, um, uh, you know, on the beach and it will say

00:04:18.400 underneath, it will say the mole one week.

00:04:22.000 Now I didn't know what the mole is the area of the beach where they evacuated.

00:04:27.040 Correct.

00:04:27.500 They called it.

00:04:28.160 It's the Dunkirk mole.

00:04:29.440 Okay.

00:04:29.980 So they say that in the movie, you know, in the first opening minutes, but you miss it.

00:04:36.020 That's just in conversation.

00:04:37.600 And if you miss what the mole is, you will be confused because the mole, it'll say the

00:04:44.540 mole one week.

00:04:46.180 So it takes one week.

00:04:47.200 Well, all the things that happened there.

00:04:48.800 So everything that happens on the beach is a one week time period.

00:04:52.720 Then a few minutes later, it will show something that's happening in the water.

00:04:56.880 And it says the water, the sea, oh yeah, the sea one day.

00:05:01.280 And then a few minutes later, it says the air one hour.

00:05:07.020 If you don't like me, I didn't know what the mole was.

00:05:11.740 And so when I saw the mole one week, I was trying to figure out what the mole was more than one week.

00:05:19.100 So I'm like, what the hell is the mole?

00:05:21.120 It must be that guy is the mole or is this a plot?

00:05:25.260 It's confusing if you miss it.

00:05:25.580 Is this a plan?

00:05:26.280 What is it?

00:05:27.040 So I missed the one week.

00:05:28.480 Then the next time it said the water, one day, I was trying to figure out the relationship

00:05:35.160 between that guy and the water.

00:05:38.240 I didn't understand.

00:05:39.700 And so I missed that it is shot and edited in three different ways.

00:05:46.240 It is, and it coincides, the whole thing moves at the same time, but there are three different

00:05:51.680 time periods they're looking at.

00:05:53.260 One week, everything on the beach, one hour, I'm sorry, one day, everything in the water

00:06:00.880 and one hour in the air.

00:06:03.980 Yeah.

00:06:04.520 When you understand that, my daughter Hannah was the only one that caught this, at least

00:06:11.880 in our family.

00:06:13.360 And she, we got out and we were talking about it and she said, oh my gosh, dad, didn't you

00:06:17.420 recognize that you saw X, Y, and Z earlier in the film?

00:06:20.320 And I was like, yes, I did, but I didn't understand, I didn't understand why it was there and what

00:06:26.500 the relationship was.

00:06:27.700 I couldn't, if you miss that one thing, you'll miss a lot of this movie.

00:06:32.880 With that being said, this movie is, I think, a war masterpiece.

00:06:40.040 I have never seen a movie where, the closest you can get to this is Hitchcock, where the

00:06:46.840 score, the Hans Zimmer score, Hans Zimmer was his, he was a co-writer of this film because

00:06:55.040 the language, the talking, the, what do you call it, dialogue.

00:06:59.900 There's not a ton of dialogue in it.

00:07:01.360 Very little.

00:07:02.560 And, and it's not that important because it doesn't carry the story.

00:07:07.560 There is no real story except, are they going to get off the beach?

00:07:10.600 So, uh, the dialogue is not that important.

00:07:14.400 The music starts with a ticking at the very beginning and it never stops.

00:07:21.280 And Hans Zimmer is a co-writer of this movie.

00:07:25.580 He's not just the guy who did the music.

00:07:27.740 I believe he's a co-writer of this movie.

00:07:30.380 It's brilliant the way it's done.

00:07:32.640 Brilliant.

00:07:33.340 I can't wait.

00:07:33.980 I was surprised how many people never heard of Dunkirk.

00:07:37.680 Oh my gosh.

00:07:38.240 That blows me away.

00:07:39.160 Yeah.

00:07:39.440 I mean, what has happened to our, our education system?

00:07:43.440 Yeah.

00:07:43.600 My oldest said he'd never heard of it.

00:07:46.220 Like, how did that happen?

00:07:48.080 How did you graduate?

00:07:49.520 How, how did we let that slip through the cracks?

00:07:51.660 You don't know Dunkirk?

00:07:52.740 No.

00:07:53.420 It's amazing.

00:07:53.780 How many people won't know, um, that the, that the, the important, some important dialogue.

00:08:00.700 And again, I'm not wrecking, wrecking, wrecking anything.

00:08:02.880 Some important dialogue in the movie is, is the speech of Winston Churchill.

00:08:08.340 Cause they don't give, you know, we will storm the beaches.

00:08:11.120 We will, it becomes narration at one point and you don't really, I mean, people, I'll bet

00:08:17.660 you most people won't put together, oh, that's Winston Churchill speech.

00:08:22.020 Even though it's sad, said once, but it's, you know, just the scale of those few days

00:08:29.260 is unbelievable.

00:08:30.500 Unbelievable.

00:08:31.220 When you think that the British, uh, had 68,000 casualties and the French, 290,000.

00:08:40.040 That, that would shut the United States of America down.

00:08:43.280 We would be out of the war.

00:08:44.700 Okay.

00:08:44.820 We're done.

00:08:45.620 I mean, we don't have the stomach for that.

00:08:47.400 No.

00:08:47.860 At all.

00:08:48.340 Especially when you look at per capita, think about that per capita.

00:08:52.420 Yeah.

00:08:52.620 It's unbelievable.

00:08:53.000 I mean, and it was per capita in 1940.

00:08:56.220 Yeah.

00:08:56.880 And it was, you know, there was really some amazing things of, uh, real heroism.

00:09:02.980 And then, uh, you know, I, I happened to go with a guy who is Scottish and I said to him,

00:09:10.940 um, so he's in the, I don't know, the Royal Greeny Wigs or whatever they call them over

00:09:18.960 there.

00:09:19.540 The Greeny Wigs.

00:09:20.840 He's actually, uh, an amazing guy.

00:09:24.140 But, uh, uh, he said, uh, I said, how did you make that?

00:09:30.320 How did that feel?

00:09:31.640 Does that feel like, like, I guess American history would feel to me?

00:09:35.560 Is that real extra poignant to you?

00:09:38.820 And he said, it's funny because I was wondering how Americans would view this and, uh, heroism

00:09:47.320 is heroism and it doesn't matter where it's from.

00:09:51.040 And it was, it was remarkable.

00:09:54.080 There are times when, again, a movie with really no storyline and no lead characters.

00:10:00.240 And when you, at one point in the movie, and I won't say anything about it, but at one

00:10:06.040 point in the movie, nothing is said and you will start crying.

00:10:12.780 You will just be so overwhelmed with heroism.

00:10:16.760 It's a, it's a remarkable movie.

00:10:18.440 It's one of those times too, where you really can't complain about spoiler alerts because

00:10:21.780 it just admits that you don't know anything about history.

00:10:24.100 Yeah.

00:10:24.880 What, what war?

00:10:26.380 What are you, now you've ruined it.

00:10:27.800 Dunkirk, who knew they were on the beach?

00:10:30.540 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:10:32.940 It's a minor problem.

00:10:34.500 Boy, I was, I'm amazed too, uh, with them on the beach that long, Pat, it really comes 1.00

00:10:42.140 through on either divine providence or how stupid and insane Hitler was. 1.00

00:10:49.400 Hitler was. 1.00

00:10:50.100 Yeah.

00:10:50.760 I mean, he stopped.

00:10:52.160 He did.

00:10:52.640 He had him on the beach.

00:10:53.840 He told him to stop.

00:10:54.640 And he stops and turns around.

00:10:57.840 He could have wiped out all of the French and all of the English, and he could have 0.99

00:11:03.200 conquered England. 0.60

00:11:04.960 We would have been totally alone, totally alone in the war.

00:11:09.120 One of the miracles, uh, the fact that we survived that at all is because he was so convinced

00:11:13.660 he was brilliant.

00:11:14.560 Yes.

00:11:14.820 Like the fact that he's arrogant, every single vibe of his, every single move, you know,

00:11:19.060 movement of his quote unquote gut he acted on for so long wound up being one of the only

00:11:24.460 ways that we escaped really much, much worse than what happened.

00:11:29.780 I mean, when you see this and you really put into perspective what you know about history,

00:11:34.160 that that was it.

00:11:35.340 I mean, that was, that was the fleet.

00:11:37.880 I mean, the reason why they didn't come over and save them was because they didn't want

00:11:41.200 to get rid of the boats that they had.

00:11:44.060 They knew if they go, they send their Navy over to Dunkirk and he, and he sinks them.

00:11:49.580 They're done.

00:11:51.180 I mean, this, it was this event that caused Churchill to finally call and say, I want you

00:11:57.040 to know if you don't get involved now, uh, you, any boat that is left, you will see on

00:12:06.420 your shore soon and it will have a swastika on it, not the flag of great Britain.

00:12:12.640 And that's the only reason why we got involved.

00:12:16.120 I mean, it was, it was dire.

00:12:18.860 Well, even then it took the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor, but we started lend lease.

00:12:23.320 Yeah.

00:12:23.780 You know, we, we sunk the, we sunk the British Navy.

00:12:27.520 Most people don't know this.

00:12:29.180 When we won world war two, we were so world war one, we were so arrogant on the league of

00:12:34.880 nations, which didn't happen.

00:12:36.420 That Woodrow Wilson, for us anyway.

00:12:38.640 Yeah.

00:12:38.920 For Woodrow Wilson, he said to the British, you need to scale back your Navy.

00:12:45.820 Now here's a country that has, that at that time, the sun never sets on.

00:12:53.020 So if you don't have a Navy, how are you going to defend your colonies?

00:12:58.560 So he says to Wilson and Churchill, who happens to be, I think the, the head of the Navy, Secretary

00:13:07.060 of Navy, I don't want to know what they call them over there.

00:13:08.840 Um, but he's like the Secretary of Navy.

00:13:10.960 Um, but he says, you got to sink half your fleet.

00:13:15.440 They do it because they owe us so much money.

00:13:19.820 They sink half their fleet.

00:13:23.440 Then we humiliate the Germans. 1.00

00:13:28.460 Don't even give them a chair at the table of the negotiations for peace.

00:13:33.660 You needed a chair?

00:13:35.160 Should have thought of that before you started a war.

00:13:37.040 So we humiliate them.

00:13:40.140 And then in the 1930s, when Germany is breaking all of their treaties and they're building ships, 0.61

00:13:46.700 they're building subs, they're building planes.

00:13:49.180 The Luftwaffe is just growing beyond comprehension.

00:13:53.540 The fastest growing industrial might in the world is happening in Germany.

00:13:59.300 Germany and Churchill says, we don't have a Navy guys.

00:14:03.640 Remember the reason why they had to come to us and say, we need ships.

00:14:12.200 You need to sell us ships is because we sunk their Navy. 0.81

00:14:18.260 We told them we'll keep the peace.

00:14:20.460 We're going to sink the Navy and the League of Nations will do it. 0.99

00:14:24.740 And we were so arrogant that people in Congress said, don't build ships.

00:14:30.780 No, the way to keep peace is not to have any warships.

00:14:33.820 Finally, after Dunkirk, it was FDR who said, okay, we're going to lend them and lease them to you.

00:14:40.980 But we can't sell anything to you.

00:14:43.860 And that was the beginning of us getting involved and actually saving the world.

00:14:49.700 And now this summer vacation, summer vacation is exciting for you, but it's also exciting for burglars.

00:14:59.600 Knowing that you leave your house empty.

00:15:01.960 I remember we grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington at 202 Warren.

00:15:07.160 It's a great house that my mother grew up in across the street from.

00:15:10.920 And she used to look at her, out of her window, and she would look at that house and say, someday, someday, I want to own that house.

00:15:21.080 I want to live there.

00:15:22.460 And that's the house that I grew up in.

00:15:25.100 And we never locked our doors except when we would go on vacation.

00:15:31.440 Because there's nobody around.

00:15:33.000 Nothing going to happen.

00:15:35.100 Somebody can come in and rob everything.

00:15:36.920 You're gone for a week.

00:16:23.940 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:16:29.400 Mercury.

00:16:34.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:16:37.700 So glad that you have tuned in.

00:16:39.100 There is a horrible tragedy that happened in San Antonio this weekend.

00:16:44.420 A semi-tractor trailer was found.

00:16:50.880 And it was full of illegals. 0.92

00:16:55.380 And how many were dead?

00:16:58.120 Nine.

00:16:58.480 We think that there were probably a hundred in there because some ran out as soon as they opened the doors.

00:17:05.220 Seventeen are in the hospital.

00:17:07.740 Nine are dead.

00:17:08.740 And I have to tell you, the truck driver should get the death penalty. 0.89

00:17:13.680 I really believe we need to send a very strong message to people who are acting as coyotes. 0.97

00:17:22.860 You get the death penalty, man.

00:17:24.280 If you are caught and you are transporting people like cattle and anyone dies, death penalty. 0.98

00:17:38.460 This is horrible.

00:17:40.340 This happens.

00:17:40.980 You don't understand.

00:17:42.020 Can you imagine how hot that truck was?

00:17:45.440 Yeah.

00:17:46.060 Hundred degree temperatures.

00:17:47.780 Dozens and dozens of people in it.

00:17:49.360 Yeah.

00:17:49.880 And over a hundred.

00:17:51.000 Well, that's what we're just, I mean, they showed, the footage was showing cars coming earlier and picking up some humans and driving away.

00:17:59.340 Yeah.

00:17:59.540 So then we had the nine now dead and the 17 or so in the hospital.

00:18:05.640 And I think they had others that they picked up that were not in the hospital.

00:18:10.260 So, I mean, we're just guessing, right?

00:18:11.780 There was 40 or 50 that we have right now.

00:18:13.740 Probably more.

00:18:15.240 You know, for sure more, but we just don't know how many.

00:18:17.500 And to me, it's not even.

00:18:20.200 No water provided.

00:18:21.140 Yeah.

00:18:21.300 Nothing.

00:18:21.740 No air conditioning.

00:18:22.620 That's how they found out.

00:18:23.860 Yeah.

00:18:24.020 Right.

00:18:24.220 The guy came into the Walmart.

00:18:26.020 Looking for water.

00:18:26.880 And asking for water.

00:18:27.760 And the employee saw that he was close to, you know.

00:18:31.200 And he called the police.

00:18:32.280 Dead.

00:18:32.660 Yeah.

00:18:33.200 Yeah.

00:18:34.460 I mean.

00:18:35.140 Horrible.

00:18:37.140 He's going.

00:18:37.820 They're going.

00:18:38.300 The truck driver is going.

00:18:39.580 Supposed to go in front of the judge today.

00:18:40.980 Here in Texas, right?

00:18:42.100 Yes. 0.98

00:18:43.260 Hope he's got a hanging judge. 0.99

00:18:45.220 Hope he's got a good old Texan. 0.95

00:18:47.800 That will teach him a thing or two about the taking life lightly.

00:18:56.540 Remember, though, the caring side of this argument is to let this continue.

00:19:00.740 It's not to fight and secure the border.

00:19:03.180 The caring part of this argument is to allow this to continue as a process that's been going on for how many years?

00:19:09.740 Either that or to just open the border wide because they're calling this death by policy.

00:19:15.240 I mean. 0.97

00:19:15.820 That's ridiculous. 0.97

00:19:16.380 So here's the thing. 0.99

00:19:17.420 Such insanity.

00:19:18.240 So here's the thing.

00:19:20.300 We have to decide.

00:19:23.500 That's the real problem here is that we are playing the middle ground.

00:19:27.180 We either decide this is wrong.

00:19:31.040 Either we have a border and enforce it or we don't.

00:19:33.400 Or we don't.

00:19:34.500 Which is it?

00:19:34.860 But you have to decide.

00:19:37.520 This sanctuary city thing is a lure and brings lots of money into people who will do this kind of thing with an empty semi.

00:19:48.780 So which is it?

00:19:50.040 So which is it going to be?

00:19:51.380 Are we going to incentivize those people which will lead to more death and destruction?

00:19:57.260 Or are we going to say we have a border?

00:20:00.640 Take it seriously.

00:20:03.040 Personally, for the driver of this truck who knew and allowed these people to die.

00:20:08.400 Texas death penalty should be coming his way.

00:20:12.320 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:18.500 Mercury.

00:20:22.720 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:25.560 America.

00:20:26.360 Welcome to the program.

00:20:27.660 There's a couple of things going on.

00:20:29.660 First of all, Charlie Gard's parents have said that time has now run out for their child.

00:20:37.740 And they have withdrawn their request to continue to fight on for the child.

00:20:45.060 It must be that, I'm guessing, it must be that the doctors came back and said nothing.

00:20:57.460 Worth it?

00:20:58.020 You know, I don't think not worth it.

00:20:59.940 Probably it's too late.

00:21:01.960 Yeah, that could help.

00:21:03.260 Because of the way it was phrased, that the time has run out.

00:21:08.340 I can't imagine giving up.

00:21:12.000 But if the doctors are saying there is no treatment and nothing that can be done,

00:21:22.140 removing a ventilator, that is a medical procedure.

00:21:26.640 That is not food and water.

00:21:30.080 That is allowing a child to die a natural death.

00:21:34.720 A ventilator is medical treatment where food and water is not.

00:21:40.200 Yeah, it's interesting.

00:21:43.880 I mean, I think you're right.

00:21:44.840 It's probably related to a downturn in their optimism as far as this goes.

00:21:50.760 Because, I mean, they went through 11 months of this.

00:21:52.760 And the hearings were supposed to be today and tomorrow.

00:21:55.280 Like, why would you go through 11 months and then be like,

00:21:57.420 all right, well, not two more days?

00:21:59.340 Well, probably because the hearings, the doctors probably came back and said,

00:22:03.280 there's nothing we can do.

00:22:04.360 Right.

00:22:04.560 Like, they may have lost the support of the doctors who believed there was hope.

00:22:08.860 Correct.

00:22:09.420 And at that point, maybe you don't go forward.

00:22:11.680 What do you do?

00:22:12.500 The only reason why you would do it is because you would want your son to,

00:22:19.780 you would want somebody else not to have to go through what you just went through.

00:22:25.020 Yeah.

00:22:25.560 You know, if you could break the back and say,

00:22:28.700 I don't care what the doctors say.

00:22:30.540 We have a right to take our son anywhere.

00:22:35.100 We have a right to do that.

00:22:38.600 You know, it might be worth the extra two days to try to win that battle.

00:22:43.800 But honestly, you know, these parents have been through hell.

00:22:47.480 And just thinking of their child, if there is no hope and they're not going to starve the baby to death,

00:22:58.540 they're not going to do that, right?

00:23:00.880 They're just removing the ventilator.

00:23:02.300 Yeah.

00:23:02.440 The reporting is that they're going to remove the ventilator and it will allow him to, quote, slip away.

00:23:06.780 Yeah.

00:23:07.140 This is terrible.

00:23:08.600 So sad.

00:23:09.540 It's hard to even put yourself in the position of these parents.

00:23:12.360 And, you know, they have done quite a bit to alert people about battles like this that do happen all around the world.

00:23:18.360 But, you know, I mean, this is obviously not the ending that you would hope for.

00:23:22.180 They said that instead that it's going to be a short hearing today and I guess it can happen anytime.

00:23:27.200 So.

00:23:28.580 Okay.

00:23:28.940 So Jared Kushner, here's some new news, confirmed four contacts with Russians during his father-in-law's presidential campaign

00:23:39.200 and the tradition.

00:23:41.080 But he has now described the meetings as unmemorable and denied colluding with the Russian government to help Donald Trump win.

00:23:49.140 In the most consequential meeting, Kushner said he had agreed to meet with a Russian banker at the request of the Russian ambassador.

00:23:57.740 He said that nothing of substance came from the meeting and he had no reason to connect with him since.

00:24:03.840 So why wouldn't you disclose this?

00:24:06.140 Is this newly disclosed?

00:24:07.780 Because he had disclosed previous meetings with, I mean, you know, unlike some other people in the administration,

00:24:14.500 he is like an international businessman type.

00:24:17.060 No, I know that.

00:24:17.860 But he's, but he, but we have been, we've asked this over and over and over again.

00:24:22.540 Just get it all out.

00:24:23.720 Now, every time we have to know what the meetings were, if you would have just gotten them all out and not,

00:24:30.660 hey, here's the problem, you look so guilty, I'm not saying you are, you look so guilty by saying,

00:24:39.880 we never met with anyone.

00:24:42.540 Okay, the Russian ambassador did ask that I would meet with this banker over there.

00:24:49.080 Well, you were at the same time saying that you had no business dealings over there.

00:24:53.040 So, I mean, was it business?

00:24:56.240 Was it a possible collusion?

00:24:59.040 Was it about getting deals done for the Russians?

00:25:02.580 So the sanctions?

00:25:04.260 We don't know.

00:25:05.820 And nobody has any credit.

00:25:07.240 The press doesn't have any credibility.

00:25:09.300 Kushner doesn't have any credibility.

00:25:11.300 So we don't know.

00:25:12.460 Yeah, I read somewhere this morning that this Kushner's statement is a perfectly plausible series of events.

00:25:18.860 It just should have been released a long time ago, which, I know, I mean, is a legitimate issue that everybody in the White House seems to have.

00:25:26.820 I mean, obviously, the Don Jr. thing is the one that pops to mind more than anything.

00:25:30.960 You know, look, I heard a congressman on, I think it was CNN earlier, talking about how, like, you know, this collusion, this idea of collusion,

00:25:39.980 it's just absurd and blah, blah, blah.

00:25:41.900 It's like, well, look, we have no evidence that any collusion actually happened.

00:25:45.940 But we do absolutely have evidence from Donald Jr. releasing his own email that he wanted it to happen.

00:25:52.000 Yes.

00:25:52.240 Now, he may have failed at it.

00:25:53.580 It may have turned into nothing.

00:25:55.140 Those are all understandable things that should be parsed and are important in the investigation.

00:25:59.120 But as K.M. said, being incompetent and collusion is no excuse.

00:26:03.320 Right. 0.98

00:26:03.800 You're trying to collude and you're just bad at it.

00:26:06.760 That doesn't help.

00:26:07.880 Going to buy heroin.

00:26:10.680 We're trying to.

00:26:12.160 Charles Krauthammer, for those of you not in the know. 0.78

00:26:14.480 So, you know, going to a hooker and exchanging money with a hooker who ends up being a cop. 0.67

00:26:25.700 Well, I didn't do anything. 0.65

00:26:27.020 You weren't a hooker. 1.00

00:26:28.220 Well, but yeah, but that's what you were coming for. 0.82

00:26:30.860 That's what you were.

00:26:31.720 Yeah, but I didn't I didn't complete the transaction because I didn't get my part of it.

00:26:36.240 Well, wait.

00:26:37.500 This is the argument of everybody who's been on to catch a predator.

00:26:40.380 Yes.

00:26:40.660 Right. 0.84

00:26:40.800 Like, well, you didn't actually have sex with a 13 year old. 0.85

00:26:43.600 Right.

00:26:43.820 Well, but we have 500 emails of you talking about how you wanted to have sex and you went to the house to meet.

00:26:48.100 I mean, I mean, it's not again.

00:26:49.600 It's not it.

00:26:50.480 It doesn't prove that anything happened by any means.

00:26:54.400 But, you know, to call the idea that they would be interested in this absurd when the source is Donald Trump Jr.'s own emails that he released is kind of a stretch here.

00:27:06.120 Yeah.

00:27:06.240 There's obviously something here.

00:27:07.700 The question is, what level does it rise to?

00:27:10.200 And I think, you know, it very well may be nothing.

00:27:12.740 It does not help their case that it's nothing when these things start keep dripping out over a long period of time.

00:27:18.140 Just get it all out there.

00:27:19.240 Just get it all out.

00:27:20.240 It would be helpful to them at this point.

00:27:21.780 I don't know.

00:27:22.400 And it would be helpful to the president's agenda.

00:27:23.600 It would be helpful to, you know, to every principle that they're trying to advance.

00:27:27.740 Yes.

00:27:27.900 Yes.

00:27:27.980 Getting these things out of the way.

00:27:29.940 Yes.

00:27:30.420 Would be helpful.

00:27:31.860 It's just having the president come out and say, look, I'm not going to stand away of an investigation.

00:27:37.380 It's got to be a fair investigation, but I'm not going to stand away of an investigation.

00:27:41.840 And, you know, did my son make mistakes?

00:27:45.040 Yeah.

00:27:46.020 But stop defending things that just don't look good.

00:27:50.420 You can say, look, you know the biggest mistake?

00:27:53.220 He forgot about it.

00:27:54.300 His biggest mistake is he didn't bring it to me.

00:27:56.880 His biggest mistake, whatever it is.

00:27:58.600 But, you know, there wasn't any collusion, yada, yada, yada.

00:28:03.900 But what you can't do is say, I'm going to pardon my children while saying no crime was committed.

00:28:12.900 Why would you be looking to pardoning people if there was no crime?

00:28:18.180 Now, I understand that the, you know, the Trump camp is saying he's just looking into it so he knows his options.

00:28:25.480 But you can't say, you know, that you can pardon somebody if there was no crime.

00:28:32.420 Second of all, the idea that the left is clean on this is absurd.

00:28:42.920 Hillary Clinton, we now know, was doing exactly the same thing.

00:28:47.200 Trying to meet with the Russians to get information on Donald Trump.

00:28:51.640 Trying to meet, I mean, they were luring both of them in.

00:28:56.040 And we didn't like it then.

00:28:57.380 And we don't like it now.

00:28:58.280 Right.

00:28:58.520 You can't shout, what was it, jailer or lock her up.

00:29:02.060 Lock her up. 0.91

00:29:02.460 You can't chant, lock her up, lock her up. 0.91

00:29:05.900 Or in this case now, saying, look at what she did.

00:29:09.880 She was trying to collude.

00:29:11.640 That was against the law.

00:29:13.460 She's a lawbreaker. 1.00

00:29:15.780 And hers didn't work out either.

00:29:18.080 The reason you don't vote for Hillary Clinton is because you want better than Hillary Clinton.

00:29:21.980 Correct.

00:29:22.540 So therefore, you should expect more than Hillary Clinton.

00:29:25.500 Yes.

00:29:25.880 And, you know, we don't know the answer to these things yet.

00:29:28.160 We don't know how this thing ends up.

00:29:29.660 And it doesn't affect any of our lives today.

00:29:34.840 What does affect our life is Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan.

00:29:40.840 They actually can affect your life.

00:29:43.160 You need relief.

00:29:44.680 You need tax relief.

00:29:46.060 You need health care relief.

00:29:49.440 You need insurance reform.

00:29:52.980 Okay.

00:29:54.060 How do we reform insurance?

00:29:55.880 We get the government out of the way.

00:29:59.620 And we let the free market work.

00:30:03.960 How do we get tax cuts?

00:30:05.540 You get Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell out of the way.

00:30:09.920 You call every congressman and every senator you can and demand that those guys are removed or real tax cuts for all Americans.

00:30:22.340 All Americans happen.

00:30:24.900 A reduction of spending and real tax cuts.

00:30:28.880 It's really important now, too, because Schumer and the Democrats are stepping up and trying to fill this void.

00:30:33.400 But did you hear the things he was saying yesterday on, I don't know, one of those Sunday shows?

00:30:39.660 No.

00:30:40.960 Listen to this.

00:30:42.260 Number one, we're going to go after the drug companies.

00:30:45.020 We will create a special, special office.

00:30:48.760 They're going to create a special, special office.

00:30:51.100 So we have a special, special door?

00:30:53.220 He didn't say.

00:30:54.260 He didn't say.

00:30:54.960 We don't know.

00:30:55.520 If we could get the special door with the special, special office, we've got quite something to talk about.

00:31:01.220 That will just go after these drug companies when they raise prices so egregiously and people can't afford these drugs.

00:31:09.640 We're going to change the way companies can merge.

00:31:12.660 We have these huge companies buying up other big companies.

00:31:16.260 It hurts workers and it hurts prices.

00:31:18.660 The old Adam Smith idea of competition, it's gone.

00:31:22.460 So people hate it when their cable bills go up there.

00:31:23.100 Oh, please don't talk to me about Adam Smith or competition.

00:31:26.460 Oh, I don't think I can take the Democrats talking about Adam Smith and competition.

00:31:30.340 Because they just cherish Adam Smith's writings oh so much.

00:31:35.660 Oh, my gosh.

00:31:36.560 I'm pretty sure Adam Smith was open to the idea of companies being able to do what they want, including going into business with other companies, which would be mergers.

00:31:43.960 They know that gas prices are sticky, you know, when the domestic price goes, when the price for oil goes up on the markets, it goes right up, but it never goes down.

00:31:54.240 Okay, it never goes down.

00:31:56.900 It's under $2 a gallon now in most places in the country.

00:32:01.320 It was what?

00:32:02.260 This morning I stopped at the gas tank.

00:32:03.840 I think it was $1.87.

00:32:06.420 Oh, really?

00:32:06.900 Yeah.

00:32:07.260 Maybe.

00:32:07.720 I paid like $1.92 this weekend.

00:32:09.400 But it's under $2.

00:32:10.380 Pretty amazing.

00:32:11.260 Did we let Exxon and Mobile merge?

00:32:13.220 And that way, you know, inflation, we're going to go after that.

00:32:15.780 And that will help the average person lower their costs.

00:32:18.400 And finally, we're going to have tomorrow a very novel idea of how to create 10 million jobs.

00:32:23.880 There are 10 million Americans looking for good-paying jobs.

00:32:26.820 We're going to show them how to find them.

00:32:28.460 And that's just the beginning.

00:32:30.240 Week after week, month after month, we're going to roll out specific pieces here that are quite different than the Democratic Party you heard in the past.

00:32:37.160 If we were too cautious, we were too namby-pamby, this is sharp, bold, and will appeal to both the old Obama coalition, let's say the young lady who's just getting out of college, and the Democratic voters who deserted us for Trump.

00:32:54.080 So, in other words, this is going to appeal to not just the communists, but the socialists as well.

00:33:01.060 We're very excited about this bold new plan.

00:33:04.040 Pretty broad there.

00:33:04.700 The ones who said, Bernie Sanders, no, I can't do Hillary, so I'll do Trump.

00:33:12.580 They're going to welcome them back.

00:33:14.300 Right.

00:33:15.140 And they're going to get the communists as well.

00:33:20.560 That's beautiful.

00:33:21.220 It's great.

00:33:22.060 And he kind of went into, too, in that interview about how it really was, they think, their fault.

00:33:26.320 Yeah.

00:33:26.660 They at least are taking responsibility of, like, how do we lose to someone with a 40% approval rating? 0.93

00:33:32.780 Well, it's because we sucked.

00:33:34.000 It's going to work. 0.98

00:33:35.740 That strategy.

00:33:36.640 That's what I'm afraid.

00:33:37.440 That strategy will work.

00:33:38.740 They're calling it bold.

00:33:39.740 They're calling it, you know.

00:33:40.960 Yep.

00:33:41.380 And what do the Republicans have?

00:33:42.960 They're in charge.

00:33:43.840 They've got nothing.

00:33:45.100 Nothing.

00:33:45.740 You come up with a bold tax plan, you will have all pieces of the right.

00:33:52.900 And those people in the middle and the, you know, libertarians come to the table as well.

00:34:04.640 The independents will come to the table with a bold tax plan that frees companies and frees people up and gives the average person more money back to them, gives them their money, not somebody else's money, their money back.

00:34:20.540 Yeah, you will have a bold plan and you can win.

00:34:24.880 You want the Russia thing off the paper. 0.95

00:34:26.700 Do that.

00:34:27.340 Annoy them.

00:34:28.200 Annoy them with how bold your tax plan is.

00:34:30.240 Yep. 0.95

00:34:30.600 Go crazy.

00:35:38.020 Oh, golly.

00:35:40.880 Should we try to take the 1922 college entrance exam?

00:35:47.000 No.

00:35:48.020 No, I don't think we should.

00:35:49.340 I mean, we're all pretty smart.

00:35:50.840 We're, you know, I think we're...

00:35:51.940 All of us together?

00:35:53.020 Yeah, all of us together.

00:35:54.120 I mean, together, we are probably smarter than the average one quarter of a person.

00:36:02.140 That's not saying a lot.

00:36:04.020 It is.

00:36:04.540 Don't think that through.

00:36:06.460 The course, the test, I'll bet you four questions.

00:36:13.820 Can't get through four questions.

00:36:16.280 I'm sure you're right.

00:36:17.440 Where are you seeing this?

00:36:18.220 There's no question.

00:36:18.800 None of your business.

00:36:20.100 Where are you seeing this?

00:36:20.960 So I can Google it and look it up and see the answers.

00:36:23.720 No, do not.

00:36:24.580 Close your computer.

00:36:25.720 Nope.

00:36:26.020 No, stop it.

00:36:26.760 Right now.

00:36:28.580 I'm going to give it to you next hour.

00:36:30.720 Going to give it to you next hour.

00:36:31.760 Don't look it up.

00:36:32.800 Don't look it up.

00:36:33.940 Don't do it.

00:36:35.540 I'll just change the test because there's lots of them out there.

00:36:38.480 So Google all you want.

00:36:40.800 I don't need to Google.

00:36:43.180 I'm too smart for Google.

00:36:44.920 I can process millions of things and find exactly what I'm looking for on the web just

00:36:49.360 by typing the exact address in, including the HTTP part.

00:36:53.340 Let me also take you through a lesson of what the media really is like and ask you some

00:37:03.900 tough questions about the media and ourselves when we come back.

00:37:13.700 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:17.960 Mercury.

00:37:23.340 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:37:37.100 On demand.

00:37:40.520 I love this story.

00:37:42.200 Israel refuses to remove metal detectors from mosques despite rising violence.

00:37:53.340 Well, why would you remove?

00:37:56.300 It should be despite a lack of violence, despite a lack of problems.

00:38:02.260 Then maybe you talk about removing the metal detectors.

00:38:05.820 It's a rise in violence.

00:38:07.980 You don't take away the things that help you stop that violence.

00:38:13.440 But maybe it's just me.

00:38:15.160 I'm not looking for wormholes anymore.

00:38:16.780 I know I slip through a wormhole and I'm in some sort of an America that looks like the 1.00

00:38:23.140 one I grew up in, but has, come on, has absolutely nothing to do with the America that you and

00:38:32.140 I grew up in or the world.

00:38:34.360 At least math makes sense, right?

00:38:36.680 I mean, at least they're not teaching our kids that two plus two equals five sometimes, if you could explain it.

00:38:44.400 All right.

00:38:47.880 We're going to bring in someplace else right now.

00:38:50.100 I will make a stand.

00:38:54.160 I will raise my voice.

00:38:56.360 I will hold your hand.

00:38:58.760 Because we are one.

00:39:00.560 I will be my drum.

00:39:02.800 I have made my choice.

00:39:05.060 We will overcome.

00:39:07.360 Because we are one.

00:39:09.100 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:39:13.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:17.360 Stu, start with just the facts.

00:39:20.160 No speculation.

00:39:22.000 Just the facts on what is happening with our attorney general right now.

00:39:27.060 Donald Trump is rumored to be letting him go or he's leaving the administration

00:39:35.840 because of...

00:39:38.840 Well, this is not speculation.

00:39:40.600 Donald Trump did not like the fact that Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation.

00:39:46.020 He wanted an ally there and instead now has, obviously, the Mueller investigation going on.

00:39:53.500 And his belief is that if Sessions didn't recuse himself, he wouldn't be dealing with this.

00:39:57.240 Okay.

00:39:57.580 Well, but give me the facts.

00:40:00.160 Sessions, when he took the job, there wasn't this talk of Russia.

00:40:05.460 So he couldn't have said, hey, by the way, I'm out on that Russia thing.

00:40:08.600 Right.

00:40:08.840 The timeline, he wouldn't be able to tell.

00:40:11.840 Trump's hope in that New York Times interview was to say, look, if he wanted to recuse himself, fine.

00:40:18.440 But tell me before I hire you so I can hire somebody else.

00:40:20.900 But the timeline doesn't work out for that.

00:40:22.620 He wouldn't have known about this yet.

00:40:24.680 And then, you know, today, Trump tweeted, called Sessions the beleaguered attorney general.

00:40:33.300 And the idea...

00:40:34.400 Why would you call him beleaguered?

00:40:35.760 Why would you call your own guy beleaguered?

00:40:37.820 Well, the answer is that he didn't...

00:40:39.740 He's not investigating the Clintons.

00:40:41.980 Which is interesting because Trump, of course, himself has said that he made the decision to not investigate the Clintons upon becoming president.

00:40:49.800 Because, you know, they've gone through...

00:40:52.320 They've taken their beating, essentially.

00:40:54.080 Like, we don't need to bother with that.

00:40:55.460 I mean, he said that right after he won.

00:40:57.340 And so unless...

00:40:58.040 And it being magnanimous.

00:40:59.880 Right.

00:41:00.080 Yeah.

00:41:00.360 It was like, you know, like, we don't need to beat these poor people up anymore. 0.99

00:41:03.440 That was kind of Trump's take on it.

00:41:05.380 So now he's saying that...

00:41:07.080 Now he's blaming this on...

00:41:07.920 Sessions should be going after him.

00:41:08.820 And he's blaming that policy on Sessions.

00:41:10.900 On Sessions.

00:41:11.380 So the speculation is, now we're crossing the line of speculation, that the Bannon, Sessions...

00:41:19.860 Priebus.

00:41:20.520 Priebus group, which is one side of the sort of warring factions inside the White House...

00:41:25.840 Do you know what side that is?

00:41:27.500 What side is that?

00:41:29.340 Well, I mean, Bannon and Priebus...

00:41:32.220 Sessions made an alliance very early.

00:41:35.380 Sessions was the first senator to endorse Donald Trump.

00:41:38.760 At the time, said to Bannon, reportedly, that he knew it was the end of his career if Trump didn't win.

00:41:45.920 I mean, Sessions went out on a big limb.

00:41:49.300 And the idea was, Bannon had wanted Sessions to run for president, which Sessions turned down.

00:41:57.040 But they wanted someone to essentially work and do this nationalist, strong border, strong on crime.

00:42:02.600 This sort of nationalist philosophy that Bannon holds dear.

00:42:06.760 So to Sessions, and they wanted someone to run for president under that platform.

00:42:11.320 They initially wanted Sessions.

00:42:12.900 Sessions turned that down.

00:42:14.280 And then they decided to go to Trump.

00:42:16.540 Bannon went to Trump and said...

00:42:18.300 Or, excuse me, Bannon went to Sessions and said, look, our guy's here.

00:42:21.800 He will do this.

00:42:22.860 He will go with this philosophy.

00:42:24.860 You need to support him.

00:42:25.700 We need your support right now to make this happen and lock it in.

00:42:28.460 And Sessions, still skeptical that Trump would win, was nervous about this, but wound up going in on the promise and supported him.

00:42:36.600 And it was the day after, I believe, Christie endorsed.

00:42:40.680 And the Christie-Sessions thing really, you could argue, put them over the top with those two big endorsements at that time.

00:42:45.320 I think so.

00:42:46.460 Sessions really hurt with conservatives.

00:42:48.780 Yeah, it really, yeah, it helps Trump a lot.

00:42:51.980 A lot.

00:42:52.360 And, you know, again, we talk about loyalty a lot with Donald Trump.

00:42:56.140 And it's, you know, he talks about how loyal he is to everyone.

00:42:59.680 It's interesting in that, like, Sessions, you could argue, was the guy.

00:43:03.940 Sessions was there from the beginning.

00:43:05.040 And he did get rewarded with a spot in the administration.

00:43:08.620 However...

00:43:09.000 Yeah, but if he leaves now...

00:43:10.080 Six months in, I mean...

00:43:11.140 He's given up his entire life work...

00:43:15.140 In the Senate.

00:43:16.000 In the Senate.

00:43:16.880 He's given up any...

00:43:18.060 He has no chance of doing anything.

00:43:20.180 And he hasn't accomplished anything.

00:43:23.080 Now they're talking...

00:43:24.240 Now this, again, is speculation.

00:43:25.220 They're now talking about Rudy Giuliani coming in and being the head of justice.

00:43:32.580 Which, you know, Rudy Giuliani is a great prosecutor.

00:43:36.140 But is he going to be an Eric Holder kind of guy?

00:43:46.480 Or is he going to be a guy who sees justice and says we're going for justice no matter where it leads?

00:43:52.180 It's interesting in that the one differentiating part there between Giuliani and Sessions...

00:43:57.320 Because they're both known as being tough on crime.

00:43:59.900 They're both known as that.

00:44:01.720 But Sessions is known for the border stuff where Giuliani is not.

00:44:05.640 So if you're rooting for a wall, you might not like that switch so much.

00:44:09.580 Yeah, because Giuliani is much more of an open borders kind of guy.

00:44:17.200 That was one of the big complaints about him back when he was running for president.

00:44:19.980 Now he may very well still just...

00:44:21.620 He's not a sanctuary city guy though, is he?

00:44:24.720 I don't know.

00:44:26.120 He's pretty bad on immigration.

00:44:27.540 He might be.

00:44:28.000 Pretty bad. 1.00

00:44:28.920 That's got to kill. 0.98

00:44:30.200 If Sessions would be replaced by Giuliani, that'll kill Jeff Sessions. 0.95

00:44:35.340 He'd just be like, what have I done?

00:44:37.220 But a lot of these people in the administration had differing viewpoints with Trump before they got in it.

00:44:42.000 And they're able to do their jobs and support his agenda, right?

00:44:44.760 I mean, there's a lot of that going on.

00:44:46.840 So it's not to say that Giuliani would change.

00:44:49.800 It's just...

00:44:50.380 If it's not your passion point...

00:44:51.980 Or Sessions, it's been his passion point for a long time.

00:44:55.020 So you know he's trying to do everything he can to get that done.

00:44:57.940 Or if it's not the number one priority for Giuliani, it might not be as effective.

00:45:03.460 So if Trump would fire Jeff Sessions because of the Russia thing, do you have a problem with that?

00:45:15.600 I'm asking you here and in the audience too.

00:45:19.060 Do you have a problem with that?

00:45:20.060 That there's an investigation.

00:45:22.900 I'm trying to find out if there's any threshold of stopping.

00:45:26.260 If he fires the Attorney General because he wants him involved in the investigation.

00:45:32.200 If he fires the special prosecutor.

00:45:36.760 Or if he starts to pardon people.

00:45:41.500 Is there a problem?

00:45:42.620 Because I think those are stepping across lines.

00:45:49.300 Sessions is probably the least of my concern.

00:45:52.340 Yeah, because Sessions absolutely serves at the pleasure of the President.

00:45:56.720 And isn't in the middle of an investigation against the President.

00:46:00.260 So if he wants to move on from Sessions to Giuliani, I think that's essentially his call.

00:46:04.820 I agree.

00:46:05.960 You might not like the reasoning for it.

00:46:09.320 But really that's totally him doing whatever he wants.

00:46:11.540 The optics are bad too.

00:46:13.100 Yeah, the optics are bad.

00:46:14.360 It's going to be, it'll be another beating for him.

00:46:16.880 But it's him firing an ally though.

00:46:18.760 It's a different type of, like it's not good in that like you figure he probably shouldn't

00:46:23.300 have hired the guy if he didn't want him for longer than six months.

00:46:25.520 Yeah.

00:46:25.860 I mean, like I read a story today that actually said,

00:46:28.180 uh, Priebus is looking like he's on his way out.

00:46:32.120 However, Priebus hopes to make it to the end of the year.

00:46:35.120 Like that was his like upside.

00:46:36.940 He was hoping to make it to the end of the year.

00:46:39.280 It's just not.

00:46:40.120 The loyalty here is very low.

00:46:43.580 I mean, when you look at Jeff Sessions, he was loyal to Donald Trump all the way and

00:46:51.720 really risked a lot for Donald Trump.

00:46:56.000 And you know, it's, I read something about Bannon wanting to take on Kushner early on. 1.00

00:47:01.960 And I'm like, you're a fool, man. 0.99

00:47:04.340 That, I mean, that's family 101. 1.00

00:47:07.940 You think he's going to believe you over family?

00:47:11.340 He's going to choose you over family?

00:47:13.440 No, nobody would do that unless the family is really wrong.

00:47:18.060 But Kushner's pretty smart.

00:47:20.340 He's really smart.

00:47:21.680 Um, I mean, that's just, that's just Russian roulette that you're playing.

00:47:26.940 But, but Sessions is not, is, have you heard Sessions in the anti-Kushner clan?

00:47:33.280 You know, the way it's presented in the media.

00:47:36.820 And you never know from these internal circles, but that there are essentially, there's been

00:47:40.600 three groups and they say three and three B is another one, but you've got the Kushner 0.56

00:47:45.460 side.

00:47:46.180 You've got the, which is, they call it the New York group.

00:47:49.000 The, uh, the Bannon side, which is sort of that, you know, you know, we're the Bannon

00:47:53.220 side nationalist, the nationalist front.

00:47:55.160 And then you have the, uh, um, the establishment Washington type people who have been there and

00:48:01.640 have joined the crusade as well.

00:48:03.780 And then you kind of, Pence is the only one that I've ever seen separated out of those

00:48:07.160 three groups, which is kind of, he's there doing his own thing and has been very loyal

00:48:10.400 to the president.

00:48:10.960 But of course we all know believes kind of different things than the president, but it supported

00:48:15.140 his agenda without fail, even behind closed doors, reportedly.

00:48:17.980 The issue with, uh, with those three groups though, is the Washington one has kind of,

00:48:23.200 I mean, you look at that group, you have previous, which kind of folded, it has folded in with

00:48:26.920 the Bannon side.

00:48:27.760 You have Spicer who's now gone.

00:48:30.080 Um, so that, that group seems to have lost, uh, power and it becomes the Bannon versus the

00:48:36.260 Kushner group.

00:48:37.040 And in that group so far, Kushner is when you imagine, I don't care who is in charge.

00:48:41.800 I don't care who the president is.

00:48:43.300 You imagine working in a building like the white house where you think your office 1.00

00:48:47.700 politics suck. 0.99

00:48:48.840 Oh my gosh. 1.00

00:48:49.560 Can you even imagine what that is like?

00:48:53.500 No way.

00:48:55.560 That's brutal.

00:48:56.160 No way.

00:48:57.040 People are jockeying now where they are bringing the president, you know, tweets and things that

00:49:03.760 they think that they think he'll like, um, because they're jockeying for position and others

00:49:11.100 are like, don't bring that to the president.

00:49:12.780 Cause he'll respond to that.

00:49:14.320 And that will cause more problems, blah, blah, blah.

00:49:17.140 You imagine the weasels that are at that level.

00:49:21.160 Yeah.

00:49:21.260 The standard way it's reported is, oh, Donald Trump is sitting around obsessing about these

00:49:25.720 television shows and something happens on Fox and friends or morning Joe.

00:49:29.200 And 10 minutes later, he's tweeting the exact same thing that may happen.

00:49:32.880 Sometimes we do know that he likes watching shows.

00:49:35.200 However, the, you know, the, the reporting from inside the white house is that there are

00:49:39.980 people who know to get on Don's good side, you bring them the good juicy stuff from the

00:49:45.300 shows.

00:49:45.720 So he, even when he doesn't see it, there are people there egging him on and they bring

00:49:50.260 the worst part of morning Joe or the worst part or the, you know, the part on Fox and

00:49:54.340 friends that has the, you know, the, whatever's going to excite him or ignite him.

00:49:59.020 One of the two.

00:49:59.760 So then he tweets about it, which in a way is worse because he hasn't even seen it for

00:50:02.880 himself.

00:50:03.600 Right.

00:50:03.940 And so he's kind of tweeting on someone else's word, but then he gets excited about it,

00:50:07.960 tweets about it.

00:50:08.520 And that's what starts these firestorms.

00:50:10.280 But again, from an internal, well, it doesn't sound sensible if you're trying to make the

00:50:14.320 best thing for the, for the administration, but from the inside, if, if the president is

00:50:20.080 happy with you, you're going to continue, you're, you're incentivized to continue to

00:50:23.620 do those sorts of things.

00:50:24.400 Oh my gosh.

00:50:25.180 It's tough.

00:50:25.780 I mean, I can't imagine that world watching.

00:50:28.020 I mean, really, is it, is it any different than game of Thrones?

00:50:31.140 I mean, other than, you know.

00:50:32.880 Slightly less sex and violence, but a lot less sex and violence, but I mean, unless

00:50:36.940 it's a Clinton administration, but I mean, it's this game of Thrones.

00:50:41.440 Nothing much has changed.

00:50:42.440 We just put suits and ties on.

00:50:44.600 And now this, the USCCA knows that in today's unpredictable world, self-defense is more of

00:50:50.240 a necessity than ever before.

00:50:51.820 And fortunately, you're not alone at the first and largest organization dedicated to protect

00:50:57.960 protecting responsible gun owners before, during, and after a self-defense incident.

00:51:05.520 You can rest assured knowing that the USCCA has your, has your back.

00:51:12.400 Listen, here's, here's the thing.

00:51:13.720 We prepare the minute we think, are we, should I own a gun?

00:51:19.460 You start to prepare and you prepare for that moment of being ready to be able to shoot.

00:51:28.180 But that's where our preparation stops.

00:51:30.840 We have to prepare for what happens the moment after the shooting.

00:51:38.000 God forbid any of us ever have to pull our gun, let alone use it.

00:51:42.320 But if you do, who's protecting you?

00:51:45.680 The bad guy?

00:51:47.640 The guy who is threatening you, your family?

00:51:51.360 That guy, he may be gone, but he's replaced with another guy.

00:51:55.940 Another bad guy, another bad guy, this bad guy comes with a suit and a briefcase and possibly

00:52:02.440 threatens you with jail time.

00:52:05.260 And your life for the next three years is going to be upside down.

00:52:08.260 No matter if justified or not, it's upside down.

00:52:11.880 Who is paying for that?

00:52:15.040 Who's counseling you and protecting you?

00:52:17.900 Go to protectanddefend.com right now.

00:52:38.400 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:41.980 Mercury.

00:52:45.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:49.320 There's a couple of things that you should be aware of.

00:52:52.580 The Swedish alt-right, the Swedish Nazis, if you will, trained in Russia.

00:53:03.640 They were taken to Russia.

00:53:06.680 And Russia, paramilitary people, who are training and learning how to turn the Ukraine,

00:53:14.600 are now starting to take people in from all over Europe, including these Nazis now in Sweden,

00:53:24.160 and training them on how to be terrorists.

00:53:29.040 And they are now starting to blow things up in Sweden, in Gothenburg, Sweden.

00:53:33.520 And these Nazis had taken an asylum camp, if you will, and blown it up.

00:53:44.520 Bad.

00:53:45.080 So, another reason why not to trust Russia, they are siding with all of the worst players 0.77

00:53:52.900 and characters on the planet.

00:53:55.560 Then there's this.

00:53:56.640 Pentagon is developing something with DARPA, developing technology that allows the next

00:54:01.660 generation of soldiers to fire their weapons with their mines.

00:54:05.000 They believe that mind-technology relationship that underpins the use of artificial limbs might

00:54:12.360 help human soldiers fire their guns quicker.

00:54:15.640 So, here's what it is.

00:54:19.140 The mind makes a decision, good guy, bad guy, fire the gun.

00:54:24.720 Mind makes a decision, brain puts it into action, sends the signal, squeeze the trigger.

00:54:29.380 They're saying that's not fast enough.

00:54:32.420 So, what they're trying to do is come up with artificial ways to read the mind and get,

00:54:42.000 fire the gun to the gun faster than your body can.

00:54:46.700 It's kind of like eliminating the check swing possibility, which seems like not necessarily

00:54:51.860 a positive.

00:54:52.680 You kind of want that half split second to be able to reconsider what you're doing in those

00:54:56.100 moments.

00:54:56.140 Yeah, I mean, we are really not.

00:54:57.400 I mean, how many times have you made a split second decision and it was wrong?

00:55:02.680 Think of this.

00:55:03.840 Cops have to make a split second decision.

00:55:08.100 How many times have they made a decision and went, stop?

00:55:12.500 How many times has that second killed them, but that second also saved them?

00:55:18.720 I would love to see the legal proceedings afterwards when the mind fires a bullet.

00:55:23.300 The cop says he didn't want to shoot.

00:55:24.520 The mind fires a bullet.

00:55:27.340 It winds up turning out wrong for whatever reason.

00:55:29.580 The person wasn't armed, whatever.

00:55:32.700 Lawsuits occur.

00:55:33.660 I didn't, I thought about it, but I didn't want to actually fire at that time.

00:55:37.500 I mean, how could you?

00:55:39.440 How are you even responsible?

00:55:41.100 Aren't you more machine?

00:55:43.800 Will we at least be dead of old age before this happens?

00:55:47.220 Oh my gosh.

00:55:47.960 I hope so.

00:55:48.500 Oh my gosh.

00:55:49.340 I mean, it's just like, I got kids. 1.00

00:55:50.920 Let them deal with this sort of crap. 0.99

00:55:52.020 Didn't we see where this road leads us in the documentary Robocop? 0.99

00:55:55.640 I mean, it seems pretty clear in that movie that it's problematic.

00:55:59.820 This is about a robotic police officer, correct?

00:56:01.720 Yes.

00:56:02.380 Yes.

00:56:03.380 And a great documentary.

00:56:04.440 I saw a preview for a new documentary called Blade Runner.

00:56:08.840 Oh yes.

00:56:09.400 Yeah, the new one.

00:56:10.020 Wow.

00:56:10.060 Does that look great?

00:56:10.980 Blade Runner 2049, I think it is.

00:56:12.780 Oh my gosh.

00:56:13.240 That looks so good.

00:56:14.660 That looks awesome.

00:56:15.620 Glenn, that's a movie.

00:56:16.480 It's not a documentary. 1.00

00:56:17.380 You moron. 1.00

00:56:18.200 Oh. 1.00

00:56:19.320 Ridiculous. 0.99

00:56:19.760 Oh my gosh. 0.96

00:56:20.240 I'm sorry.

00:56:20.740 I forgot.

00:56:21.120 But I am going to that documentary this weekend.

00:56:25.980 Nuclear Woman. 1.00

00:56:27.740 Oh, Nuclear Brunette. 1.00

00:56:29.700 It's called.

00:56:30.080 Yeah.

00:56:30.560 No, Atomic Blonde. 0.97

00:56:31.940 Yes, that's it.

00:56:32.720 That's what it is.

00:56:33.360 I can barely remember the name or the look of that blonde. 1.00

00:56:38.160 America's United in its support of Atomic Blonde this weekend.

00:56:41.580 We're all very excited about it.

00:56:43.940 I mean, just from a film, I'm just interested in the film.

00:56:46.620 As a filmmaker.

00:56:47.400 As a filmmaker.

00:56:47.800 I own my own studio.

00:56:49.080 As a filmmaker, I have movies I must see.

00:56:52.700 And this is one of them.

00:56:54.600 I am 100% on board.

00:56:58.520 You have your special theater for that one as well?

00:57:00.920 No, I'll take any theater.

00:57:02.200 I'll tell you.

00:57:02.780 I was on my special theater.

00:57:04.140 It was Stu's special theater, which I mocked before I saw Dunkirk in it.

00:57:08.360 If you're around an Atmos, a Dolby Atmos 70 millimeter screen, go see Dunkirk in that.

00:57:19.340 It's unbelievable.

00:57:21.200 Unbelievable.

00:57:21.840 Something tells me they're going to keep Dunkirk in those theaters this weekend and not put Atomic Blonde in them.

00:57:26.260 But that's the only reason I will not be seeing in the 70 millimeter theater this weekend.

00:57:30.140 Oh my gosh.

00:57:31.460 Ooh.

00:57:31.780 A terrible decision by them.

00:57:33.020 70 millimeter.

00:57:35.180 That particular atomic specimen.

00:57:38.220 Not the blonde. 1.00

00:57:38.740 I don't care about the blonde. 1.00

00:57:39.540 But that atomic specimen in a 70 millimeter.

00:57:42.120 Hadn't thought of that.

00:57:43.380 Yeah.

00:57:43.580 That's nice.

00:57:44.460 Yeah.

00:57:44.700 That's nice.

00:57:45.420 Yeah.

00:57:45.700 Okay.

00:57:46.600 All right.

00:57:46.960 Going to take a quick shower.

00:57:48.280 We'll come back in a minute.

00:57:49.340 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:55.420 Mercury.

00:57:59.220 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:58:01.680 888-727-BECK.

00:58:03.800 So when does, when does, um, uh, when does, I'm sorry, uh, Blade Runner come out?

00:58:14.680 I think October.

00:58:16.180 That looks so unbelievably good.

00:58:18.560 And Harrison Ford's in it.

00:58:19.840 At 89?

00:58:21.320 Early 90s?

00:58:21.980 No, come on. 0.85

00:58:22.380 No, seriously.

00:58:23.020 He's like 70, maybe?

00:58:25.720 No, he's way over 70.

00:58:27.080 Isn't he?

00:58:27.400 75?

00:58:28.560 Yeah, probably in there.

00:58:30.040 Between 70 and 75, I would say.

00:58:32.640 You know, I was thinking about Elton John this weekend.

00:58:35.020 I don't know why.

00:58:35.520 I was listening to Elton John's song.

00:58:37.040 And I thought, how old is he?

00:58:38.980 He's going to be probably the first guy to die a natural death that I grew up really listening

00:58:46.740 to, being a fan of his, really being, he was my era.

00:58:51.080 Now, do you know what kind of death Elton John is going to succumb to?

00:58:55.220 Uh, playing, uh, no, uh-uh.

00:58:58.680 No, um, no, I don't.

00:59:00.360 But I'm not saying that he's going to die, you know, now.

00:59:03.160 But who else is there that was in your, your childhood that has been going on, you know,

00:59:10.800 the Beatles, Paul McCartney.

00:59:12.040 He's before me.

00:59:13.660 Yes.

00:59:14.000 So he's not my generation. 0.94

00:59:15.340 Definitely for us.

00:59:15.780 Yeah.

00:59:16.580 Elton John, Billy Joel, kind of my generation.

00:59:20.200 Mm-hmm.

00:59:21.240 Well, I mean, George Michael's kind of in that generation.

00:59:24.220 He's gone.

00:59:24.520 No, but he's not a guy that I grew up with.

00:59:26.980 Elton's 70.

00:59:27.600 And that wasn't a regular, that wasn't a, you know, a normal death.

00:59:30.780 That was a drug overdose.

00:59:32.480 Elton John's only 70?

00:59:33.640 Yeah.

00:59:34.100 Oh, I thought he was 74.

00:59:34.720 Harrison Ford is 74.

00:59:36.420 Wow.

00:59:37.280 I know.

00:59:37.940 Wow.

00:59:38.320 Harrison Ford, 74.

00:59:39.820 Yeah.

00:59:40.240 He's, yeah.

00:59:40.640 He'll be another guy that when he dies, you know, Harrison Ford, a guy that I grew

00:59:45.140 up watching movies.

00:59:46.140 Yeah.

00:59:47.020 Yeah.

00:59:47.080 Yeah.

00:59:47.120 Yeah.

00:59:47.140 Mm-hmm.

00:59:47.960 Um, I saw, um, uh, Valerian.

00:59:53.460 Oh, yeah.

00:59:53.880 The city of a thousand planets or whatever.

00:59:56.060 Uh-oh.

00:59:56.520 I bet that was terrific, huh?

00:59:58.160 It's two hours of a thousand deaths.

01:00:00.660 No, really.

01:00:01.480 It's just...

01:00:01.920 I don't know what it is, but I love sci-fi movies like that, but that looks like it's

01:00:05.600 terrible.

01:00:06.100 It is everything you think it is and more.

01:00:09.340 Wow.

01:00:09.960 That's too bad.

01:00:10.640 That's awful.

01:00:11.080 It's...

01:00:11.320 It cost them $209 million.

01:00:13.960 Oh, it's going to cost them more than that.

01:00:15.980 These people won't work again.

01:00:17.740 Yeah.

01:00:18.020 It only made 17.

01:00:19.660 Yeah.

01:00:20.060 It's going to be...

01:00:20.520 It's set up to be one of the bigger box office bombs of all time.

01:00:24.080 Just 17 million this weekend, and it's going to go down a lot from there if it's bad.

01:00:28.220 And if you missed the movie review earlier of Dunkirk, uh, really, really good.

01:00:33.760 Really worth seeing.

01:00:35.040 Really, really good.

01:00:36.360 Although Glenn blew it.

01:00:37.460 It apparently had us a war scene.

01:00:39.040 Totally spoiler alert.

01:00:42.340 The British loot. 0.52

01:00:43.180 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, boy.

01:00:45.080 I've said it all.

01:00:45.480 It's giving away way too much.

01:00:47.180 All right.

01:00:47.600 Let me give you, um, an entrance examination for the University of Illinois, 1922.

01:00:55.700 Just...

01:00:56.420 I'm going to give you five questions.

01:00:58.540 See if anyone can answer any of these five questions.

01:01:02.520 Describe the conditions causing Achilles to stop fighting.

01:01:06.360 You get shot, and then it's usually taking a step the wrong way.

01:01:11.080 His heel, right?

01:01:11.660 His heel, right?

01:01:12.480 Yeah.

01:01:12.800 His tendon.

01:01:13.840 Yeah.

01:01:14.180 His tendon was cut.

01:01:15.180 You'll need his reconstructive surgery.

01:01:18.020 Okay.

01:01:18.680 Out for the rest of the season.

01:01:20.160 Easily out for the season, yeah.

01:01:21.380 What was Franklin's plan for the Union of the Colonies?

01:01:25.300 Discuss his arguments in favor of it.

01:01:28.280 It's 1922.

01:01:30.080 Discuss Benjamin Franklin's plan for the Union of the Colonies.

01:01:36.080 Discuss his arguments in favor of it.

01:01:37.840 I mean...

01:01:39.860 I have no idea.

01:01:40.920 His plan was...

01:01:41.320 He flew a tight...

01:01:42.140 A republic, right?

01:01:43.480 And, like, lightning struck a key.

01:01:45.240 Maybe.

01:01:45.740 How about this one?

01:01:46.780 Maybe his plan came from that Indian chief that said, you know, bind them together and 0.69

01:01:51.960 they're strong?

01:01:53.540 Maybe?

01:01:54.140 Maybe.

01:01:54.260 That's as close as I can get.

01:01:55.940 Maybe.

01:01:56.300 The snake?

01:01:58.140 Yeah, the Union.

01:01:58.660 That was...

01:01:59.580 And then you have...

01:02:00.180 That was a Duran Duran song.

01:02:01.380 Union of the Snake is on the rise.

01:02:02.720 Yeah, so that could be it, too.

01:02:05.640 That could be it, too.

01:02:06.460 I don't think any of these are right, but join or die?

01:02:09.680 Yeah?

01:02:10.180 Okay.

01:02:11.200 What characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream are more than mere types?

01:02:16.900 Defend your answer.

01:02:18.300 I'm not...

01:02:19.080 I can't...

01:02:19.480 Don't do Shakespeare.

01:02:21.020 Whoa.

01:02:21.380 I'd have to tell him that.

01:02:22.360 I don't do Shakespeare. 0.97

01:02:22.900 I think probably the clarifying thing is Shakespeare's dumb, so don't ask me about it again. 0.94

01:02:27.500 That's how I would answer that. 0.86

01:02:29.080 When that's relevant to my life, I'll let you know.

01:02:31.180 Boy, you guys are going to go to the university.

01:02:32.840 Oh, it is.

01:02:33.640 Summarize the chief ideas you gained from reading one of Thackeray's essays in The English Humorist.

01:02:40.000 Yeah, I forgot.

01:02:40.400 Oh, yeah.

01:02:40.700 I forgot to read the Thackeray diaries.

01:02:42.120 Point out four distinctly Poe-esque characteristics marking the raven.

01:02:47.640 Now, you should be able to nail this.

01:02:48.700 I think I could do that.

01:02:50.060 Maybe.

01:02:50.640 Maybe I could do that.

01:02:51.600 You said the word quoth is one.

01:02:53.780 Quoth.

01:02:54.300 Quoth.

01:02:54.760 Never say quoth.

01:02:55.760 No, I don't think that is one of them.

01:02:57.500 No?

01:02:57.640 Okay.

01:02:58.280 So those are just five of them.

01:03:01.180 What does that tell you?

01:03:03.420 We have different priorities.

01:03:05.920 Mm-hmm.

01:03:07.020 They study different things, that's for sure.

01:03:09.140 So, actually, here's what's interesting.

01:03:11.840 Annie Holmquist wrote an article about these five questions, and she said, one might argue

01:03:22.920 that just because today's entrance exam don't ask us thorough or probing questions doesn't

01:03:27.160 mean that high school students are not familiar with a wide range of classic and historical

01:03:31.400 works.

01:03:31.940 Unfortunately, the experience of university professors such as Alan Bloom suggests otherwise.

01:03:38.460 In 87, Bloom wrote that the decline of student reading habits first became evident in the

01:03:44.160 1960s.

01:03:45.720 He notes that while there may have been a few who grazed on the classics in high school,

01:03:51.280 the notion of books as companions is foreign to them.

01:03:56.380 Lacking in this knowledge, students will also have a much narrower lens to which to view

01:04:02.100 the world and interpret it.

01:04:03.700 That makes sense because there were so many other things to entertain people by then, right?

01:04:07.940 Yeah.

01:04:08.160 I mean, in 1920, your entertainment was a book.

01:04:11.020 Correct.

01:04:11.540 Not anymore.

01:04:12.960 Students today have nothing like the characters that Dickens gave, which sharpened our vision,

01:04:19.560 allowing us some subtlety in our distinction of human types.

01:04:23.200 Oh, they're forgetting about Valerian and the city of a thousand planets there.

01:04:27.140 She's not taking that into account.

01:04:29.100 It is a complex set of experiences that enables one to so simply say, he's a Scrooge.

01:04:36.160 Without literature, no such observations are possible and the fine art of comparison is lost.

01:04:44.040 The psychological obtruseness of our students is appalling because they only have pop psychology.

01:04:50.560 Listen to this.

01:04:51.180 Because they only have pop psychology to tell them what people are like and a range of their motives.

01:04:58.360 As awareness that we owed almost exclusively to literary genius falters, people become more alike.

01:05:06.160 For want of knowing that they can be otherwise, what poor substitutes for real diversity are the wild rainbows of dyed hair and other external differences that tell the observer nothing about what is inside that matters.

01:05:23.100 It's pretty insightful.

01:05:24.180 That's really good.

01:05:25.540 That's really good.

01:05:26.720 Try to get your kids to read a classic.

01:05:31.700 Try.

01:05:33.520 Almost impossible.

01:05:35.620 Almost impossible.

01:05:37.240 Trying to get them to read something that was written a hundred years ago is, it's so slow for them.

01:05:48.380 They want action.

01:05:50.060 They want, okay, get to a story.

01:05:51.400 They don't sit well through the descriptions of what the room looked like, what the people looked like.

01:06:01.160 They just want, give me the meat, give me the meat, give me the meat.

01:06:04.000 Tell me the story.

01:06:05.060 Tried to get Rafe to read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde all summer long.

01:06:10.440 Couldn't get them to read it.

01:06:12.180 Went to Barnes & Noble and picked up a comic book, a graphic novel on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

01:06:18.060 Got one of Dracula and Frankenstein as well.

01:06:22.540 Have you guys ever read Frankenstein?

01:06:24.280 No.

01:06:24.780 It is nothing like the movie.

01:06:27.580 Nothing like the movie.

01:06:29.540 And I've been trying to get him.

01:06:30.300 He's not even a monster, is he?

01:06:31.960 He's not even a monster.

01:06:33.040 Actually, he's an accountant.

01:06:34.220 He's an accountant.

01:06:35.780 He's an accountant.

01:06:36.780 And the doctor, he's a doctor, he's an accountant and a vet.

01:06:42.560 And he finds a mouse.

01:06:44.640 Okay.

01:06:45.200 And he, the mouse has a broken leg.

01:06:48.640 And he sets it and he says, let my creature live for no reason.

01:06:53.220 Really at all.

01:06:54.160 It's a really weird.

01:06:55.380 It's a weird.

01:06:55.720 Yeah, anyway.

01:06:56.400 So tried to get him to read it.

01:06:57.840 Would not.

01:06:58.740 Get those comic books for him.

01:07:00.400 He reads them.

01:07:01.340 And he came back to me today.

01:07:02.640 He came back to me a couple months ago and said, dad, Frankenstein is nothing.

01:07:07.880 And I wanted to go, oh, I think I've been saying that.

01:07:11.400 But I was like, huh?

01:07:13.300 Not like it at all.

01:07:14.060 He's like, we have got to read Frankenstein.

01:07:16.580 Huh?

01:07:17.160 Yeah.

01:07:18.240 Yes, we should.

01:07:19.760 Good idea, son.

01:07:22.040 We have to find ways to get our kids to look deeper and to go back into.

01:07:29.160 I mean, who was it?

01:07:29.940 The Pendulet's good friend, Christopher Hitchens, who just died.

01:07:34.620 The atheist several years ago, several years ago.

01:07:38.120 But what he said was, in defense of the Bible, he said, if you want to understand the West,

01:07:47.240 if you want to understand Shakespeare, you must understand the Bible.

01:07:52.080 The Bible should be read just as literature because it is the basis of everything in the West.

01:08:02.220 And certainly the U.S. Constitution.

01:08:04.300 Right.

01:08:04.680 Everything comes from them.

01:08:06.080 Yeah.

01:08:06.420 Whether you like it or not.

01:08:07.960 He suggested that it should be the number one thing taught for literature.

01:08:14.480 Here's a guy who disagrees with every word in the Bible.

01:08:19.040 But he's like, that is the basis.

01:08:21.060 That's the stock of the West. 0.53

01:08:23.560 And unless you understand that stock, how do you read classics?

01:08:27.900 How do you read Shakespeare?

01:08:28.880 That's amazing coming from an avowed atheist like he was.

01:08:32.100 And if you don't understand Shakespeare, how do you really understand the West and England

01:08:38.580 and war and what the lessons are behind Macbeth and a lot of his work?

01:08:51.220 And that battle is what you're losing, right?

01:08:53.980 It's not just with your son.

01:08:55.360 It's with every person.

01:08:56.640 Did you see Jeffrey Katzenberg, his former DreamWorks executive, is raising $2 billion

01:09:00.960 to put Hollywood-style budgets, sets, actors, scripts, everything into new 10-minute episodes

01:09:09.120 of television?

01:09:10.740 So you think of all the money that they're putting into TV already.

01:09:13.620 They want to focus that to 10 minutes because they think people aren't watching half an hour

01:09:16.880 and an hour episodes, or they won't be as much in the future.

01:09:19.580 This will be a better way to deliver shows.

01:09:22.020 10 minutes.

01:09:23.000 Well, I mean, that's what all the YouTubers are doing, right?

01:09:27.640 They create 10, 15-minute YouTube clips, post them.

01:09:31.440 That's what everybody's watching.

01:09:33.700 That's true.

01:09:34.360 In some ways, we'll be talking about this in September, and in some regards, we're moving

01:09:41.780 the same way here.

01:09:42.700 Yeah.

01:09:43.600 We're moving the same way here.

01:09:44.700 That the Ben Sass book we talked to him about a few weeks ago, a lot of that is about actually

01:09:49.900 reading.

01:09:50.760 Here's a giant list of books for you to read.

01:09:53.420 Here is like, we need to go back to these times.

01:09:55.680 Because you're right, it's a deeper education.

01:09:57.960 And it's weird because being intelligent is something that used to be reflected in questions

01:10:05.520 like that.

01:10:06.340 Explain, you know.

01:10:07.780 Explain this.

01:10:08.560 Explain this.

01:10:09.240 Here's a fact.

01:10:11.180 It's a test.

01:10:12.100 And really, we've, in a way, our minds, because of Google, have evolved to, that's not really

01:10:17.800 what it is anymore.

01:10:18.800 Has anybody, have you guys heard anybody say that the third planet of the apes is the story

01:10:26.520 of Moses?

01:10:27.960 Yes.

01:10:28.720 Have you?

01:10:29.700 Just me?

01:10:30.680 Have you heard it from somebody else?

01:10:31.740 Yes.

01:10:32.280 Okay.

01:10:32.540 I had not heard that before.

01:10:34.360 And I whispered that to my son.

01:10:36.120 And my son said, of course it is, Dad.

01:10:38.280 Hello.

01:10:39.200 And we've had several conversations on that.

01:10:41.140 And you don't even have to believe the Bible.

01:10:43.640 I hope you grounded him for that disrespectful attitude.

01:10:46.500 Yeah.

01:10:46.740 What do you call him?

01:10:47.320 Moses a monkey?

01:10:48.200 Is that what you're saying?

01:10:49.180 Man.

01:10:49.360 Yeah.

01:10:49.640 No.

01:10:50.060 He's in his...

01:10:51.040 Rafe Beck compares monkey to Moses!

01:10:53.000 You should have done a New Media Matters release on that.

01:10:54.780 Don't worry.

01:10:55.480 He's in his God cage. 1.00

01:10:56.580 And treating you as if you're stupid. 1.00

01:10:58.540 I mean, where does he get off? 1.00

01:11:00.960 Right.

01:11:01.480 Exactly right.

01:11:02.440 God cage for him.

01:11:04.380 Anyway, it's in his closet.

01:11:06.920 But, you know, he would not have been able to have a different understanding of what was happening.

01:11:16.720 He would have had no comparisons to Planet of the Apes.

01:11:20.700 It just would have been an ape movie.

01:11:23.880 Instead, it became, oh my gosh, look at the pattern here.

01:11:28.020 Look at the pattern of Moses.

01:11:29.540 Look at the pattern of the people.

01:11:31.280 Look at what happened.

01:11:32.160 Is this deliverance?

01:11:33.580 Those kinds of things are important.

01:11:35.700 And we're losing all of that.

01:13:06.280 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:09.500 Okay, so if you saw Dunkirk, I will not spoil anything.

01:13:12.840 But there is a pilot that lands on the beach.

01:13:17.560 And it's a pretty amazing moment.

01:13:20.220 And I wondered, is this true at all?

01:13:25.100 And it apparently is based or closely resembles Alan Christopher.

01:13:32.580 He was known as Al Deer at the time.

01:13:35.080 He was from New Zealand.

01:13:36.680 He flew a Spitfire.

01:13:38.700 It was very similar to this, except his tail was hit by a rear gunner of a German plane.

01:13:47.200 And so this scene is very similar.

01:13:52.680 I won't give any more.

01:13:54.180 Other than he lands on the beach.

01:13:57.280 And it's apparently his story that they took.

01:14:01.360 He had a gash on his face.

01:14:03.200 Gash on his face.

01:14:04.760 And when a woman from the mole, the beach, ran out to help him, stitched him back up, got him onto a boat.

01:14:12.860 When he was getting onto the boat, she heard people say, where the hell were you?

01:14:18.660 Because he was a pilot.

01:14:19.780 So there's some interesting things.

01:14:23.440 It happened.

01:14:24.120 Wow.

01:14:24.480 It did happen.

01:14:25.320 Not the way it does in the movie.

01:14:27.180 And where the hell he was was where he should have been.

01:14:29.400 Yeah.

01:14:29.780 Saved a lot of lives.

01:14:30.900 Yeah.

01:14:31.040 Pretty amazing.

01:14:32.400 Pretty amazing stuff.

01:14:33.560 So much for having to see the movie.

01:14:34.880 Yeah.

01:14:35.520 No.

01:14:36.080 And the Germans actually beat the English and the French right there on the beach.

01:14:42.300 Yeah.

01:14:42.760 Yeah.

01:14:43.180 Thanks.

01:14:43.840 And they send boats to get the guys.

01:14:45.840 Okay, stop.

01:14:46.700 Stop.

01:14:47.140 I didn't mean to spoil it.

01:14:48.220 Glenn Beck.

01:15:13.400 On Demand.

01:15:17.420 Hello.

01:15:18.220 Hello, America.

01:15:20.300 You haven't lived until you've heard Pat's weekend.

01:15:25.220 Pat had to watch the Twilight.

01:15:27.580 He's avoided it for all these years.

01:15:29.700 The Twilight Trilogy.

01:15:31.900 With his wife.

01:15:32.580 And actually, there's two more.

01:15:34.000 Yeah.

01:15:34.360 To endure.

01:15:35.120 What do you mean there's two more?

01:15:36.020 There's five.

01:15:36.840 There's five. 0.96

01:15:37.600 The hell? 1.00

01:15:38.180 Shut your mouth on that. 1.00

01:15:39.680 No. 0.98

01:15:40.720 Sorry. 1.00

01:15:41.620 Shut up. 1.00

01:15:42.720 What do you mean? 1.00

01:15:43.140 Yeah, there's five.

01:15:44.840 No, there's not.

01:15:45.440 There's three.

01:15:45.880 There's four.

01:15:46.260 There's a three.

01:15:47.020 No, there's the three.

01:15:48.040 There's the trilogy.

01:15:49.240 And we will discuss this no more.

01:15:54.540 Also, also, a way to figure out the media.

01:15:58.540 Unfortunately, we have to figure out ourselves at the same time.

01:16:01.600 And we do that right now.

01:16:03.380 I will make a stand.

01:16:06.160 I will raise my voice.

01:16:08.400 I will hold your hand.

01:16:10.840 Because we are one.

01:16:12.640 I will beat my drum.

01:16:14.900 I have made my choice.

01:16:17.140 We will overcome.

01:16:19.440 Because we are one.

01:16:21.500 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:16:24.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:16:30.760 Don't start.

01:16:31.840 Don't start.

01:16:32.360 I forgot that they cut it into.

01:16:34.140 I forgot they cut the last one into two books.

01:16:37.100 So, yeah.

01:16:37.500 There were going to be four.

01:16:38.620 And then it was too meaty.

01:16:40.680 So, they had to split it into two more movies.

01:16:44.720 Oh, it was so obnoxious.

01:16:46.120 That is the only good theater experience I ever had in New York City.

01:16:50.440 Every time I went to the movies in New York City, it was bad.

01:16:54.080 And this time, I was sitting next.

01:16:56.700 There was a guy who, if he knew who I was, he put his hatred of that series over his hatred for me.

01:17:06.700 And that was saying something in New York.

01:17:08.940 No doubt.

01:17:09.220 And I was sitting in the theater, and there was only one seat.

01:17:12.440 There was a seat between us.

01:17:13.920 And every guy in there walked in like a zombie with their wife or their girlfriend.

01:17:19.980 And I'm sitting next to this guy.

01:17:23.620 And at some point, I just looked really bad.

01:17:28.820 And I just look over at him, and he looks over at me.

01:17:32.160 And he went, right?

01:17:34.340 And I said, I can't take it.

01:17:37.160 He said, how much longer is this?

01:17:39.480 I don't know.

01:17:40.700 And then our wives both poked us, jabbed us, and we sat there like dutiful husbands watching it.

01:17:46.940 I don't know how you, A, got away with not seeing it for this long.

01:17:51.840 I know.

01:17:52.300 And then got roped into watching it with her all weekend.

01:17:56.560 It's a weird phenomenon.

01:17:57.500 My wife's always been opposed to this series.

01:17:59.400 Yeah.

01:17:59.800 And we've...

01:18:00.440 That's a pretty big guy series for you, Pat, Greg.

01:18:01.800 Tried to steer our kids away from it.

01:18:03.140 Yeah, because of the vampire thing.

01:18:05.260 But...

01:18:05.820 The undead.

01:18:06.960 She was in Utah for eight days, and her best friend is a huge Twilight fan.

01:18:12.300 And so she finally succumbed to watching it.

01:18:14.600 And so after the first one the other night, after Twilight, we watched the whole thing.

01:18:19.520 And I keep my mouth shut because I didn't want to ruin the experience because it's a quality one.

01:18:23.140 So at the end of the movie, I stand up and say, wow, that is worse than I ever thought it could be. 0.97

01:18:32.360 Was that the biggest piece of trash? 0.98

01:18:34.480 The dialogue is horrific. 1.00

01:18:36.520 The acting sucks. 0.99

01:18:37.960 And she's like, I loved it. 1.00

01:18:41.180 And at that point, I lost all respect for my wife.

01:18:43.200 You're doomed right there.

01:18:43.960 Yes.

01:18:44.520 Wow.

01:18:46.100 Wow.

01:18:46.640 It was, I mean...

01:18:47.340 So am I to understand, Glenn Beck, that you haven't seen all of them?

01:18:50.480 No, I have.

01:18:51.080 I forgot.

01:18:51.460 I thought it was the trilogy.

01:18:53.140 But I forgot there were four books.

01:18:54.440 Oh, okay.

01:18:54.680 Because I'll email time.

01:18:55.500 And they cut the last five movies.

01:18:56.980 I've got the movies at the house.

01:18:58.160 No, no, no.

01:18:59.360 No, believe me.

01:19:00.360 She has watched them on her own since.

01:19:03.340 Like, what are you doing?

01:19:04.600 Watching Twilight?

01:19:05.640 Oh, dear God.

01:19:06.200 I'm gone.

01:19:07.120 I have to mow the lawn of the neighbors for the next three days.

01:19:11.300 And I guess, you know, the experience, maybe it clouds women's judgment because Taylor Lautner, 1.00

01:19:19.320 whatever his name is, is half naked the whole time.

01:19:21.900 He's not the only one.

01:19:23.140 I know.

01:19:23.780 I know.

01:19:24.240 I know.

01:19:25.160 But it's...

01:19:25.760 Stop.

01:19:27.880 I didn't notice a difference between the naked men and the naked women. 1.00

01:19:31.060 I don't notice those things anymore.

01:19:31.920 There were no naked women. 1.00

01:19:33.160 I mean, the women are all... 1.00

01:19:34.320 But it doesn't matter. 0.86

01:19:35.100 Naked men, naked women, they're all the same to me. 1.00

01:19:37.980 It's all okay. 0.99

01:19:39.420 It's all okay.

01:19:40.460 Oh, all right.

01:19:41.120 So, I am both attracted and not attracted to naked women and naked men.

01:19:47.120 It doesn't matter.

01:19:48.180 I don't see them as objects or people, even.

01:19:52.380 Mm-hmm.

01:19:52.980 That's very enlightened and forward-thinking.

01:19:55.320 Yeah.

01:19:55.720 Sure is. 0.99

01:19:56.780 I'm not in with your cisgender nonsense. 1.00

01:20:00.020 Your gender normative standards? 0.99

01:20:01.840 Is that what you're trying to say?

01:20:02.680 Thank you.

01:20:02.700 Your gender normative standards.

01:20:03.980 I won't hear of it, Pat.

01:20:07.260 I have movie normative standards, too.

01:20:09.960 And this didn't fit them.

01:20:11.740 This did not rise to them.

01:20:13.180 No.

01:20:13.740 You know, it could be said that we're all escaping on the weekend.

01:20:18.280 Could be said.

01:20:18.800 It could be said that.

01:20:20.000 Because this is...

01:20:21.040 I mean, I rarely do double features.

01:20:24.480 And I've done a couple weekends of double features in a row.

01:20:27.880 It could be that we're escaping.

01:20:29.640 What was it last weekend?

01:20:30.960 I don't remember.

01:20:31.480 There were two big ones.

01:20:32.060 And by the way, I have to tell you...

01:20:34.280 Everybody says, you know, there's not a lot of good movies.

01:20:36.720 I think there are a lot of good movies.

01:20:38.840 I think Dunkirk is great.

01:20:39.820 I know.

01:20:40.000 You like almost everything you've seen this summer.

01:20:42.960 Not everything, but I mean...

01:20:44.660 Well, you've seen two movies that you said were the greatest movies of all time.

01:20:47.660 Dunkirk.

01:20:48.520 No, I said it was a masterpiece.

01:20:49.980 And I stand by that.

01:20:50.620 And Guardians of the Galaxy, too.

01:20:52.720 Which I thought was great.

01:20:54.580 I thought was a mess.

01:20:55.440 I loved it.

01:20:56.240 It was a mess.

01:20:57.120 I loved it.

01:20:58.380 Yeah.

01:20:59.360 But Dunkirk we agree on.

01:21:00.980 That's a good movie.

01:21:01.940 Great movie.

01:21:02.540 You have many positive attributes.

01:21:04.320 And then also movie reviews.

01:21:08.960 All right.

01:21:09.860 I happen to agree with Pat on Twilight.

01:21:12.840 That's true.

01:21:13.460 I'm glad to hear that.

01:21:14.360 I am really glad to hear that.

01:21:15.460 I will say Pat is in a much better arguing position here.

01:21:18.860 You, my friend, were not only excited about the movies, you were telling us about the books

01:21:24.220 before the movies came out.

01:21:25.420 I thought the Twilight series was a great series of books.

01:21:27.440 And then you excitedly...

01:21:29.120 I thought it was a great series of books.

01:21:30.060 You went to the theater and were excited about it.

01:21:33.580 Pat was forced into it by marriage.

01:21:37.120 And he fought it the whole way.

01:21:39.860 You were thrilled about going to see it.

01:21:41.660 So Pat is much more in the clear here.

01:21:43.340 No, I have a much more credible movie review then.

01:21:49.360 Because I liked the books.

01:21:51.200 I wanted to see the movie.

01:21:53.000 And then I saw the movie.

01:21:54.760 And I was like, holy mother of everything that is good and sacred.

01:22:00.060 Please take me now. 0.99

01:22:01.520 And you talk about a dumb storyline. 0.60

01:22:03.980 I mean, Stephanie Meyer gets all this credit for an incredible... 0.99

01:22:07.020 That is the dumbest story maybe ever written. 0.98

01:22:10.760 I liked it. 1.00

01:22:11.300 I did too.

01:22:12.060 I did too.

01:22:12.480 I liked the book.

01:22:13.440 I liked the book.

01:22:14.200 Did you ever...

01:22:15.000 First of all, vampires can't go out in the sun.

01:22:17.660 We all know that.

01:22:18.620 They don't just glisten in the sun.

01:22:20.740 They die!

01:22:22.180 They burn to death. 0.98

01:22:24.300 Who are you to be the end-all and be-all of vampire?

01:22:28.660 I am a guy who's seen a lot of vampire movies.

01:22:31.020 And I know what's right and what's not.

01:22:32.560 Have you?

01:22:33.220 Yes.

01:22:33.660 Tell me about Nosferatu.

01:22:37.160 What about him?

01:22:38.000 Tell me about what happens to him.

01:22:39.960 He gets really old.

01:22:43.200 And bites people.

01:22:44.460 So I no longer believe you as an authority on vampirism.

01:22:50.140 Do you see the...

01:22:51.760 I did an interview with John Ziegler from Mediate and his podcast.

01:22:59.060 I think Ziegler is one of the more honest people in the media.

01:23:05.100 Almost to a fault.

01:23:06.400 He just does not care.

01:23:09.140 And have every belief in me that at some point we'll do something that he doesn't like and he'll say that we're the worst human beings of all time.

01:23:21.460 It's possible.

01:23:22.020 On that issue.

01:23:23.620 But so I did an interview with him this weekend and I thought it was a good interview.

01:23:27.740 And he wrote something last night.

01:23:32.640 In my rather strange media career, I've had the chance to do interviews with some rather high profile newsmakers and some sticky situations.

01:23:39.700 While my weekend podcast discussion with conservative libertarian talk show host Glenn Beck was not the most publicized that I've ever done, it may have been the most fascinating and important.

01:23:50.040 If you care even a little bit about our dysfunctional media machinery and broken national dialogue, I urge you to listen to all 40 minutes of it.

01:23:58.440 If you do, you'll be way ahead of many of those who commented on it.

01:24:03.920 This is what I want to concentrate on.

01:24:05.840 You should listen to the podcast.

01:24:07.140 John has some really good questions, some really good answers in it.

01:24:11.540 But what I'm fascinated by is how the media portrayed this, how the headlines changed.

01:24:20.480 For instance, the one headline was misleading.

01:24:26.260 Beck takes on the right.

01:24:29.060 Or no, it was the most, it was like Beck talks to Trump.

01:24:34.300 I think he talks about Trump.

01:24:35.820 Okay, and then the next one was Beck takes on Trump. 0.97

01:24:39.800 Then the next headline was Beck talks trash about Trump.

01:24:44.520 I mean, it just spirals. 0.91

01:24:47.380 And if you read the comments, they don't even read or listen to the first source.

01:24:53.680 They have no idea what they're talking about.

01:24:56.060 So I just wanted to show you the opposite of the headlines that you're reading, that Beck takes on Trump.

01:25:07.160 Listen to his questions and the beginnings of my answers.

01:25:12.240 How would you grade Trump after six months in comparison to what you had anticipated or feared?

01:25:17.320 Let me say this, that I think we have an extraordinary opportunity right now to get Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan out of leadership.

01:25:32.300 They have been a disaster.

01:25:34.160 They can't get anything passed because what they're trying to pass has nothing to do with conservative values or the conservative movement or actually even helping people.

01:25:46.140 It seems like you didn't even mention Trump there.

01:25:48.940 Huh, huh.

01:25:50.220 Okay, is there any other examples of that, maybe?

01:25:52.600 Who or what surprised you most about how specifically the conservative media has dealt with Trump from the beginning of this odyssey until today?

01:26:03.440 I would say, in an unflattering way, I would say me.

01:26:10.340 Okay, so now you're going to skip to the next one.

01:26:15.580 What is this one about?

01:26:16.760 This one is about the other headline that ran.

01:26:19.040 First, Beck takes on Trump.

01:26:21.720 Look, we have an incredible opportunity right now that I didn't see coming, and that's getting real tax reform passed if we can get Congress to move.

01:26:29.520 Don't even mention him.

01:26:30.680 Then the next one is, really, let's get you to take on the right-wing media. 0.93

01:26:35.780 Who were you disappointed in?

01:26:37.720 Answer, me.

01:26:39.140 Because you didn't read the pain of the audience well enough for the Americans, and then he pushes you a little bit further on it.

01:26:45.220 Who or what surprised you most about the conservative media with regard to their dealing with Trump?

01:26:49.700 Wow, you're just trying to pin me down, aren't you?

01:26:53.260 Look, Glenn, I gave you a wide open there.

01:26:56.080 I didn't ask you to who.

01:26:57.700 I said who or what.

01:26:58.820 I'm giving you all sorts of options here.

01:27:00.620 Okay, so I'm just going to go with what, because I think people can make their own conclusions.

01:27:06.840 I just, I'm tired of fighting back and forth, but people can make their own conclusions.

01:27:13.960 I mean, so you've never done trash anybody there.

01:27:18.880 So here's what I wanted to pull out of this, and I was grateful to John for, A, an interesting and intelligent conversation.

01:27:30.180 They don't happen very often.

01:27:31.720 Listen to John Ziegler's podcast.

01:27:33.340 You can find it in the links up at my Facebook page or at glenbeck.com.

01:27:38.700 But it was interesting and intelligent, so thanks for that.

01:27:44.680 Second, interesting how the headlines that were grabbed, many of them didn't reflect the interview.

01:27:54.320 And if they did, they were the least interesting parts of it.

01:27:58.600 They were just the bloody meat parts of it.

01:28:04.440 And one more step.

01:28:07.420 Look at the comments from people on Facebook.

01:28:13.360 Look at the comments from people under the stories.

01:28:16.880 We say we think that the media is horrible, and they report fake news, and we don't know the truth because of them, and they'll never report the truth.

01:28:29.700 Well, none of us are either.

01:28:32.040 Because if you're commenting on something that you haven't read, if you're commenting on something that you haven't listened to,

01:28:42.100 Let me give you this.

01:28:45.920 He writes in this, this is what I posted last night.

01:28:48.340 This was hysterical.

01:28:50.060 I posted last night, quote,

01:28:52.360 Anyone who's bothered to listen to the whole interview would know that this simply was not even remotely true.

01:28:57.520 In fact, I don't think Beck even directly criticized Trump even one time, despite me giving him numerous opportunities to do so.

01:29:05.880 It was clear to me that Beck was bending over backwards to give Trump every chance possible to succeed,

01:29:10.720 but while also standing on conservative principles in an effort to keep him and the movement at least somewhat honest.

01:29:18.360 In reality, one of the more extraordinary moments in the discussion came when I asked him who or what surprised him most about dot dot dot.

01:29:26.680 Okay, so that's what I post.

01:29:30.360 The comments were right. 0.99

01:29:33.740 Then why just stick off your face in the Cheetos? 0.85

01:29:36.740 I got these people who are obsessed with that bit. 0.83

01:29:40.900 They really are.

01:29:42.000 They really are.

01:29:43.800 Glenn bashed Trump repeatedly.

01:29:48.400 Okay.

01:29:51.740 Mr. Beck seems to me like you have a choice of accepting our form of government out of love of your country

01:29:57.840 and continue to support the Constitution, blah, blah, blah.

01:30:01.740 John Ziegler is another liberal hack.

01:30:04.660 Um, liberal, yeah.

01:30:07.200 Oh, my gosh.

01:30:08.000 Bull all Beck and his sidekicks do is try to criticize, uh, Trump.

01:30:12.920 Um, uh, it goes on and on and on and on and on.

01:30:18.760 They didn't even, they didn't even take the time to realize that this was a quote out of something that had happened that day

01:30:27.820 about an interview.

01:30:30.160 So they didn't listen to the interview and they didn't read the story.

01:30:34.160 All they saw was Beck, Trump, Ziegler.

01:30:38.960 Yeah.

01:30:39.500 And they went.

01:30:40.640 For some people, unless you are saying that Donald Trump is the fourth member of the Godhead.

01:30:47.460 God.

01:30:47.680 No, but I don't think that's, uh, they don't, they're not happy.

01:30:50.760 A, I don't think, I don't think it's just a, it's not just Donald Trump supporters.

01:30:55.480 It's all of us.

01:30:57.000 It's all of us with our own point of view.

01:30:59.460 We see somebody that says anything that we think we know what they're talking about because we've put this person in a box.

01:31:10.500 We automatically jump to, yeah, well, that guy.

01:31:16.160 It, it, it, we, there's no way to move forward unless we can have actual conversations.

01:31:22.460 There's no way to move forward.

01:31:24.960 The average person spends 10 seconds per news story.

01:31:31.160 So when you're looking at your story on Facebook or however you get your news, the blaze or glenbeck.com or whatever, the average person only spends 10 seconds per story.

01:31:44.600 How can you possibly know what that story is about?

01:31:48.440 You can't.

01:31:49.240 And we're all spouting off like we know everything when in reality, all of us know nothing.

01:31:57.080 Now this, let me tell you a story about Stephanie.

01:32:00.780 Stephanie and her husband made the hard decision to take a transfer, uh, that her husband's job offered.

01:32:07.760 Well, that meant they had to leave their hometown of 24 years.

01:32:11.200 They had to leave their children and their grandchildren.

01:32:15.020 Very emotional move.

01:32:16.580 Stephanie is a listener to the program.

01:32:18.860 Hi, Steph.

01:32:19.980 Uh, and she knew that we could help with this emotional move.

01:32:26.860 She left a message.

01:32:28.060 She got a return call within the hour.

01:32:29.860 Her agent, Ashley helped to try to make this a much easier and better experience.

01:32:35.160 They prayed together.

01:32:36.000 They laughed together.

01:32:36.720 And Ashley got her home sold. 0.97

01:33:27.020 888-727-BECK.

01:33:29.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:33:33.560 Hello and welcome to the program.

01:33:35.140 Some sad news today coming out of London.

01:33:37.760 We have a clip of a press conference that Charlie Gard's parents just filed in London.

01:33:46.620 Charlie has been left with his illness to deteriorate devastatingly to the point of no return.

01:33:52.440 This has also never been about parents know best.

01:33:56.200 All we wanted to do was take Charlie from one world-renowned hospital to another world-renowned hospital in the attempt to save his life and to be treated by the world leader in mitochondrial disease.

01:34:08.300 We will have to live with the what-ifs which will haunt us for the rest of our lives.

01:34:14.420 Despite the way that our beautiful son has been spoken about sometimes as if he is not worthy of a chance at life.

01:34:21.200 Our son is an absolute warrior and we could not be proud of him and we will miss him terribly.

01:34:30.900 His body, heart and soul may soon be gone.

01:34:33.680 But his spirit will live on for eternity and he will make a difference to people's lives for years to come.

01:34:40.000 We will make sure of that.

01:34:42.080 We are now going to spend our last precious moment with our son Charlie.

01:34:46.180 who unfortunately won't make his first birthday in just under two weeks' time.

01:34:54.280 Wow.

01:34:55.180 Good heavens.

01:34:55.960 That's just heartbreaking.

01:34:57.040 Oh my gosh.

01:34:57.960 It is heartbreaking.

01:34:58.640 Sad story.

01:35:00.060 The case was supposed to be heard again today but the doctor said because of the delay with the court cases and everything else

01:35:08.120 that he was no longer fit for any of the procedures.

01:35:16.180 And yet he listened to the father the way he speaks of this proud hospital that doomed his son to death.

01:35:23.560 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:27.200 Mercury.

01:35:28.640 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:35.000 Great story from Eric Erickson.

01:35:37.920 Which way will conservatives go?

01:35:41.800 In the end, Trump will force conservatives to decide if they love the rule of law more than they hate liberals.

01:35:47.580 I'm not confident in the outcome.

01:35:49.180 That was a tweet by Rod Dreher.

01:35:51.940 He said, so Eric writes, I share his lack of confidence in the outcome.

01:35:56.460 There is rapidly developing on the right a group of tribalists who think that they have all of the left and they can beat the left.

01:36:05.540 And in doing so, they'll become more and more each day just like the left.

01:36:11.300 Consider intersectionalism for a moment.

01:36:14.120 You should get comfortable with that term because it is the buzzword of the decade on the left.

01:36:19.760 It posits that we must take into account the whole person to determine levels of power and degrees of discrimination.

01:36:26.920 So, in other words, heterosexual, Christian, white male has maximum power, minimal chances of being discriminated against.

01:36:36.060 While black transgender lesbian has near minimal power and maximum chance of being discriminated against. 1.00

01:36:44.300 The result is that any black transgender lesbian must be put in a position of power over everyone else. 1.00

01:36:52.640 And no one can second guess that person without it being their privilege talking. 0.97

01:36:58.020 It lets loose a lord of the flies atmosphere on the left, now set loose on college campuses.

01:37:06.740 A liberal in good standing can soon find herself tied to the post at an academic firing line

01:37:12.380 because she didn't recognize that though she's hermaphrodite and lesbian, 1.00

01:37:20.820 she was both an actual genuine white woman. 0.96

01:37:24.900 Therefore, she has way too much privilege and had no business telling the transgendered Hispanic midget not to talk in class. 1.00

01:37:33.880 On the right, those in the tribal class of beat the left are no different, 0.99

01:37:39.320 though they presently judge themselves based on fealty to Trump.

01:37:45.680 This person was with Trump from day one,

01:37:48.840 so he must be listened to and respected more than the person who was not with Trump until after South Carolina primary. 0.97

01:37:56.440 And both must be treated with greater value than the jackass traitor who only decided to loyally stick to Trump 0.95

01:38:03.320 after he became the Republican nominee. 0.97

01:38:06.940 Their ideas, at this point, inconsequential.

01:38:10.580 And that is wholly reflected in their own candidate's administration.

01:38:14.340 The Trump agenda consists of nothing more than rage-tweeting against the media and political opponents,

01:38:20.500 says Eric Erickson,

01:38:21.920 which his supporters of the beat-the-left variety tell us has a secret meaning.

01:38:27.900 It's part of a larger plan that we're not smart enough to see, and he fights.

01:38:33.280 The alternative is that the rule of law must matter.

01:38:37.460 And I think we're rapidly moving to the point where those of us who think it does

01:38:43.700 will be more or less the monks in the monastery keeping vigil around actual truth and knowledge.

01:38:52.100 I want you to know Eric is right about this point in our history coming, intersectionalism.

01:38:58.860 We are about to hit the intersection where we now are going to have to decide whether the rule of law matters.

01:39:11.240 We've already known that principles don't matter.

01:39:14.320 We understand that lies don't matter.

01:39:17.780 We understand that corruption doesn't matter.

01:39:20.280 Whatever it is, it doesn't matter as long as it's your side doing it.

01:39:25.060 But the question is, does rule of law matter?

01:39:29.940 Now listen to this.

01:39:31.940 Some of us will see the armed bandits and roving hordes tear down our doors and seek to ruin us.

01:39:38.160 But others will have to carry on until it's safe to come out and show there really is a better way.

01:39:44.280 Frankly, that's what churches in America are doing right now.

01:39:48.400 Tearing down tribal lines with the unity of Christ.

01:39:51.420 But there are too many on both sides who have joined up with the tribes.

01:39:56.060 And too many congregants, even within still sane churches, who are flirting with the tribes. 0.65

01:40:03.000 Right now, the beat the left Republicans are willing to pass a health care bill

01:40:07.920 that breaks every single promise on the right.

01:40:12.100 Because the left is upset about it, they now think it's a great idea.

01:40:17.360 That they will actually fund Planned Parenthood to get it done.

01:40:22.940 They will grow government and fund Planned Parenthood because the left doesn't like the bill.

01:40:30.680 They will also coddle Russia and turn a blind eye to any abuses of power on their own side. 0.60

01:40:36.560 So long as their own side continues to beat the left.

01:40:40.420 The problem is, of course, is that history is somewhat cyclical and politics even more so.

01:40:46.220 Just as Barack Obama established the precedents to abuse executive orders that Donald Trump has now grabbed hold of,

01:40:53.900 Donald Trump is establishing precedents that Democrats will soon grab a hold of once they take the White House.

01:41:00.940 The beat the left Republicans are so committed to winning,

01:41:05.260 no matter the cost, that they have failed to see and plant their feet upon first rule of fight.

01:41:13.380 Nothing in politics is permanent.

01:41:17.200 One day, we will find ourselves on the losing side with a beat the right attitude and mob.

01:41:26.420 When that Democrat is in the White House,

01:41:29.360 who will marvel and behold the complete collapse of the rule of law which he can take advantage of?

01:41:36.580 If the right is going to surrender the moral high ground and adopt all tactics of the left,

01:41:42.120 they shouldn't be surprised to see the Democrat who comes to power next and what he does.

01:41:48.980 If he does what this president claimed he would do,

01:41:52.520 but had the foresight not to do,

01:41:55.120 engage in a politically motivated prosecution of the prior administration.

01:42:00.180 So, what do we do?

01:42:05.400 Now, here's interesting.

01:42:07.180 As we're getting into this beat the left, beat the left, beat the left, nothing matters.

01:42:12.440 Remember, these people are not going away.

01:42:14.860 And if the pendulum swings the other way,

01:42:17.880 everything that you said was fair game will be fair game and embraced.

01:42:24.400 We're struggling with it now.

01:42:26.060 They will embrace it and dance with it.

01:42:30.060 You need evidence?

01:42:32.280 Let's talk about the re-emergence of Al Gore.

01:42:35.620 Notice Al Gore has been missing for, strangely, eight years.

01:42:41.920 Now, first year of Republicans, he's strangely back.

01:42:47.100 Boy, that's really true, isn't it?

01:42:48.280 Beating the war drums of global warming.

01:42:51.920 Listen.

01:42:52.200 Why did you make the prediction at the time, and are you making a new one right now?

01:42:57.820 The premiere of an Inconvenient sequel, Truth to Power, with former Vice President Al Gore.

01:43:04.800 So, the first question I have for you was the prediction that you made in the first film

01:43:10.860 about reaching the point of no return in ten years.

01:43:14.080 That was back in 2006.

01:43:16.000 Looking back on that prediction,

01:43:17.480 why did you make the prediction at the time, and are you making a new one right now,

01:43:23.600 given the current circle?

01:43:24.400 Well, first of all, we've seen a lot of progress since the first movie came out.

01:43:28.840 We have the Paris Agreement now.

01:43:30.860 The cost of renewable energy has come down so quickly that people are switching over.

01:43:36.020 Okay, stop for a second.

01:43:36.900 As if...

01:43:37.760 The Paris Agreement, that's changed?

01:43:41.300 That's changed the timeline?

01:43:43.080 It just happened.

01:43:43.960 It just happened.

01:43:44.720 It hasn't even been fully implemented.

01:43:46.520 What are you talking about?

01:43:47.560 I mean, that's the first thing you need to do when you're with Al Gore,

01:43:50.300 is to call his BS on that.

01:43:51.640 Right.

01:43:51.920 And then, wait a minute, hold on just a second.

01:43:54.020 And then the price of renewals has come down so far that people are racing towards it?

01:43:59.220 No, I don't think so.

01:44:00.800 And by the way, electric cars.

01:44:03.560 What an electric car, electric car.

01:44:05.120 Oh yeah, that's right.

01:44:06.640 Electricity comes from coal-fired plants.

01:44:10.160 I mean, what are you talking about?

01:44:12.980 And natural gas has massively expanded as well,

01:44:15.920 which is the only reason emissions have dropped,

01:44:18.100 is because we're using a different fossil fuel that has less emissions.

01:44:21.140 None of that has affected the climate yet.

01:44:23.780 No, of course not.

01:44:24.260 No, of course not.

01:44:24.960 And he knows that.

01:44:26.340 And I mean, the Paris Agreement isn't even in effect in any meaningful way.

01:44:30.600 And even if it was, and it had us in it, which it doesn't,

01:44:34.920 it still wouldn't do anything.

01:44:36.520 As all of their models show, it's just a first step to eventually get to something 0.97

01:44:41.680 that would do something.

01:44:43.300 So he's taking these things, which they have said are just a first step

01:44:49.780 to get to a hundred-year plan.

01:44:52.940 And he's taking credit and saying that we haven't seen these doomsday predictions

01:44:58.480 come true because of these things that he has also said wouldn't make any difference now.

01:45:05.460 It's too late.

01:45:07.160 But this is always the case.

01:45:09.160 They have it both ways.

01:45:10.360 Yes.

01:45:11.120 Unfortunately, some elements of the Earth system have crossed a point of no return.

01:45:17.800 A big chunk of the West Antarctic ice sheet, for example,

01:45:22.080 makes a considerable amount of sea level rise.

01:45:25.000 Okay.

01:45:25.260 No, it doesn't.

01:45:26.280 No, it doesn't.

01:45:27.220 It didn't melt.

01:45:28.960 It broke.

01:45:30.620 It's still there.

01:45:31.960 It was already in the water.

01:45:33.540 It was already causing whatever rise an ice sheet is going to cause.

01:45:38.000 It hasn't affected it at all, nor will it unless it floats to Florida at mounts.

01:45:44.900 Then maybe we'll see a sea rise.

01:45:47.600 And NASA and everyone has said that was not caused by global warming.

01:45:54.380 It is a naturally occurring thing.

01:45:56.920 When the glacier starts to go out, it's pushed down.

01:46:00.540 It's moving.

01:46:01.200 As the glacier is pushed out over a long period of time,

01:46:05.360 they can get so heavy that they finally snap off from the rest of the glacier.

01:46:10.400 It's like a toenail.

01:46:12.580 It's called calving.

01:46:13.720 It's called calving.

01:46:15.280 And by the way, in the articles about this particular incident,

01:46:18.640 the head researchers who discovered it all say there is no tie to global warming.

01:46:23.900 This is the normal thing that happens.

01:46:25.120 It constantly grows out.

01:46:26.260 That's what those do.

01:46:28.320 It's like a fingernail or toenail.

01:46:30.280 It just continues to grow out.

01:46:33.020 You have to cut it.

01:46:34.040 This is called calving, where it just snaps off.

01:46:38.380 It's natural.

01:46:39.940 And also, all of them have said it doesn't affect the sea level.

01:46:44.040 So, again, lies inevitable in the future.

01:46:50.320 But we still have the ability to stop short of other points of no return.

01:46:56.580 And we now have the solutions available to really solve this crisis.

01:47:01.400 We need the political will.

01:47:02.920 But political will is a renewable resource.

01:47:06.100 So, I don't know about you, but when I saw Dunkirk, I saw the...

01:47:10.240 Did you see the preview for this awful...

01:47:13.100 No.

01:47:13.420 No, really?

01:47:14.360 Yeah, it was before Dunkirk.

01:47:15.540 Oh, wow.

01:47:17.220 That's got to be...

01:47:17.800 We need to go, I think, as a show.

01:47:19.500 We need to go.

01:47:20.320 Oh, that'd be fun.

01:47:21.160 Oh, yeah, we're going to go.

01:47:21.840 To an inconvenience.

01:47:22.740 Now, we're going to buy tickets to something else.

01:47:24.160 But, yes, we'll go to that.

01:47:25.360 Yeah.

01:47:25.820 We should just take a whole audience to it.

01:47:28.060 Oh, man.

01:47:28.680 Take a whole audience to it.

01:47:30.360 Can we buy tickets to something else?

01:47:32.240 I wonder if we can get some sort of a free preview or something.

01:47:36.380 Oh, surely Al's going to be all over that one.

01:47:38.700 Absolutely, they'll be all over that.

01:47:39.300 Not necessarily that Al would.

01:47:41.500 Maybe some movie theater.

01:47:42.560 You know what?

01:47:43.040 Maybe we should just do it because he's good for comedy.

01:47:46.780 And it's a good spend of money because he discredits the global warming thing so much.

01:47:54.760 It'd be great if we could stop and start the film.

01:47:56.500 Yes, it would.

01:47:59.320 Oh, man.

01:47:59.620 And respond to all of this.

01:48:00.480 Oh, wait a second.

01:48:01.340 Stop.

01:48:01.980 Can't line his pockets, though.

01:48:03.560 Cannot line his pockets under any circumstances.

01:48:06.240 That's all he's doing this for anyway.

01:48:08.540 He can't give him any of what.

01:48:09.880 That's what he wants.

01:48:10.520 He wants people to go see it so he can line his pockets somehow.

01:48:13.720 There's always something with this guy.

01:48:16.360 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:48:18.480 The U.S. dollar has lost 10%.

01:48:21.420 That is a two-year low against the euro.

01:48:24.960 So why is this a problem?

01:48:26.800 Because a stable dollar allows the Fed to unwind their QE measures with less risk.

01:48:32.380 What does that mean?

01:48:33.620 Remember they bought up a bunch of stuff that's not worth very much?

01:48:38.520 Remember that they also just kind of flooded the market with dollars, and they need to stop doing that?

01:48:50.580 The dollar falling down creates risk for runaway inflation.

01:48:56.900 Wait a minute.

01:48:57.880 So it's finally catching up.

01:48:58.860 I thought that wasn't ever going to happen.

01:49:01.180 Again, the Fed will never keep pace, which leads to a rapidly developing crisis.

01:49:10.140 None of this has ever been seen before.

01:49:12.240 None of it's...

01:49:12.660 I shouldn't say that.

01:49:13.500 This has been seen before.

01:49:14.400 It's never been done before where humans or the banks or anybody else has been able to unwind a mess like this.

01:49:22.800 It always ends in the destruction of the currency.

01:49:26.520 Always.

01:49:27.100 Every time.

01:49:27.780 5,000 years.

01:49:29.520 Every time.

01:49:31.780 But this time it's going to be different, they tell us.

01:49:34.900 Well, everything has to work perfectly.

01:49:38.720 What is the likelihood of that happening?

01:49:41.280 Please, please prepare yourself.

01:49:44.900 There is a report out now from President Reagan's budget director, David Stockman.

01:49:49.280 He identifies five threats to the economy.

01:49:51.920 You can understand those and read those by getting this report for free.

01:49:57.980 866-465-3546.

01:49:59.920 That's 866-GOLD-LINE.

01:50:02.360 1-866-GOLD-LINE.

01:50:04.220 Also, Goldline is extending their price protection programs.

01:50:07.920 Nobody does this.

01:50:09.060 401k, IRA, stock market, any investment.

01:50:13.020 Nothing will do this.

01:50:13.980 For as little as $2,500, you'll get three months of price protection, meaning if the price of gold goes down, they make it up with more gold.

01:50:22.720 All the way up to a year for a $25,000 investment.

01:50:27.220 How much do you have in your IRA or 401k?

01:50:30.100 See if Goldline will be able to help you with this right away.

01:50:33.320 See if you can move some of that into gold.

01:50:35.960 With the price protection, a year from now, you won't have lost anything.

01:50:39.660 If the price goes down, no stock is going to do that.

01:50:44.820 Make sure you read their important risk information.

01:50:46.760 Find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.

01:50:51.920 1-866-GOLD-LINE.

01:50:53.900 You're listening to The Glenn Beck Program.

01:50:57.800 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:51:05.180 Oh, man.

01:51:05.800 Tomorrow is a great show.

01:51:08.840 I will tell you tomorrow about the Florida family that was awakened by 15 pounds of sausage crashing through their roof.

01:51:19.440 How come some people get all the luck?

01:51:21.920 Right?

01:51:22.620 Right?

01:51:23.300 Sometimes Santa comes a little early.

01:51:26.080 Wow.

01:51:26.480 Here comes 15 pounds of sausage.

01:51:29.500 We'll give you that story tomorrow.

01:51:32.160 Tomorrow.

01:51:32.960 Also, I really want to start here.

01:51:34.540 We're going to leave you with something from Jim Carrey.

01:51:38.500 Jim Carrey is talking.

01:51:40.320 He's got a lot of problems.

01:51:41.580 We'll get into this tomorrow.

01:51:42.540 He's had a lot of problems over the last couple of years.

01:51:44.500 But listen to what he was talking about this weekend.

01:51:48.600 I really want to speak to the fact that I've had some challenges in the last couple of years myself.

01:51:55.520 And ultimately, I believe that suffering leads to salvation.

01:52:03.320 Wow.

01:52:03.580 And in fact, it's the only way.

01:52:06.360 He goes into a lot more spirituality.
