00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:08.040 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:11.180 We have a lot to cover today.
00:00:13.540 The GOP decided yesterday not to pass the health care bill that they put together in 2015.
00:00:23.240 They voted on it yesterday, but nobody was really paying attention
00:00:26.340 because Donald Trump tweeted,
00:00:30.500 No more transgender in the military.
00:00:34.340 This, I would like to say this was some plan to, you know, as misdirection,
00:00:43.040 so you're not watching the other hand, but I don't think this is.
00:00:47.080 This was ham-fisted, poorly done, and the ramifications to the Pentagon are enormous.
00:00:54.700 On both sides of the issue, I'm going to talk straight, common sense, based in fact.
00:01:03.480 We do that right now.
00:01:05.220 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand,
00:01:13.280 because we are one.
00:01:15.100 I will beat my drum, I have made my choice,
00:01:19.560 we will overcome, because we are one.
00:01:23.940 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:27.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:31.340 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:36.140 All right.
00:01:37.320 Let me give you an update on what happened yesterday.
00:01:39.940 Yesterday, around this time, Donald Trump tweeted these tweets.
00:01:45.180 After consultation with my generals and military experts,
00:01:47.940 please be advised the United States government will not accept nor allow
00:01:51.540 transgendered individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. military.
00:01:56.080 Our military must be focused on divisive, a decisive, and overwhelming victory
00:02:00.840 and cannot be burdened with a tremendous medical cost and disruption
00:02:03.800 that transgendered in the military would entail.
00:02:06.700 Thank you.
00:02:07.460 All right.
00:02:10.340 At first blush, I want to say I agree with the president on this.
00:02:16.060 Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory
00:02:21.260 and cannot be burdened with tremendous medical cost and disruptions
00:02:26.120 that, and I just take out transgender and put,
00:02:28.820 that anyone in the military would entail.
00:02:33.660 So, on the forefront, I want you to know,
00:02:37.680 I am not for anything that disrupts the military.
00:02:42.240 With that being said, let's start with this disruption.
00:02:47.020 Those tweets, this policy, shocked the Pentagon.
00:02:54.220 The Pentagon didn't know the president was going to say these things.
00:02:58.260 The Pentagon wasn't there.
00:03:00.640 They were shocked.
00:03:01.940 In fact, the Secretary of Defense was on vacation.
00:03:07.340 Why did this happen?
00:03:09.260 Why did he make this?
00:03:11.240 Well, Politico reported last night,
00:03:15.860 the House Republicans were planning on passing a spending bill
00:03:19.560 stacked with his campaign promises,
00:03:22.160 including money to build the border wall with Mexico,
00:03:24.600 but an internal House Republican fight over transgendered troops
00:03:29.080 was threatening to blow up the entire bill.
00:03:31.740 So, what happened?
00:03:34.160 The internal fighting between the frickin' GOP.
00:03:39.560 Let me just say this.
00:03:41.960 Defund the GOP.
00:03:44.940 The internal fighting
00:03:46.960 is what made Donald Trump say,
00:03:52.400 I'm just going to say this and tweet this out
00:03:55.040 and hope to get that bill passed.
00:03:58.180 Trump's sudden decision was in part a last-ditch attempt to save the House proposal,
00:04:05.060 full of his campaign promises that was on the verge of defeat,
00:04:08.740 numerous congressional and White House sources said.
00:04:12.600 Okay.
00:04:13.240 So, to get something else done,
00:04:18.020 he causes disruptions in the military.
00:04:21.300 The military has been studying this,
00:04:24.020 and they asked for more time.
00:04:26.320 They asked for everything,
00:04:28.880 any decision to be delayed
00:04:30.540 until, I think it's January 1st, 2018.
00:04:33.920 Now, I don't know about you,
00:04:36.760 but I don't hate anybody.
00:04:39.100 I don't care.
00:04:39.980 What you do
00:04:40.880 is your business.
00:04:43.540 What surgeries you want to have,
00:04:46.360 your business.
00:04:49.660 How you identify,
00:04:52.060 your business.
00:04:53.920 But the military
00:04:55.280 is in a special class.
00:04:57.680 It cannot be disrupted
00:05:00.840 from excellence.
00:05:04.020 It cannot be
00:05:05.320 a place
00:05:06.640 where anyone
00:05:07.640 gets special favors.
00:05:09.560 If you saw
00:05:10.720 the movie
00:05:11.820 Hacksaw Ridge,
00:05:13.440 they were brutal
00:05:14.720 to this kid
00:05:16.540 because he's going to get us all killed
00:05:18.240 because
00:05:18.680 he is somebody
00:05:20.280 who won't pick up a gun.
00:05:22.420 Okay.
00:05:23.000 Well, that didn't turn out
00:05:24.340 to be the case,
00:05:25.600 did it?
00:05:25.980 But he wasn't given
00:05:29.160 any special favors.
00:05:31.920 What he was promised
00:05:33.460 was what everyone
00:05:35.120 is promised.
00:05:36.400 If you're a conscientious objector,
00:05:39.320 we'll send you
00:05:40.380 to the front lines.
00:05:42.160 We don't recommend it.
00:05:43.720 We think you should leave
00:05:44.960 because there are people
00:05:46.160 with guns.
00:05:48.020 And we can't count on you,
00:05:50.500 so everybody
00:05:51.460 in the team
00:05:54.260 don't count on that guy
00:05:56.120 to save your life
00:05:56.960 because he ain't going to.
00:06:01.340 Okay.
00:06:02.820 Promised
00:06:03.260 in the Constitution.
00:06:08.900 But you have to hit
00:06:10.300 all of the standards.
00:06:12.080 So let me go through
00:06:13.120 this point by point.
00:06:16.280 First,
00:06:17.060 yesterday
00:06:17.560 it was announced
00:06:18.720 that we have
00:06:19.580 4,000
00:06:20.820 transgender people
00:06:22.020 in the military.
00:06:22.960 I don't think
00:06:24.880 that number
00:06:25.380 is true.
00:06:26.640 But let me play
00:06:27.640 this both ways.
00:06:29.060 Just think this
00:06:30.340 through logically.
00:06:33.480 That comes
00:06:34.280 from the RAND
00:06:35.080 Corporation.
00:06:35.860 And what the RAND
00:06:36.420 Corporation did
00:06:37.320 was just take
00:06:38.000 the general population
00:06:39.380 and then say,
00:06:41.140 this is how many
00:06:41.620 we have in the
00:06:42.180 general population
00:06:43.100 percentage-wise.
00:06:44.180 let's just put
00:06:46.060 that against
00:06:47.000 the military.
00:06:48.500 So that would
00:06:49.120 mean if it's
00:06:49.920 exactly the same
00:06:51.380 in the military
00:06:52.420 as it is
00:06:53.100 in the general
00:06:54.420 population,
00:06:55.380 there would be
00:06:56.120 4,000 people
00:06:57.240 serving.
00:06:59.040 We do know
00:07:00.660 that once
00:07:01.880 this transgendered
00:07:03.360 thing came out
00:07:04.820 from President Obama,
00:07:06.780 the military,
00:07:07.840 you were open
00:07:08.640 to come out
00:07:09.560 and say,
00:07:10.220 I'm transgendered.
00:07:11.500 only 10 people
00:07:14.500 raised their hands
00:07:16.280 in the entire
00:07:17.260 U.S. military
00:07:18.140 and said,
00:07:18.820 I'm transgendered.
00:07:20.500 Now,
00:07:21.400 I don't care
00:07:22.260 if it's 4,000
00:07:23.300 or 10,
00:07:24.680 what does that
00:07:25.420 tell you?
00:07:26.400 That tells you
00:07:27.620 that transgendered
00:07:29.080 people have been
00:07:30.020 serving in our
00:07:31.460 military
00:07:31.920 and they haven't
00:07:33.780 caused a disruption.
00:07:35.500 Because did you know
00:07:36.400 we had any
00:07:37.140 transgendered people
00:07:38.080 in the military?
00:07:38.640 I mean,
00:07:38.980 it's not something
00:07:39.700 I ever thought of.
00:07:41.820 It's kind of like,
00:07:42.520 you know,
00:07:42.700 the way I was
00:07:43.160 with gay people
00:07:43.900 in the military.
00:07:44.800 I don't know,
00:07:45.340 of course there were
00:07:46.300 gay people
00:07:47.000 in the military.
00:07:48.400 Gay people
00:07:49.320 have been,
00:07:50.120 you know,
00:07:50.840 presidents,
00:07:51.620 kings,
00:07:52.740 villains,
00:07:53.820 great guys,
00:07:56.040 you know,
00:07:56.880 fighting in the
00:07:58.760 opposition military
00:08:00.020 and fighting in ours
00:08:01.040 forever.
00:08:02.380 Of course there were
00:08:03.680 gay people
00:08:04.200 in the military.
00:08:05.200 And as long
00:08:06.420 as they're not
00:08:07.100 causing any
00:08:07.900 disruption
00:08:08.620 to the actual
00:08:10.640 job of the
00:08:11.740 military,
00:08:12.380 and I say that
00:08:12.940 about anybody,
00:08:13.920 as long as
00:08:14.860 your faith,
00:08:15.920 if there were a
00:08:16.280 group of Mormons
00:08:16.960 that were like,
00:08:17.440 you know what,
00:08:17.980 but I cannot
00:08:18.680 fight on Sunday.
00:08:21.000 Uh,
00:08:21.520 okay,
00:08:22.200 you're out,
00:08:22.920 dude.
00:08:24.200 Because there's
00:08:25.080 going to be
00:08:25.560 fighting on
00:08:26.480 Sundays.
00:08:29.420 So there are
00:08:30.300 10 people
00:08:30.980 that we know
00:08:31.560 of,
00:08:32.380 and they had
00:08:33.720 to self-identify.
00:08:36.160 So,
00:08:37.160 as long as
00:08:37.880 you can do
00:08:38.300 the job,
00:08:39.580 I'm good.
00:08:40.780 And I think
00:08:41.320 every fair-minded
00:08:42.420 American is
00:08:43.400 that way.
00:08:44.560 As long as
00:08:45.460 you can do
00:08:45.940 the job,
00:08:47.040 I'm okay.
00:08:48.360 As long as
00:08:49.400 you are not
00:08:50.280 asking for
00:08:51.200 any special
00:08:52.520 exemptions
00:08:53.520 or special
00:08:54.280 favors,
00:08:55.800 I am
00:08:56.340 good.
00:08:58.980 Next point.
00:09:00.300 Point number
00:09:00.780 one.
00:09:01.680 There are people
00:09:02.100 already doing
00:09:02.880 it.
00:09:03.260 We only know
00:09:03.940 of 10.
00:09:04.540 don't believe
00:09:05.540 the numbers.
00:09:06.500 It might be
00:09:07.380 more than
00:09:07.980 10,
00:09:08.760 but it's
00:09:09.740 not more
00:09:10.380 than 4,000.
00:09:12.300 Two.
00:09:13.320 I looked up
00:09:14.300 elective surgeries
00:09:15.260 that are
00:09:16.400 given to
00:09:18.280 vets and
00:09:19.280 soldiers.
00:09:21.400 Elective surgeries
00:09:22.180 are not covered
00:09:23.140 by the VA.
00:09:25.200 Life-saving
00:09:26.620 surgeries
00:09:27.960 are,
00:09:29.000 for instance,
00:09:30.560 liposuction.
00:09:31.220 liposuction is
00:09:33.520 not covered
00:09:34.540 by the VA
00:09:35.580 unless it
00:09:37.260 will save
00:09:37.880 your life.
00:09:39.080 Then the VA
00:09:39.680 covers it
00:09:40.340 and you'll
00:09:40.840 get liposuction.
00:09:42.220 But not
00:09:43.340 for everybody
00:09:44.600 who says,
00:09:45.180 I'm a little
00:09:45.740 fat.
00:09:48.180 So is
00:09:49.100 this a
00:09:50.200 life-saving
00:09:52.800 elective surgery?
00:09:54.980 No.
00:09:55.400 In fact,
00:09:57.040 the research
00:09:57.580 shows exactly
00:09:59.380 split at
00:10:00.520 best when
00:10:01.940 it comes to
00:10:02.460 suicide rate.
00:10:04.340 This is
00:10:04.880 gender
00:10:05.360 dysphoria.
00:10:07.220 Gender
00:10:07.660 dysphoria
00:10:08.320 means you
00:10:09.980 feel and
00:10:10.820 think one
00:10:12.000 way or the
00:10:12.740 other.
00:10:14.080 Okay,
00:10:14.960 where does
00:10:16.240 that end
00:10:17.060 in the first
00:10:17.740 place?
00:10:18.120 In
00:10:18.840 Canada,
00:10:19.660 they are
00:10:20.120 currently
00:10:20.660 dealing with
00:10:21.860 another
00:10:22.400 dysphoria
00:10:23.040 and that
00:10:24.000 is
00:10:24.340 capable
00:10:25.580 and
00:10:26.440 handicapped
00:10:27.460 dysphoria.
00:10:28.740 People are
00:10:29.460 going into
00:10:30.000 hospitals now
00:10:30.880 and saying,
00:10:32.340 and while I
00:10:32.840 can be
00:10:34.020 allowed to
00:10:34.540 say this,
00:10:35.400 I'm going
00:10:35.920 to,
00:10:36.700 it's sick.
00:10:38.300 They are
00:10:38.660 going in
00:10:39.220 and they're
00:10:39.500 saying,
00:10:40.020 I don't
00:10:40.500 feel fully
00:10:41.580 capable.
00:10:42.700 I have
00:10:43.320 always
00:10:43.920 identified
00:10:44.680 as a
00:10:46.320 person who
00:10:47.440 is
00:10:47.640 handicapped
00:10:48.420 who
00:10:49.160 only has
00:10:50.480 one leg
00:10:51.140 and they
00:10:52.560 are asking
00:10:53.080 doctors to
00:10:54.000 take off
00:10:55.260 a leg
00:10:55.920 because they
00:10:57.080 identify
00:10:58.060 as a
00:10:59.940 handicapped
00:11:00.700 person.
00:11:02.020 Any
00:11:02.820 doctor that
00:11:03.780 would perform
00:11:04.360 that is
00:11:05.120 insane and
00:11:06.540 needs to
00:11:07.060 lose their
00:11:07.460 license.
00:11:09.100 When it
00:11:10.120 comes to
00:11:10.820 gender
00:11:11.240 dysphoria,
00:11:13.500 okay,
00:11:15.360 is it
00:11:17.000 life-saving?
00:11:18.260 Meaning,
00:11:19.200 if you
00:11:19.820 want to
00:11:20.360 do that,
00:11:21.380 you can
00:11:22.020 pay for
00:11:22.580 it and
00:11:23.140 on your
00:11:23.560 own time
00:11:24.500 unless it's
00:11:25.880 life-saving.
00:11:26.840 I'm not
00:11:27.580 giving people
00:11:28.060 liposuction.
00:11:29.380 I'm not
00:11:30.060 giving them
00:11:30.400 plastic surgery.
00:11:32.200 But if it's
00:11:33.020 life-saving,
00:11:34.240 okay,
00:11:35.160 let's look
00:11:36.220 at life-saving.
00:11:38.540 46%
00:11:39.980 is the
00:11:41.040 suicide rate
00:11:42.020 for those
00:11:42.680 with gender
00:11:43.180 dysphoria.
00:11:45.720 46%.
00:11:46.440 So,
00:11:47.780 anybody,
00:11:48.420 A,
00:11:48.760 who doesn't
00:11:49.440 have empathy
00:11:50.160 and compassion
00:11:51.260 for those
00:11:52.360 people who
00:11:53.480 are struggling
00:11:55.240 with gender
00:11:56.440 dysphoria,
00:11:58.060 God help
00:11:58.620 you.
00:12:02.200 46%.
00:12:02.920 Now,
00:12:04.020 those who
00:12:04.480 have the
00:12:05.080 surgery,
00:12:06.420 what is
00:12:06.920 their suicide
00:12:07.580 rate?
00:12:08.060 the most
00:12:10.420 positive
00:12:12.400 suicide rate
00:12:14.140 study that
00:12:14.780 I can find
00:12:15.480 shows that
00:12:16.640 it is 46%
00:12:17.900 of those
00:12:18.400 who have
00:12:18.980 gender
00:12:19.320 dysphoria
00:12:19.780 commit suicide.
00:12:21.200 Those who
00:12:21.880 then go on
00:12:22.660 and have
00:12:23.060 the surgery,
00:12:24.180 45%
00:12:25.420 of those
00:12:26.360 commit suicide.
00:12:27.720 It's flat.
00:12:28.940 It is not
00:12:29.880 a life-saving
00:12:31.180 treatment.
00:12:34.360 Okay.
00:12:36.980 So,
00:12:38.060 elective
00:12:39.200 surgery
00:12:39.720 for
00:12:40.860 life-saving
00:12:42.500 treatment.
00:12:43.640 When you
00:12:44.480 look at
00:12:45.100 the younger
00:12:46.180 demographics,
00:12:48.320 people who
00:12:48.900 are 18
00:12:50.040 or below,
00:12:51.780 people who
00:12:52.160 are in
00:12:52.320 their 20s
00:12:52.960 and have
00:12:53.400 this surgery,
00:12:54.780 those numbers
00:12:55.460 begin to
00:12:56.040 shift and
00:12:56.980 the suicide
00:12:57.520 rate for
00:12:58.060 those who
00:12:58.480 have had
00:12:59.060 the surgery
00:12:59.700 actually goes
00:13:00.960 up.
00:13:02.320 So,
00:13:03.060 you could
00:13:03.480 make the
00:13:04.020 case that
00:13:04.580 this surgery
00:13:05.340 is not
00:13:06.260 life-saving
00:13:06.880 in some
00:13:07.700 groups,
00:13:08.300 it actually
00:13:09.000 kills you
00:13:09.820 faster.
00:13:12.300 Three,
00:13:13.940 can you
00:13:16.940 meet the
00:13:17.320 standards?
00:13:17.780 as long
00:13:21.360 as you
00:13:21.780 can meet
00:13:22.420 the
00:13:22.680 standards,
00:13:23.360 I don't
00:13:23.780 care.
00:13:24.720 And I
00:13:25.000 don't think
00:13:25.320 any American
00:13:25.920 cares.
00:13:28.320 But you
00:13:29.000 got to
00:13:29.240 climb that
00:13:29.780 wall.
00:13:30.640 You got to
00:13:31.380 carry that
00:13:31.940 pack.
00:13:33.420 You have
00:13:33.940 to be able
00:13:34.580 to protect
00:13:35.340 your brothers
00:13:35.940 in arms.
00:13:37.060 It's not
00:13:37.680 just your
00:13:38.500 life.
00:13:40.040 It is all
00:13:41.140 of our lives
00:13:41.960 and the
00:13:42.820 future of our
00:13:43.620 country and
00:13:44.300 our children.
00:13:45.000 anything the
00:13:46.980 government does,
00:13:48.760 the military
00:13:50.480 should be the
00:13:51.380 last place
00:13:52.800 culture changes
00:13:54.100 unless it
00:13:55.820 is a rape
00:13:56.700 culture.
00:13:58.000 Unless there
00:13:59.280 is actual
00:14:00.420 abuse going
00:14:02.040 on and
00:14:03.080 damage going
00:14:04.560 on because
00:14:05.640 of the
00:14:06.420 culture.
00:14:07.280 When it
00:14:07.940 comes to
00:14:08.760 new ideas
00:14:10.060 in the
00:14:10.720 culture,
00:14:11.380 new experiments
00:14:12.460 in the
00:14:13.120 culture,
00:14:13.440 the military
00:14:14.540 should be
00:14:15.020 exempt from
00:14:16.000 all of
00:14:16.700 that.
00:14:17.640 The only
00:14:18.500 question is
00:14:19.920 can you
00:14:20.620 perform the
00:14:21.620 duty?
00:14:23.460 My dad
00:14:24.500 wanted to
00:14:24.860 be in the
00:14:25.140 Marines
00:14:25.520 really,
00:14:26.780 really bad.
00:14:28.820 He wasn't
00:14:29.900 welcome.
00:14:31.680 My dad
00:14:32.420 somehow slipped
00:14:33.360 past the
00:14:34.100 doctors with
00:14:34.880 his flat
00:14:35.400 feet.
00:14:37.100 But my
00:14:37.980 dad stood
00:14:38.600 on a marble
00:14:39.480 floor in
00:14:40.720 our bakery.
00:14:41.760 It had
00:14:42.000 these old
00:14:42.980 marble floors.
00:14:44.020 Our bakery
00:14:44.460 used to be
00:14:45.600 the lobby
00:14:46.260 of an
00:14:46.560 old hotel.
00:14:48.900 And they
00:14:49.420 converted it
00:14:50.120 into a
00:14:50.660 bakery.
00:14:51.480 And then we
00:14:51.880 bought it.
00:14:52.440 My father
00:14:53.100 walked on
00:14:54.780 marble floors
00:14:55.680 his whole
00:14:56.160 life.
00:14:56.920 That man
00:14:57.400 stood all
00:14:59.300 day long
00:15:00.060 making cakes
00:15:01.460 and pastries
00:15:02.360 and everything
00:15:02.780 else.
00:15:03.860 And his
00:15:04.320 feet hurt.
00:15:06.080 He got
00:15:06.580 past the
00:15:07.600 screening
00:15:07.980 process to
00:15:09.200 get into
00:15:09.660 the
00:15:10.040 military.
00:15:11.840 Unfortunately,
00:15:13.000 the standing,
00:15:14.260 he said that
00:15:15.020 they had to
00:15:15.600 do something.
00:15:16.180 This is the
00:15:16.440 way I remember
00:15:16.920 the story as
00:15:17.440 a kid.
00:15:17.840 But the
00:15:18.100 story I
00:15:18.460 know is
00:15:18.740 they did
00:15:19.340 something where
00:15:19.920 they had to
00:15:20.320 stand on
00:15:20.800 one foot
00:15:21.320 for a while
00:15:21.920 and then
00:15:22.200 another foot
00:15:22.700 and he
00:15:23.080 could not
00:15:23.840 do it.
00:15:25.200 And he
00:15:26.000 was ejected.
00:15:27.860 Nowhere,
00:15:28.420 at no time,
00:15:29.360 have I ever
00:15:29.800 heard that
00:15:30.200 story in my
00:15:30.800 family on
00:15:31.460 that damn
00:15:32.340 military.
00:15:32.920 My dad
00:15:34.880 said they
00:15:35.400 had standards.
00:15:36.900 I couldn't
00:15:37.680 meet them.
00:15:38.840 And it was
00:15:39.220 one of the
00:15:39.540 biggest
00:15:39.760 disappointments
00:15:40.500 of my
00:15:40.800 life.
00:15:42.560 Hit the
00:15:43.180 standard and
00:15:44.460 everyone is
00:15:45.620 welcome.
00:15:46.940 Miss the
00:15:47.640 standard and
00:15:48.500 I don't care
00:15:49.060 who you are.
00:15:50.660 You're out.
00:15:53.520 Politically,
00:15:55.040 knock it
00:15:55.720 off.
00:15:57.540 GOP,
00:15:58.560 Donald Trump,
00:15:59.820 DNC,
00:16:01.280 knock it
00:16:02.080 off.
00:16:03.480 These people
00:16:04.600 work their
00:16:05.380 ass off and
00:16:06.480 put their
00:16:07.000 lives on the
00:16:08.200 line more
00:16:09.140 than me or
00:16:10.260 anyone in the
00:16:11.080 general population
00:16:11.900 and certainly
00:16:13.300 more than you
00:16:14.540 politicians.
00:16:16.460 They make
00:16:17.440 much less
00:16:18.320 money.
00:16:19.080 We give them
00:16:19.640 the absolute
00:16:20.500 worst medical
00:16:21.860 care.
00:16:22.820 After they have
00:16:24.000 fought and died
00:16:24.800 for us,
00:16:25.500 they're dying
00:16:26.540 in line at
00:16:27.760 our stupid
00:16:29.220 socialized
00:16:30.500 medicine
00:16:31.120 VA hospitals.
00:16:32.920 knock it
00:16:34.500 off.
00:16:35.700 Let the
00:16:36.140 military make
00:16:37.040 the military
00:16:37.860 decisions.
00:16:39.100 Period.
00:16:39.980 You want a
00:16:40.560 bill passed?
00:16:41.740 Get off your
00:16:42.440 fat ass and
00:16:43.780 go to
00:16:44.200 Capitol Hill and
00:16:45.520 actually get
00:16:46.400 them to pass
00:16:47.160 the bill on
00:16:48.100 its merits.
00:16:49.440 Do not use
00:16:50.660 our military as
00:16:52.120 a pawn or a
00:16:53.240 token.
00:16:54.160 Period.
00:16:54.600 Now this.
00:16:57.280 Our sponsor
00:16:57.860 this half
00:16:58.320 hour is
00:16:58.740 Delta
00:16:59.000 Defense.
00:17:00.220 You have
00:17:00.680 a right to
00:17:01.260 safeguard your
00:17:02.160 life.
00:17:03.580 Few more
00:17:04.100 fundamental
00:17:04.640 rights in
00:17:06.280 America are
00:17:07.100 this important.
00:17:09.880 Protecting
00:17:10.440 yourself,
00:17:10.940 protecting your
00:17:11.700 family.
00:17:12.700 The USCCA
00:17:13.680 knows that
00:17:14.840 there are two
00:17:15.540 kinds of bad
00:17:16.180 guys.
00:17:16.940 One comes
00:17:17.580 into your
00:17:17.900 house at
00:17:18.280 night and
00:17:19.020 tries to take
00:17:19.680 things from
00:17:20.220 you, from
00:17:20.640 your children,
00:17:21.260 to your
00:17:21.820 life, to
00:17:22.640 your TV
00:17:24.000 set.
00:17:25.000 And you
00:17:25.680 have a right
00:17:26.300 to protect
00:17:26.940 yourself and
00:17:27.580 your family.
00:17:29.260 But there's
00:17:29.620 another kind of
00:17:30.120 bad guy.
00:17:30.900 And that guy
00:17:31.440 comes dressed
00:17:32.420 as an
00:17:32.800 attorney.
00:17:34.100 The minute
00:17:34.740 you have
00:17:35.500 protected
00:17:36.100 yourself, the
00:17:37.480 attorneys will
00:17:38.160 do everything
00:17:38.800 they can because
00:17:40.060 they're trying to
00:17:41.240 make a
00:17:41.600 constitutional point
00:17:42.720 and trying to
00:17:43.720 hurt the
00:17:44.160 Second Amendment.
00:17:46.040 They'll make
00:17:46.860 your life a
00:17:47.700 living hell if
00:17:48.640 you've ever had
00:17:49.200 to defend
00:17:49.640 yourself.
00:17:50.120 You need
00:17:51.420 somebody in
00:17:52.180 your corner.
00:17:53.060 Who's going
00:17:53.420 to pay those
00:17:54.020 bills?
00:17:54.780 Who's going
00:17:55.100 to counsel?
00:17:55.740 Who's going
00:17:56.060 to represent
00:17:56.640 you?

00:18:32.760 Mercury.
00:18:36.700 The Glenn Beck
00:18:38.240 Program.
00:18:39.300 888-727-BECK.
00:18:41.420 So, here's a
00:18:43.760 problem.
00:18:48.900 Can you have
00:18:49.720 the government
00:18:50.200 pay for your
00:18:51.760 surgery?
00:18:52.320 For instance,
00:18:52.940 liposuction.
00:18:54.140 That is a
00:18:55.700 surgery that
00:18:56.600 Americans pay
00:18:58.280 for, that is
00:18:59.860 covered.
00:19:01.160 Okay.
00:19:01.940 But only if it
00:19:03.040 is life-saving.
00:19:04.320 We're talking
00:19:04.800 about medical
00:19:05.920 procedures, not
00:19:07.300 drugs, but
00:19:08.760 medical
00:19:09.340 procedures.
00:19:12.780 You cannot
00:19:13.820 get liposuction
00:19:15.160 while you're
00:19:16.480 currently serving
00:19:17.520 because you
00:19:20.420 wouldn't be able
00:19:21.620 to, if it was a
00:19:22.400 life-saving
00:19:23.220 procedure for you,
00:19:24.400 you'd be too fat
00:19:25.400 to wear the
00:19:25.920 uniform and to
00:19:27.140 walk around.
00:19:28.740 Now, maybe that
00:19:30.500 changes as you
00:19:31.520 go up in rank,
00:19:32.480 I don't know.
00:19:33.120 But that's
00:19:35.340 where I'm
00:19:35.980 comparing this.
00:19:37.600 If it's a
00:19:38.740 life-saving
00:19:39.440 procedure, okay.
00:19:41.800 If it's a
00:19:43.460 elective surgery,
00:19:45.100 you have to
00:19:45.920 pay for it.
00:19:47.500 And until
00:19:48.980 this surgery
00:19:49.560 is shown, it
00:19:50.260 is life-saving.
00:19:52.080 I don't know.
00:19:53.520 And then on
00:19:54.500 top of it,
00:19:56.060 can you go
00:19:58.460 through that
00:19:59.120 while you're
00:19:59.700 currently serving?
00:20:01.180 Have we done
00:20:01.720 any studies on
00:20:03.060 that?
00:20:03.680 That's like
00:20:04.060 liposuction.
00:20:05.200 If you're fat,
00:20:06.320 you're ejected,
00:20:07.440 get thin,
00:20:08.640 and then come
00:20:09.480 back.
00:20:10.580 Deal with your
00:20:11.400 issues and then
00:20:12.440 serve.
00:20:15.680 You're listening
00:20:16.620 to the Glenn Beck
00:20:17.520 program.
00:20:20.120 Mercury.
00:20:24.600 This is the
00:20:25.620 Glenn Beck
00:20:26.140 program.
00:20:27.780 All right, so
00:20:28.740 let's talk about
00:20:30.280 surgeries.
00:20:33.960 What you're
00:20:34.720 dealing with
00:20:35.500 in the
00:20:36.640 government and
00:20:38.560 what we're
00:20:38.960 dealing with
00:20:39.720 with the
00:20:40.100 military and
00:20:41.100 elective surgeries
00:20:41.960 and then also
00:20:43.700 in the general
00:20:45.560 population, I
00:20:46.560 want you to
00:20:47.220 understand what
00:20:48.760 is coming your
00:20:49.440 way.
00:20:49.880 Before I tell
00:20:50.760 you this, because
00:20:51.400 it's bad news,
00:20:52.660 before I tell
00:20:53.140 you this, on
00:20:53.940 tomorrow's program,
00:20:55.060 and I believe it's
00:20:55.620 at this time
00:20:56.280 tomorrow, right?
00:20:57.420 It's either hour
00:20:58.040 number one or
00:20:58.740 hour number two.
00:20:59.400 we have the
00:21:01.020 CEO of a
00:21:02.800 new kind of
00:21:03.820 insurance that
00:21:05.380 will help a
00:21:07.740 lot of people.
00:21:09.340 It was a
00:21:10.380 carve-out in
00:21:11.840 Obamacare, and
00:21:13.560 at this time
00:21:14.780 tomorrow, if you
00:21:16.260 are paying
00:21:17.020 exorbitant rates,
00:21:18.620 if you are
00:21:19.480 having problems
00:21:20.600 with insurance,
00:21:21.880 listen tomorrow
00:21:23.100 at this time,
00:21:24.680 we may have an
00:21:25.960 answer for you.
00:21:26.740 Now, let me
00:21:28.940 tell you what
00:21:29.340 we're headed
00:21:29.700 toward.
00:21:31.980 This is from
00:21:32.940 the NHS.
00:21:33.980 Now, this was
00:21:34.540 from last year.
00:21:36.960 The British
00:21:37.800 NHS, the
00:21:38.780 National Health
00:21:39.520 Service, this is
00:21:41.640 what we're headed
00:21:42.260 for, a single
00:21:43.320 payer system.
00:21:44.460 This is what
00:21:45.420 the VA is, and
00:21:46.620 this is why the
00:21:47.500 VA is so bad.
00:21:49.040 the socialized
00:21:52.540 health care
00:21:52.940 system, they
00:21:55.020 now said
00:21:56.740 that
00:21:58.140 in May of
00:22:00.500 last year,
00:22:01.660 they spent
00:22:02.500 $3.26
00:22:03.820 billion
00:22:04.580 more than
00:22:07.000 they actually
00:22:07.660 had.
00:22:08.340 That's hospitals,
00:22:09.580 clinics, and
00:22:10.280 doctors.
00:22:11.100 $3.26
00:22:12.600 billion.
00:22:13.260 So, if you
00:22:14.080 think you
00:22:14.820 can buy
00:22:15.640 the lie
00:22:16.480 that this
00:22:17.720 is going to
00:22:18.160 save everybody
00:22:19.060 money, you're
00:22:20.640 fooling yourself.
00:22:22.240 This is not
00:22:23.100 an answer.
00:22:24.580 This is another
00:22:25.780 prescription for
00:22:26.820 the death of
00:22:27.780 our country,
00:22:28.600 because it's
00:22:29.840 all just going
00:22:30.920 to be added
00:22:31.580 to our bill.
00:22:33.460 Please
00:22:34.220 remind
00:22:35.740 your
00:22:36.500 congressmen
00:22:37.980 and senators
00:22:38.740 that that
00:22:39.800 bill will
00:22:40.880 not go
00:22:42.120 away.
00:22:43.260 If we
00:22:44.360 don't pay
00:22:45.160 the Chinese
00:22:46.260 their money
00:22:47.740 back, if
00:22:49.000 we don't
00:22:49.520 pay people
00:22:50.300 their money
00:22:51.000 back, all
00:22:52.060 they will do
00:22:52.840 is claim our
00:22:54.180 land and
00:22:55.020 our resources.
00:22:56.520 They will
00:22:57.100 get their
00:22:57.680 money back.
00:23:00.260 In
00:23:01.020 North Yorkshire,
00:23:02.380 hospital leaders
00:23:03.180 have decided
00:23:03.840 now to
00:23:04.680 cut back
00:23:05.360 and not
00:23:06.000 provide hip
00:23:06.960 or knee
00:23:07.540 surgeries
00:23:08.100 to smokers
00:23:09.940 or those
00:23:11.640 with body
00:23:12.220 mass
00:23:12.600 indices
00:23:13.120 above
00:23:14.280 30.
00:23:14.920 So, if
00:23:15.940 you're
00:23:16.160 5'10
00:23:17.100 and have
00:23:18.640 a BMI
00:23:19.260 of 30,
00:23:21.040 that means
00:23:21.860 you weigh
00:23:22.400 209 pounds.
00:23:24.500 If you're
00:23:25.300 5'5
00:23:26.460 and you
00:23:29.340 weigh
00:23:29.660 180 pounds,
00:23:31.900 you're not
00:23:32.520 allowed to
00:23:33.040 have surgery.
00:23:34.860 Why are they
00:23:35.680 doing this?
00:23:36.280 Yes, in
00:23:37.320 England.
00:23:39.140 Listen to
00:23:39.940 this.
00:23:40.660 Major
00:23:40.940 surgeries pose
00:23:41.920 high risks
00:23:42.620 for severely
00:23:43.860 overweight
00:23:44.740 patients and
00:23:46.220 those who
00:23:46.680 smoke.
00:23:47.420 Is somebody
00:23:48.120 who is 5'5
00:23:48.960 and 180
00:23:49.660 pounds severely
00:23:50.920 overweight?
00:23:52.640 Who's
00:23:53.240 defining
00:23:53.760 severely
00:23:54.920 overweight?
00:23:55.600 the NHS
00:23:57.720 has for
00:23:58.980 decades
00:23:59.740 had a
00:24:01.320 waiting list.
00:24:04.100 Let me
00:24:04.440 tell you
00:24:04.820 what's
00:24:05.100 happening
00:24:05.460 and this
00:24:06.360 is before
00:24:07.000 it really
00:24:07.980 begins to
00:24:08.660 collapse.
00:24:10.140 NHS
00:24:10.420 doctors
00:24:11.120 routinely,
00:24:12.120 this is all
00:24:12.740 backed up
00:24:13.260 with facts,
00:24:13.820 this is from
00:24:14.200 Forbes
00:24:14.640 magazine,
00:24:16.260 NHS
00:24:16.520 doctors
00:24:17.280 routinely
00:24:18.040 conceal
00:24:18.660 from patients
00:24:19.380 information
00:24:20.100 about innovative
00:24:21.080 new therapies
00:24:21.880 that the
00:24:22.800 NHS does
00:24:23.580 not pay
00:24:24.100 for as
00:24:25.080 to not
00:24:25.540 distress,
00:24:26.860 upset or
00:24:27.700 confuse
00:24:28.380 them.
00:24:29.160 Does Charlie
00:24:29.660 Gard come
00:24:30.160 to mind?
00:24:32.080 Terminally
00:24:32.400 ill patients
00:24:34.040 are now
00:24:34.980 classified as
00:24:36.240 quote,
00:24:37.060 close to
00:24:37.840 death.
00:24:39.140 So the
00:24:40.040 NHS does
00:24:40.920 not have
00:24:41.740 to provide
00:24:42.380 any kind
00:24:43.320 of life
00:24:44.860 support or
00:24:45.880 end of
00:24:47.100 life
00:24:47.620 benefits.
00:24:50.160 wouldn't
00:24:51.540 this be
00:24:51.800 the very
00:24:52.120 definition
00:24:52.760 of death
00:24:53.200 panels?
00:24:53.700 Yes,
00:24:53.980 it is.
00:24:54.600 It is.
00:24:54.980 It's just
00:24:55.280 the beginning
00:24:55.820 when you're
00:24:56.680 saying if
00:24:57.980 you are
00:24:58.480 having hip
00:24:59.280 surgery and
00:25:00.460 you smoke
00:25:01.980 or you
00:25:02.880 are horribly
00:25:04.140 overweight,
00:25:05.820 all they have
00:25:06.380 to do is
00:25:07.000 just,
00:25:07.360 if you think
00:25:07.860 there's going
00:25:08.200 to be like,
00:25:08.660 oh,
00:25:08.820 well,
00:25:09.060 that 180
00:25:09.780 scientifically,
00:25:10.700 that was
00:25:11.700 the number.
00:25:12.980 No,
00:25:13.520 the only number
00:25:14.600 that they care
00:25:15.260 about is
00:25:15.860 3.26
00:25:17.060 billion.
00:25:18.260 That's it.
00:25:19.260 So if
00:25:20.000 everybody
00:25:20.620 got their
00:25:21.280 weight under
00:25:22.500 30 of
00:25:23.640 the BMI,
00:25:24.620 they will
00:25:25.220 reduce it
00:25:26.000 and say
00:25:26.540 only those
00:25:27.540 who have
00:25:28.080 a BMI
00:25:28.680 of 25.
00:25:30.980 NHS
00:25:31.660 expert
00:25:32.300 guidelines on
00:25:33.140 the management
00:25:33.660 of high
00:25:34.120 cholesterol
00:25:34.580 are intentionally
00:25:36.240 out of date,
00:25:37.980 putting
00:25:38.620 patients at
00:25:39.740 serious risk
00:25:41.020 to save
00:25:42.340 the NHS
00:25:42.940 money.
00:25:44.380 When the
00:25:45.380 government
00:25:45.640 approved an
00:25:46.400 innovative new
00:25:47.220 treatment for
00:25:47.800 elderly blindness,
00:25:48.780 the NHS
00:25:49.900 initially decided
00:25:51.220 to reimburse
00:25:51.880 for the
00:25:52.340 treatment only
00:25:53.560 after the
00:25:54.340 patients were
00:25:55.020 blind in
00:25:55.860 one eye
00:25:56.640 and reclassifying
00:25:59.000 blindness as
00:26:00.120 someone who
00:26:00.620 didn't have
00:26:01.100 sight in
00:26:01.900 both eyes.
00:26:04.660 While most
00:26:05.900 NHS patients
00:26:06.940 expect to
00:26:08.480 wait five
00:26:09.440 months for a
00:26:10.100 hip operation
00:26:10.700 or knee
00:26:11.180 surgery,
00:26:11.720 leaving them
00:26:12.200 immobile or
00:26:13.040 disabled,
00:26:13.460 the actual
00:26:14.800 waiting list.
00:26:16.620 So,
00:26:17.400 you got your
00:26:18.340 BMI under
00:26:19.200 30.
00:26:20.820 Now,
00:26:21.620 you're put on
00:26:22.060 a waiting
00:26:22.500 list.
00:26:23.900 You have
00:26:24.300 11 months
00:26:25.260 to wait
00:26:25.820 for a
00:26:26.740 hip,
00:26:27.460 12 months
00:26:28.500 to wait
00:26:28.980 for a
00:26:29.380 knee.
00:26:30.080 That compares
00:26:31.040 in the United
00:26:31.660 States to
00:26:32.340 this broken
00:26:32.960 awful system
00:26:33.860 of three
00:26:34.980 to four
00:26:35.580 weeks for
00:26:36.880 both hips
00:26:37.480 and knees.
00:26:38.240 one in
00:26:40.320 four Britons
00:26:41.280 with cancer
00:26:42.520 are denied
00:26:43.960 treatment
00:26:44.780 with the
00:26:45.960 latest drugs
00:26:46.860 proven to
00:26:47.960 extend their
00:26:48.540 life.
00:26:49.440 One in
00:26:50.020 four.
00:26:51.460 Those who
00:26:52.000 seek to pay
00:26:52.540 for such
00:26:52.980 drugs on
00:26:53.500 their own
00:26:53.980 are expelled
00:26:55.220 from the
00:26:56.140 system for
00:26:57.420 making the
00:26:57.980 government look
00:26:58.680 bad.
00:26:59.420 They're forced
00:26:59.860 to pay for
00:27:00.860 the entirety
00:27:02.100 of the rest
00:27:04.320 for the rest
00:27:05.120 of their lives
00:27:05.940 of all costs.
00:27:07.560 so you
00:27:08.880 can't say
00:27:09.720 okay well
00:27:10.340 I'll pay
00:27:10.960 for that.
00:27:11.800 You guys
00:27:12.060 just pay
00:27:12.440 for what's
00:27:12.900 covered.
00:27:13.680 If you
00:27:14.440 say I'm
00:27:15.280 going to
00:27:15.500 pay for
00:27:15.940 this drug
00:27:16.720 myself,
00:27:18.240 you are
00:27:18.600 then spit
00:27:19.260 out of the
00:27:19.760 system and
00:27:20.740 you must
00:27:21.200 pay every
00:27:21.900 dime for
00:27:22.780 everything you
00:27:23.560 do for
00:27:24.260 the rest
00:27:24.700 of your
00:27:25.000 life.
00:27:26.960 A Britons
00:27:27.360 diagnosed with
00:27:28.020 cancer and
00:27:28.600 heart attacks
00:27:29.180 are more
00:27:29.700 likely to
00:27:30.280 die and
00:27:30.840 more quickly
00:27:31.520 than those
00:27:32.140 in other
00:27:32.680 developed
00:27:33.140 nations.
00:27:34.220 Britain's
00:27:34.520 survival rates
00:27:35.240 for heart
00:27:36.020 disease and
00:27:36.880 cancer
00:27:37.420 are little
00:27:38.560 better than
00:27:39.660 former
00:27:40.220 communist
00:27:40.820 countries.
00:27:43.600 That's
00:27:44.280 where we're
00:27:45.120 headed gang.
00:27:47.380 So what
00:27:48.380 did Congress
00:27:49.020 do yesterday?
00:27:51.380 They didn't
00:27:52.440 call for a
00:27:53.680 full repeal of
00:27:54.820 this socialized
00:27:55.860 medicine that
00:27:56.640 we're headed
00:27:57.060 towards.
00:27:57.580 This is what
00:27:58.580 we're going
00:27:59.140 to get
00:27:59.600 because the
00:28:00.980 system that
00:28:02.140 we have
00:28:02.940 under the
00:28:03.460 ACA does
00:28:04.540 not work.
00:28:06.560 Okay, so
00:28:07.460 what do we
00:28:07.760 do?
00:28:09.320 Common sense
00:28:10.160 would tell
00:28:10.600 us let's
00:28:12.440 super serve
00:28:13.520 the people
00:28:14.660 that we
00:28:15.220 have.
00:28:16.160 You're
00:28:16.840 between jobs
00:28:17.820 and you
00:28:18.320 have no
00:28:19.320 insurance and
00:28:20.140 your company
00:28:20.820 has gone out
00:28:21.860 of business
00:28:22.380 so there is
00:28:23.320 no COBRA.
00:28:25.040 Okay, let's
00:28:26.600 make it easy
00:28:27.300 to get on to
00:28:28.260 Medicare or
00:28:29.120 Medicaid
00:28:29.560 right now
00:28:31.160 so you can
00:28:32.520 get into
00:28:33.200 the system
00:28:33.740 and have
00:28:34.600 that bridge
00:28:35.300 of four or
00:28:35.900 five months
00:28:36.460 while you're
00:28:37.100 unemployed.
00:28:37.880 The minute
00:28:38.640 you're employed
00:28:39.460 and your
00:28:40.040 health care
00:28:40.500 system kicks
00:28:41.720 in, you're
00:28:42.600 out.
00:28:44.320 Why is it
00:28:45.260 so hard to
00:28:45.700 do that?
00:28:47.040 If you
00:28:47.960 have a
00:28:48.360 pre-existing
00:28:48.900 condition and
00:28:50.160 no one will
00:28:51.060 cover this,
00:28:52.920 then you
00:28:54.000 can get on
00:28:54.640 to Medicare
00:28:55.160 or Medicaid
00:28:55.800 and you can
00:28:56.800 get that
00:28:57.720 treatment that
00:28:59.060 you need.
00:29:01.360 Not
00:29:01.960 experimental
00:29:02.700 because we
00:29:04.320 can't afford
00:29:04.980 it.
00:29:06.620 But we
00:29:07.420 must be
00:29:08.360 able to do
00:29:09.240 experiments.
00:29:10.560 We must be
00:29:11.240 able to
00:29:11.680 develop new
00:29:12.320 medicines and
00:29:13.300 the only way
00:29:13.960 to do that
00:29:14.500 is with a
00:29:15.000 free market.
00:29:16.580 There's no
00:29:17.000 new medicines
00:29:17.620 for cancer
00:29:18.260 coming out of
00:29:18.900 Great Britain
00:29:19.400 because they
00:29:20.460 won't pay
00:29:21.140 for them.
00:29:23.800 If we go
00:29:24.820 to a single
00:29:25.480 payer system,
00:29:26.540 you won't
00:29:27.380 pay for
00:29:28.620 experimental
00:29:29.540 treatments
00:29:30.220 because there
00:29:31.160 will be no
00:29:31.980 one to
00:29:32.560 pay for
00:29:33.180 it.
00:29:36.760 We know
00:29:37.560 that there
00:29:37.880 are people
00:29:38.340 that are
00:29:38.660 clogging up
00:29:39.160 there.
00:29:39.340 Nobody's
00:29:39.660 dying on
00:29:39.940 the streets
00:29:40.260 here.
00:29:41.240 We know
00:29:41.900 that there
00:29:42.180 are people
00:29:42.480 that are
00:29:42.760 clogging
00:29:43.220 up the
00:29:44.140 hospitals,
00:29:45.180 the ERs,
00:29:45.860 because they're
00:29:46.200 using those
00:29:47.080 as clinics.
00:29:48.520 Good.
00:29:49.320 Let's get
00:29:50.120 them Medicare
00:29:51.580 coverage,
00:29:53.420 not at the
00:29:54.000 hospitals unless
00:29:55.040 it's an
00:29:55.460 emergency,
00:29:55.920 but instead
00:29:56.980 at an
00:29:57.900 urgent care
00:29:58.660 center,
00:29:59.560 at a
00:29:59.880 clinic in
00:30:02.080 our towns.
00:30:03.320 Let's get
00:30:04.220 that done
00:30:05.100 and provide
00:30:06.120 them clean,
00:30:07.120 good,
00:30:08.040 basic care.
00:30:09.660 These problems
00:30:10.660 are really
00:30:11.340 easy, but
00:30:12.540 what they're
00:30:12.900 trying to do
00:30:13.760 is they're
00:30:14.900 trying to
00:30:15.440 make themselves
00:30:16.320 rich,
00:30:17.320 they're trying
00:30:17.780 to make
00:30:18.240 themselves
00:30:18.780 powerful,
00:30:20.000 and they're
00:30:20.460 trying to
00:30:21.520 fix problems
00:30:24.120 that don't
00:30:25.100 exist.
00:30:26.180 And by
00:30:26.480 doing that,
00:30:28.280 what they're
00:30:28.760 doing is
00:30:29.340 they're causing
00:30:29.880 more problems,
00:30:31.660 and they're
00:30:32.020 causing your
00:30:32.720 premiums to
00:30:33.520 go up.
00:30:34.140 They're causing
00:30:34.600 your deductible
00:30:35.500 to be
00:30:35.980 absolutely
00:30:36.780 outrageous.
00:30:38.060 Let's see,
00:30:38.560 I can pay
00:30:39.020 $1,500,
00:30:40.640 and then,
00:30:41.780 I can pay
00:30:42.580 that every
00:30:42.980 month,
00:30:43.480 and then,
00:30:44.580 if I spend
00:30:46.100 more than
00:30:46.800 $10,000,
00:30:48.320 then it'll
00:30:49.580 kick in.
00:30:50.320 So I've
00:30:50.820 got to pay
00:30:51.640 $1,500 a
00:30:53.600 month,
00:30:54.220 plus the
00:30:55.440 $10,000 of
00:30:57.140 medical cost.
00:30:58.420 I don't have
00:30:59.000 the money to
00:30:59.640 go take my
00:31:00.220 kid to go
00:31:00.800 have an ear
00:31:01.680 infection treated,
00:31:03.320 because I'm
00:31:03.860 spending it on
00:31:04.480 the $1,500 a
00:31:06.520 month for in
00:31:07.720 case they have
00:31:08.480 cancer or a
00:31:09.420 broken leg.
00:31:10.900 And I don't
00:31:11.260 even know if a
00:31:11.780 broken leg would
00:31:12.640 fit into that
00:31:14.500 at $10,000 if I
00:31:15.800 haven't spent
00:31:16.420 anything.
00:31:17.400 It's almost
00:31:17.840 like kids.
00:31:18.840 I need everybody
00:31:19.560 to break an arm
00:31:20.500 January 1st.
00:31:21.840 We're all going
00:31:22.500 to the hospital.
00:31:23.600 I mean,
00:31:24.700 it's crazy.
00:31:25.840 It's absolutely
00:31:26.940 crazy.
00:31:29.280 There is a
00:31:30.280 solution.
00:31:31.560 Tomorrow on
00:31:32.160 this program,
00:31:32.720 we're going to
00:31:33.160 show you
00:31:33.780 somebody who
00:31:35.060 has started a
00:31:35.860 company for a
00:31:37.080 carve-out,
00:31:37.980 and it might
00:31:39.080 help save your
00:31:39.960 family a lot of
00:31:40.840 money, and we'll
00:31:41.340 do that on
00:31:42.080 tomorrow's program.
00:31:43.500 In 15 minutes,
00:31:44.840 I'm going to
00:31:45.360 give you another
00:31:45.980 solution, one
00:31:47.960 that the
00:31:48.280 politicians won't
00:31:49.280 like, but it's
00:31:50.540 high time we
00:31:51.800 make up our
00:31:52.540 mind.
00:31:53.760 Also, at the
00:31:54.620 end of the
00:31:55.160 program, the
00:31:57.560 last hour, is
00:31:58.540 the author of
00:31:59.560 Friction.
00:32:00.760 This is an
00:32:01.580 incredible book
00:32:03.140 that I think can
00:32:04.060 be applied not
00:32:05.840 just in business,
00:32:06.720 but all over.
00:32:07.360 But if you are a
00:32:08.460 business person, you
00:32:09.540 are a manager, you
00:32:11.040 own your own
00:32:11.800 company, you are
00:32:14.260 running your own
00:32:15.460 family, I want you
00:32:17.540 to read this book
00:32:18.240 Friction.
00:32:19.160 The author is on
00:32:20.260 with us in hour
00:32:21.880 number three.
00:32:23.000 I had dinner with
00:32:23.820 him last night.
00:32:24.540 He is fascinating,
00:32:25.840 and I think we'll
00:32:27.220 really be able to
00:32:27.880 help you out,
00:32:28.440 especially if you
00:32:29.400 run a business or
00:32:30.660 manage a business.
00:32:33.220 All coming up
00:32:34.180 right now,
00:32:35.140 Simply Safe.
00:32:36.740 Burglars love
00:32:38.400 this time of year
00:32:39.340 because you're gone
00:32:40.320 on vacation.
00:32:41.740 You're at an
00:32:42.360 amusement park with
00:32:43.180 the kids.
00:32:43.880 You know that
00:32:44.340 burglars usually
00:32:45.220 don't come at night,
00:32:46.020 and especially
00:32:47.740 Texas because
00:32:48.620 they know usually
00:32:50.060 somebody has a
00:32:50.820 gun at home.
00:32:52.240 They don't want
00:32:52.640 to run into you
00:32:53.320 just like you
00:32:53.780 don't want to
00:32:54.100 run into them.
00:32:54.920 They are not
00:32:55.680 looking for an
00:32:56.380 encounter with
00:32:57.100 you.
00:32:57.820 If somebody comes
00:32:58.840 into your house
00:32:59.480 at night, they
00:33:01.440 either don't know
00:33:02.660 that you're home
00:33:03.360 or they have much
00:33:05.520 worse intent than
00:33:07.340 just stealing
00:33:08.320 something.
00:33:09.160 So they love it.
00:33:09.860 You go on vacation
00:33:10.640 or you go take the
00:33:11.500 kids out to the
00:33:12.500 amusement park, that's
00:33:13.920 when your home is
00:33:14.600 empty and it's
00:33:15.280 most vulnerable
00:33:15.980 during the day.
00:33:17.640 SimpliSafe is

00:34:44.580 Hello, America.
00:34:46.240 I'm so glad you're here.
00:34:48.980 Let's look at, is there
00:34:50.060 anything fun to, you
00:34:53.420 know, talk about here in
00:34:54.380 the remaining minutes of
00:34:55.380 this hour?
00:34:55.680 No, no, there's not
00:34:56.580 anything fun at all.
00:34:57.660 I was looking at this
00:34:58.720 weight chart that's got
00:35:01.360 healthy weight, overweight
00:35:02.720 and obese for BMI.
00:35:04.540 You know, the lowest
00:35:05.420 weight I've ever been in
00:35:06.480 my life, the lowest
00:35:07.700 weight, I'm still
00:35:09.340 overweight.
00:35:10.960 What was the lowest
00:35:11.780 weight?
00:35:12.040 How tall are you?
00:35:13.520 6'2", 6'1".
00:35:14.860 So what was the lowest
00:35:16.320 weight you've ever been
00:35:17.120 at?
00:35:18.860 200.
00:35:19.780 200.
00:35:20.420 That's the lowest
00:35:20.960 weight.
00:35:21.380 Is that when you were
00:35:22.000 born?
00:35:22.680 Yes.
00:35:22.980 So you should have
00:35:24.020 been born at
00:35:25.520 overweight.
00:35:26.660 That's correct.
00:35:27.000 200.
00:35:28.920 And you were a
00:35:30.020 football player.
00:35:30.740 I was.
00:35:31.500 Okay, so at 200.
00:35:33.260 But that's not, I
00:35:34.080 wasn't that weight when
00:35:34.820 I was playing football.
00:35:36.400 Okay.
00:35:36.820 At 200 pounds, that
00:35:37.740 was with the help of
00:35:38.880 cocaine?
00:35:41.460 That was part of it.
00:35:43.960 Okay.
00:35:45.140 So what does it say
00:35:46.640 you should be?
00:35:47.840 160?
00:35:48.320 No, that's right
00:35:48.800 around, yeah, well,
00:35:50.000 180, 186, 190.
00:35:53.400 Okay, so I'm, okay,
00:35:55.260 because my lowest
00:35:56.220 weight was 180, and
00:35:58.000 that's when I was a
00:35:58.680 kid, and I looked like
00:36:00.140 a stick.
00:36:00.960 And they say that's
00:36:01.740 to your healthy.
00:36:02.500 Yeah.
00:36:02.880 When I was on CNN,
00:36:06.080 and then after I left
00:36:08.120 Fox, my weight was
00:36:10.380 205, and every time
00:36:13.200 people met me in
00:36:14.720 person, they were
00:36:15.200 like, good God, man,
00:36:16.580 have a sandwich.
00:36:18.020 Yeah, there's a way
00:36:18.880 that we have, I mean,
00:36:19.800 we have several pictures
00:36:20.580 of you during the CNN
00:36:21.700 days, pre-CNN headline
00:36:23.440 news days.
00:36:24.100 Yeah, and it was, it
00:36:25.000 was, yeah, real thin,
00:36:27.120 and everybody would say
00:36:29.460 you got to, don't,
00:36:30.540 you're not losing any
00:36:31.220 more weight because you
00:36:31.980 are, are you sick?
00:36:33.620 That's when you believed
00:36:34.400 that because you were on
00:36:35.580 TV, you needed to be
00:36:36.420 thin.
00:36:36.820 Yeah, I know.
00:36:37.560 I've so long since
00:36:38.780 lost that.
00:36:39.580 But, but here's the
00:36:40.300 thing, that's at 205,
00:36:43.140 180 to 190 is where
00:36:45.660 I'm, quote, healthy.
00:36:46.740 Right.
00:36:47.160 I don't know how
00:36:47.600 you have any muscle
00:36:48.480 mass at 180 and 6'2".
00:36:51.780 I mean, that's crazy.
00:36:54.040 But this is the
00:36:55.360 beginning of the
00:36:56.140 rationing.
00:36:57.560 Again, in Britain,
00:37:00.380 you're 5'5 and 180
00:37:03.720 pounds.
00:37:04.360 You ain't getting
00:37:04.780 surgery because you're
00:37:07.300 obese.
00:37:07.980 Right.
00:37:08.480 And we can't afford
00:37:09.620 you because you may
00:37:10.620 not make it.
00:37:12.440 This is the Glenn
00:37:14.280 Beck Program.
00:37:15.400 Mercury.
00:37:31.540 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:37:36.220 On demand.
00:37:37.120 Hello, America.
00:37:40.860 Welcome to the
00:37:41.400 Glenn Beck Program.
00:37:42.300 So glad that you're
00:37:42.880 here today.
00:37:43.920 I want to start on
00:37:45.600 what's happening in the
00:37:47.020 Senate with Obamacare.
00:37:48.920 And I don't care about
00:37:50.580 the players.
00:37:51.360 I don't care who's on
00:37:52.460 board, who's not on
00:37:53.420 board.
00:37:53.920 I don't care about any
00:37:54.780 of that because that
00:37:56.120 doesn't affect my life and
00:37:57.180 I don't think it affects
00:37:57.920 yours.
00:38:00.000 What they're doing or
00:38:02.440 failing to do actually
00:38:04.320 does affect your life.
00:38:06.680 So what do we do besides
00:38:08.200 just look at this
00:38:09.640 information rolling out
00:38:10.820 in the news and get
00:38:11.700 pissed off about it?
00:38:13.100 We begin there right
00:38:14.100 now.
00:38:14.380 I will make a stand.
00:38:17.880 I will raise my voice.
00:38:20.060 I will hold your hand.
00:38:22.480 Because we are one.
00:38:24.300 I will beat my drum.
00:38:26.520 I have made my choice.
00:38:28.780 We will overcome.
00:38:30.180 Because we are one.
00:38:32.860 The fusion of
00:38:34.220 entertainment and
00:38:35.540 enlightenment.
00:38:36.940 This is the Glenn Beck
00:38:39.480 Program.
00:38:43.520 So here's the headline
00:38:45.180 today.
00:38:45.600 Trump urges the GOP
00:38:47.020 senators to pass skinny
00:38:48.860 Obamacare repeal bill.
00:38:51.420 What does this mean?
00:38:52.720 This means that they have
00:38:54.440 tried for several times to
00:38:56.540 pass any kind of health
00:38:58.400 care reform and they
00:39:01.040 can't get anybody to
00:39:02.160 agree on it.
00:39:03.660 And so now they're
00:39:04.520 saying okay let's just
00:39:05.920 repeal just a couple of
00:39:07.040 parts of it.
00:39:07.980 And today is the day.
00:39:10.280 This morning President
00:39:11.960 Obama tweeted to the
00:39:14.300 GOP.
00:39:15.140 Is he still president or
00:39:16.120 did he come back?
00:39:16.980 I may have missed a
00:39:18.060 headline.
00:39:18.480 He's still president.
00:39:19.400 Here it is.
00:39:20.380 You said President
00:39:21.980 Obama.
00:39:22.720 I know it's added.
00:39:23.680 President Trump.
00:39:24.840 Senate Republicans
00:39:25.880 begin their final push
00:39:27.200 today to unravel.
00:39:29.520 This is a seven-year
00:39:31.380 offensive.
00:39:34.200 Emphasis on the word
00:39:35.260 offensive that takes all
00:39:36.740 kinds of meaning in this
00:39:38.480 story.
00:39:39.840 They hope that a pared-down
00:39:41.920 skinny bill which will
00:39:44.280 repeal several Obamacare
00:39:45.920 provisions can gain enough
00:39:47.960 support.
00:39:49.360 Several times they have
00:39:51.060 voted this week.
00:39:52.820 Senate yesterday rejected
00:39:54.160 45-55 a straight repeal of
00:39:56.620 Obamacare with a two-year
00:39:58.360 delay in implementation to
00:40:00.400 allow Congress to work out
00:40:01.580 a replacement.
00:40:02.620 That is what they promised
00:40:04.020 in 2015.
00:40:05.780 Seven Republicans opposed the
00:40:07.840 measure which was going to
00:40:08.880 be pushed by party
00:40:10.180 leadership.
00:40:11.480 Trump sent this out today.
00:40:14.480 Come on, Republican senators.
00:40:21.320 You can do it.
00:40:22.960 You can make a move on
00:40:24.500 health care.
00:40:25.620 After seven years, this is
00:40:27.260 your chance to shine.
00:40:29.080 Don't let the American people
00:40:30.380 down.
00:40:31.620 What is he saying there?
00:40:38.100 I'm going to explain this
00:40:39.920 through a personal story.
00:40:41.700 Nobody in Washington seems to
00:40:47.760 be working for us.
00:40:50.100 Nobody is actually engaged
00:40:52.100 working for you.
00:40:54.100 The one that they asked you
00:40:55.740 to not only vote, but they
00:40:58.380 asked you to go and convince
00:40:59.420 your friends.
00:41:00.300 They got you so wrapped up in
00:41:02.880 it, no matter which side
00:41:03.960 you're on, that you have lost
00:41:06.100 friends and in some cases
00:41:07.660 family members.
00:41:08.780 You have done so much work
00:41:11.660 and carried so much water
00:41:12.880 because you truly believed
00:41:15.480 that this group of people,
00:41:17.720 whichever side, that these
00:41:20.300 people would do everything
00:41:22.500 they can because they asked
00:41:23.960 you, do everything you can.
00:41:27.180 I want you to go get friends.
00:41:28.500 I want you to drive people
00:41:29.740 to the election.
00:41:30.460 I want you to talk to people.
00:41:31.800 I want you to convince them.
00:41:33.480 And people did to the point
00:41:35.500 where we can't even talk to
00:41:37.760 each other anymore.
00:41:41.560 None of them are working
00:41:42.580 for you.
00:41:46.100 And what's happening in
00:41:47.600 Washington, D.C.
00:41:48.400 right now is a prime example.
00:41:51.780 And no one is holding them
00:41:53.120 accountable.
00:41:53.900 There is no accountability.
00:41:57.060 So let me tell you my story.
00:42:00.160 A few years ago, I started
00:42:02.260 the blaze.
00:42:04.440 And without getting into
00:42:05.920 all the details, I knew
00:42:07.800 we had a problem when
00:42:09.940 the leader of the company
00:42:12.040 said to me in a phone
00:42:14.440 conversation, I said,
00:42:16.480 you're just going after clicks.
00:42:18.580 You're just trying to drive
00:42:19.800 ratings.
00:42:20.540 I don't understand that.
00:42:22.140 That's not what we stand for.
00:42:24.160 What are our principles?
00:42:25.640 And I was told, Glenn, quote,
00:42:28.000 nobody gives an F about
00:42:30.600 your effing principles.
00:42:32.460 And I paused.
00:42:33.980 And I said, you realize
00:42:35.460 who you just said that to?
00:42:37.420 Yes.
00:42:39.620 I knew at that point
00:42:41.320 my company was beyond
00:42:43.100 repair.
00:42:45.460 But I hoped.
00:42:48.800 So what I did is I tried
00:42:50.580 to clean house with as little
00:42:52.140 as I could.
00:42:53.900 But it was pretty infested.
00:42:55.840 And I don't mean just with
00:42:57.400 people.
00:42:57.900 I mean with policies and
00:42:59.580 and and riddled with
00:43:02.000 debt and everything else.
00:43:05.260 I should have shut it down
00:43:07.700 and started over.
00:43:09.520 But people entrusted me.
00:43:12.640 And I had failed them.
00:43:14.340 And I wasn't going to fail.
00:43:16.220 So I went and I looked
00:43:17.320 for strong people in our
00:43:19.540 own staff.
00:43:21.560 That could help.
00:43:23.880 A year later, I have
00:43:25.800 a meeting with one of
00:43:27.340 the new executives.
00:43:31.120 And I had a meeting
00:43:33.080 for about an hour
00:43:33.860 on a project that
00:43:35.100 I thought we should do.
00:43:37.460 But I wasn't running
00:43:38.680 the company.
00:43:39.400 I was only a
00:43:40.800 one of the voices
00:43:42.060 in the company that
00:43:43.080 as an investor,
00:43:44.440 let me advise you
00:43:45.660 where I think we should go.
00:43:47.000 And it's self-imposed.
00:43:48.100 That's what I self-imposed
00:43:49.300 on the company.
00:43:52.200 So everybody sat in this
00:43:53.480 meeting and said,
00:43:53.860 that's fantastic.
00:43:54.920 Great.
00:43:55.400 Let's do that.
00:43:58.060 They left my office
00:43:59.340 and a brand new employee
00:44:01.340 heard this other employee
00:44:03.640 say,
00:44:04.880 he went to him
00:44:05.680 and said,
00:44:06.000 okay,
00:44:06.380 let's get together
00:44:07.440 because you and I are
00:44:08.000 going to have to work
00:44:08.420 closely on this
00:44:09.360 to get this done.
00:44:10.600 And the one employee
00:44:11.860 said to the new employee,
00:44:13.180 what are you talking about?
00:44:14.860 We're not going to do
00:44:15.340 any of that stuff.
00:44:16.280 It took one brave
00:44:21.320 new employee
00:44:22.020 to tell me that.
00:44:23.400 And after a long time
00:44:25.600 of fighting this
00:44:27.920 and not believing
00:44:29.680 that I was smart enough
00:44:31.600 to fix it
00:44:32.460 or powerful enough
00:44:33.400 to fix it,
00:44:34.440 I was at the point
00:44:35.700 of giving up.
00:44:40.300 Then the election came.
00:44:42.620 And I was
00:44:45.000 quite honestly
00:44:46.560 just as mad at you
00:44:47.660 as you were at me.
00:44:49.480 I didn't understand you.
00:44:51.100 You didn't understand me.
00:44:53.060 And I think we just
00:44:54.080 missed each other
00:44:54.780 in language.
00:44:56.040 And I'm trying
00:44:56.760 to repair that now
00:44:57.960 to really truly
00:44:58.860 go back
00:44:59.400 and do the things
00:45:00.060 that I should have asked.
00:45:01.560 And that is,
00:45:02.560 come on,
00:45:02.900 you're a good friend of mine.
00:45:04.040 This is not normal behavior
00:45:05.620 for you.
00:45:06.600 What the hell
00:45:07.300 is happening
00:45:07.800 in your life?
00:45:09.200 And I would have
00:45:09.940 seen your pain
00:45:10.800 and things would have
00:45:12.040 been different.
00:45:16.780 About eight months ago,
00:45:17.820 my wife said,
00:45:18.640 I've had it.
00:45:20.360 Shut it down, honey.
00:45:22.040 It's going to kill you
00:45:23.060 or wipe us out
00:45:24.100 or whatever.
00:45:24.640 Just shut it down.
00:45:27.000 It's not worth it.
00:45:32.640 I said no
00:45:33.920 because again,
00:45:35.180 I have partners
00:45:36.440 who rely on me.
00:45:37.760 I have employees
00:45:39.240 who rely on me.
00:45:41.320 And most importantly,
00:45:42.540 I started thinking
00:45:43.720 about the vision
00:45:44.460 that was entrusted
00:45:45.520 with me.
00:45:47.060 You know me
00:45:47.820 if you listen
00:45:48.360 to my show.
00:45:49.380 I could be delusional,
00:45:50.920 sure,
00:45:51.440 but I do believe
00:45:52.920 that we're all here
00:45:54.140 for a reason
00:45:54.840 and I was given
00:45:55.780 this vision
00:45:57.480 of to create something
00:45:59.000 for a reason.
00:46:01.340 And I'm not
00:46:02.480 going to give up on it.
00:46:04.820 And so,
00:46:06.140 instead,
00:46:06.700 I didn't give up.
00:46:09.820 I said,
00:46:11.060 honestly,
00:46:12.740 it's my fault.
00:46:16.280 I wasn't running
00:46:17.400 the company.
00:46:18.400 I had nothing
00:46:19.040 to do with
00:46:19.960 other than I was
00:46:20.900 a big investor
00:46:21.600 and I was
00:46:22.580 the founder
00:46:23.840 and would make suggestions
00:46:25.580 but that was all
00:46:26.360 self-imposed.
00:46:27.260 I could have.
00:46:28.440 How,
00:46:28.980 what crazy idea
00:46:30.560 did I have
00:46:31.300 that the guy
00:46:32.260 who had the vision,
00:46:34.160 the guy who had
00:46:34.940 the most passion,
00:46:35.860 more than anybody else,
00:46:37.660 would self-impose
00:46:39.060 and restrict himself
00:46:40.240 from actually
00:46:41.080 being,
00:46:41.840 holding people
00:46:42.440 accountable for it.
00:46:43.580 That's just stupid
00:46:44.580 because I could hire
00:46:46.380 the best people
00:46:47.280 but unless they
00:46:48.520 had the vision,
00:46:49.860 unless they had
00:46:50.560 the passion,
00:46:51.260 they were not
00:46:52.060 going to create
00:46:53.060 what I was looking for.
00:46:55.260 I'm the one
00:46:56.360 who has the vision.
00:46:57.900 I'm the one
00:46:58.660 who believes in it.
00:46:59.720 It's my responsibility
00:47:01.820 in the first
00:47:03.260 and the last
00:47:04.340 place.
00:47:05.920 Blame others?
00:47:06.940 No.
00:47:07.500 Hold people
00:47:08.060 accountable?
00:47:09.060 Yes.
00:47:10.720 But I need to
00:47:11.620 take charge
00:47:12.160 of my stewardship.
00:47:14.460 So I was faced
00:47:15.640 with,
00:47:16.140 do I pull the
00:47:17.520 ripcord?
00:47:17.940 Do I eject?
00:47:19.660 Or not?
00:47:20.440 This is the point
00:47:24.980 of the story
00:47:25.520 that will take
00:47:26.140 you now
00:47:26.540 to Washington.
00:47:28.280 I pulled
00:47:29.100 the ripcord
00:47:29.760 but not
00:47:31.680 the one
00:47:32.360 that the rest
00:47:33.920 of the world
00:47:34.520 will tell you
00:47:35.460 you can pull.
00:47:36.520 Just give up.
00:47:38.660 I pulled
00:47:39.560 the ripcord
00:47:40.300 the one
00:47:41.600 that stops
00:47:42.420 everything
00:47:42.960 and says
00:47:43.980 stop.
00:47:45.320 I'm not
00:47:47.480 playing this
00:47:48.320 game anymore.
00:47:50.080 I'm changing
00:47:51.220 the rules
00:47:52.080 to common
00:47:52.840 sense rules.
00:47:55.160 I'm the
00:47:56.080 owner
00:47:56.440 of this
00:47:57.460 place.
00:47:58.180 It's my
00:47:58.780 vision.
00:47:59.360 It's mostly
00:48:00.120 my money
00:48:00.780 and it's
00:48:01.200 my life.
00:48:02.600 And you
00:48:03.040 know what?
00:48:03.960 I found
00:48:05.060 that this
00:48:05.500 company
00:48:05.900 is full
00:48:06.980 of people
00:48:07.680 who worked
00:48:08.700 here
00:48:08.980 because
00:48:10.060 they have
00:48:11.540 a piece
00:48:12.080 of that
00:48:12.420 vision
00:48:12.720 and they're
00:48:13.400 passionate
00:48:13.920 about that
00:48:14.800 vision.
00:48:15.760 And they
00:48:16.400 have been
00:48:16.700 waiting for
00:48:17.240 me to
00:48:17.680 step up
00:48:18.360 and say
00:48:19.000 we're
00:48:20.880 going
00:48:21.420 here.
00:48:23.740 They're
00:48:24.260 here
00:48:24.820 because
00:48:26.080 they too
00:48:26.940 believe.
00:48:29.280 And so
00:48:29.540 the last
00:48:29.920 few weeks
00:48:31.000 or couple
00:48:31.660 of months
00:48:32.020 I've been
00:48:32.300 asking them
00:48:32.940 you got
00:48:33.840 to help
00:48:34.140 me.
00:48:34.520 If you
00:48:35.120 believe
00:48:35.620 you got
00:48:36.600 to help
00:48:36.860 me.
00:48:37.320 Here's
00:48:37.580 where we're
00:48:37.900 going.
00:48:38.320 Here's
00:48:38.560 the point
00:48:38.940 on the
00:48:39.180 horizon.
00:48:41.960 Refocus
00:48:42.460 teach
00:48:43.880 and empower.
00:48:46.320 Now I
00:48:46.860 don't know
00:48:47.140 we may
00:48:47.500 not make
00:48:47.860 the turn.
00:48:48.960 We might.
00:48:50.040 I think
00:48:50.440 we are.
00:48:51.000 I think
00:48:51.220 we're going
00:48:51.460 to change
00:48:52.780 everything
00:48:53.800 again.
00:48:55.220 And we're
00:48:55.700 not going
00:48:55.960 to get
00:48:56.160 there for
00:48:56.520 a while.
00:48:57.760 It's going
00:48:58.220 to be
00:48:58.360 hard.
00:48:58.740 But in
00:49:00.760 the meantime
00:49:01.100 I can
00:49:01.420 make a
00:49:01.720 few small
00:49:02.320 movements
00:49:02.740 in the
00:49:03.080 right
00:49:03.240 direction
00:49:03.700 and then
00:49:04.600 perhaps
00:49:04.960 others
00:49:05.260 will go
00:49:05.660 well I
00:49:06.140 see what
00:49:06.460 they're
00:49:06.600 going for
00:49:07.140 I see
00:49:07.440 where they're
00:49:07.900 I see
00:49:08.240 where they're
00:49:08.500 headed
00:49:08.720 and they'll
00:49:09.600 help us.
00:49:11.420 How does
00:49:12.040 this relate
00:49:12.420 to health
00:49:12.740 care?
00:49:14.340 Let me
00:49:14.940 reread the
00:49:15.620 tweet here.
00:49:18.080 GOP
00:49:18.600 on health
00:49:20.200 care
00:49:20.560 after seven
00:49:21.820 years this
00:49:22.600 is your
00:49:22.980 chance to
00:49:23.580 shine.
00:49:24.480 Don't let
00:49:24.900 the American
00:49:25.400 people down.
00:49:26.200 Mr.
00:49:27.540 President
00:49:27.920 take
00:49:29.440 responsibility.
00:49:32.160 You have
00:49:33.420 been for
00:49:34.100 any and
00:49:35.360 all of
00:49:36.200 these bills.
00:49:38.160 You were
00:49:38.680 elected because
00:49:39.420 you are
00:49:40.300 the deal
00:49:41.100 maker.
00:49:42.560 You're the
00:49:42.940 guy who
00:49:43.400 said you
00:49:43.740 could bring
00:49:44.180 everyone
00:49:44.640 together.
00:49:46.220 You haven't
00:49:46.880 even it
00:49:47.660 seems tried
00:49:49.180 to bring
00:49:50.380 all of
00:49:51.300 your party
00:49:52.800 behind you
00:49:53.820 because we
00:49:55.400 as the
00:49:55.780 American
00:49:56.040 people don't
00:49:56.680 feel you
00:49:57.300 have a
00:49:57.780 passion for
00:49:59.440 this deal
00:50:00.480 or that
00:50:01.040 deal.
00:50:01.500 You have
00:50:01.760 a passion
00:50:02.180 for any
00:50:02.920 deal.
00:50:04.060 That doesn't
00:50:04.600 work.
00:50:06.340 This is
00:50:07.040 your chance
00:50:07.800 to shine
00:50:08.380 Mr.
00:50:08.760 President.
00:50:10.020 This is
00:50:10.760 your chance
00:50:11.640 to bring
00:50:12.340 the GOP
00:50:13.040 together.
00:50:13.640 Not to
00:50:14.260 point fingers
00:50:14.940 and say
00:50:15.400 it's just
00:50:16.020 the GOP
00:50:16.920 because that
00:50:18.500 doesn't help.
00:50:21.660 Sorry I
00:50:22.420 don't want to
00:50:23.420 make this about
00:50:23.980 the president
00:50:24.420 because this
00:50:26.000 isn't about
00:50:26.400 the president
00:50:26.900 just like
00:50:28.180 my company
00:50:29.340 isn't about
00:50:30.680 people who
00:50:32.000 used to
00:50:32.460 work here
00:50:32.860 or anything
00:50:33.200 else.
00:50:33.940 It's about
00:50:34.780 today and
00:50:36.300 what can I
00:50:36.920 do.
00:50:39.480 Nobody is
00:50:40.400 being held
00:50:41.000 responsible or
00:50:42.220 accountable in
00:50:43.260 our country.
00:50:44.040 Those guys
00:50:44.860 go to
00:50:45.300 Washington.
00:50:46.140 They tell
00:50:46.560 you anything
00:50:47.400 and then we
00:50:49.540 never fire
00:50:50.460 them.
00:50:50.780 they are
00:50:53.820 the ones
00:50:54.280 who listen
00:50:54.880 to us
00:50:55.420 in our
00:50:55.740 town halls
00:50:56.380 and then
00:50:56.820 they go
00:50:57.180 out into
00:50:57.500 the hallway
00:50:58.020 and somebody
00:50:59.160 who's new
00:51:00.000 in Washington
00:51:00.720 and sincere
00:51:01.840 says to the
00:51:03.060 older guy
00:51:03.680 hey so we
00:51:04.800 should meet
00:51:05.240 on this
00:51:05.760 and the
00:51:06.740 other guy
00:51:07.140 says what
00:51:07.940 are you
00:51:08.100 talking about
00:51:08.540 we're not
00:51:08.740 going to do
00:51:09.000 any of that
00:51:09.400 crap.
00:51:11.140 That is
00:51:12.120 Mitch
00:51:12.460 McConnell.
00:51:14.620 That is
00:51:15.540 Paul Ryan.
00:51:16.420 that is
00:51:18.420 a majority
00:51:19.240 of the
00:51:19.720 DNC
00:51:20.420 and the
00:51:20.840 RNC.
00:51:22.200 They will
00:51:22.760 tell you
00:51:23.400 whatever they
00:51:24.180 have to
00:51:24.760 tell you
00:51:25.480 so you
00:51:26.400 stop looking
00:51:27.600 at them
00:51:28.300 and then
00:51:29.520 when the
00:51:29.960 crap hits
00:51:30.540 the fan
00:51:31.140 they blame
00:51:32.120 it on
00:51:32.520 someone else.
00:51:34.120 So how
00:51:34.600 are we
00:51:34.820 going to
00:51:35.080 fix this?
00:51:35.860 There's
00:51:36.260 one answer.
00:51:37.520 This is
00:51:38.040 your country.
00:51:40.000 This is
00:51:40.800 your money.
00:51:42.000 This is
00:51:42.380 your life.
00:51:43.580 This is
00:51:43.940 your future.
00:51:45.140 This is
00:51:45.480 your children's
00:51:46.400 future.
00:51:47.900 There is
00:51:48.520 one cord
00:51:49.820 that you
00:51:50.240 can pull
00:51:50.940 to eject
00:51:51.920 out of
00:51:52.660 this and
00:51:53.200 it is
00:51:53.500 called
00:51:53.860 Article 5.
00:51:55.460 It's in
00:51:56.040 the
00:51:56.260 Constitution.
00:51:57.920 It is
00:51:58.440 the last
00:51:59.840 resort
00:52:00.640 given to
00:52:01.940 the people
00:52:02.480 because
00:52:03.060 the founders
00:52:03.980 knew this
00:52:04.580 was going
00:52:04.840 to happen
00:52:05.180 because they
00:52:05.680 didn't talk
00:52:06.160 about the
00:52:06.520 better angels.
00:52:07.760 If we were
00:52:08.320 surrounded by
00:52:08.960 better angels
00:52:09.780 we wouldn't
00:52:10.420 need the
00:52:10.880 Constitution.
00:52:12.100 The Constitution
00:52:12.780 is not a
00:52:13.520 restraint on
00:52:14.160 you the
00:52:14.760 people.
00:52:15.360 It's a
00:52:15.520 restraint on
00:52:16.460 those people
00:52:17.380 that have
00:52:18.540 power because
00:52:19.560 the founders
00:52:20.560 knew every
00:52:21.640 single time
00:52:22.860 power corrupts.
00:52:25.820 And so at
00:52:26.400 the end of
00:52:27.060 the Constitutional
00:52:27.940 Convention they
00:52:28.540 said you know
00:52:29.100 what we haven't
00:52:29.800 given the people.
00:52:30.700 We've given it to
00:52:31.160 the states.
00:52:32.100 But what happens
00:52:32.920 if the states
00:52:33.560 go bad?
00:52:34.360 We haven't
00:52:34.980 given it to
00:52:35.480 the people.
00:52:37.220 And they
00:52:37.960 wrote in
00:52:38.460 Article 5 which
00:52:39.880 allows the
00:52:40.640 people to
00:52:41.480 stand up
00:52:42.240 and say
00:52:43.120 enough.
00:52:45.020 You're not
00:52:45.760 doing our
00:52:46.680 work.
00:52:48.460 We're going
00:52:48.900 to put term
00:52:49.480 limits on
00:52:50.060 you.
00:52:50.600 We're going
00:52:51.000 to put spending
00:52:51.840 limits on
00:52:52.700 you.
00:52:53.860 Because you'll
00:52:54.820 never do it.
00:52:56.180 And these
00:52:56.900 things have
00:52:57.840 to be done.
00:53:00.280 You get
00:53:01.160 involved in
00:53:01.980 first defund
00:53:03.380 the GOP
00:53:04.140 and the DNC.
00:53:05.340 Don't give
00:53:05.980 those people
00:53:06.600 another dime.
00:53:08.180 They're using
00:53:09.180 you.
00:53:10.800 Second,
00:53:11.940 start listening
00:53:13.620 to common
00:53:14.280 sense.
00:53:15.320 Start looking
00:53:16.260 at the
00:53:17.000 whole picture.
00:53:18.220 Not just
00:53:18.800 the picture
00:53:19.340 given to
00:53:20.020 you by the
00:53:20.520 people who
00:53:21.320 are making
00:53:21.840 you feel
00:53:22.500 good.
00:53:23.260 You need
00:53:23.920 the truth.
00:53:26.100 So look
00:53:26.740 for the
00:53:27.180 truth.
00:53:28.960 And then
00:53:29.300 get involved
00:53:30.140 in the
00:53:31.140 Article 5
00:53:32.300 Constitutional
00:53:33.460 Convention
00:53:33.920 Movement.

00:54:08.460 that vision
00:54:09.020 to somebody
00:54:09.880 who doesn't
00:54:10.860 actually believe

00:54:59.580 to war?
00:55:01.000 That is
00:55:01.680 a global

00:55:03.140 Do you

00:55:06.100 about what

00:55:09.180 World War
00:55:09.660 II?
00:55:10.500 They made
00:55:11.180 it because
00:55:11.740 they canned
00:55:12.580 their own
00:55:13.080 food.
00:55:13.620 They made
00:55:14.140 it because
00:55:14.940 they had
00:55:15.700 extra on
00:55:16.540 hand because
00:55:17.180 suddenly
00:55:17.820 everything
00:55:18.660 became tight.
00:55:19.920 And I don't
00:55:20.220 mean the

00:56:22.360 I'm on
00:56:22.920 I'm on
00:56:23.500 I think that we
00:56:24.140 need a song on
00:56:24.820 that.
00:56:25.000 Yeah, it's catchy.
00:56:26.480 He's the guy
00:56:27.900 that Debbie
00:56:29.040 Wasserman Schultz
00:56:30.120 was using as
00:56:31.600 the top
00:56:32.880 IT staffer.
00:56:34.700 There is
00:56:35.880 something
00:56:36.320 really bad
00:56:37.900 going on here
00:56:38.940 and this goes
00:56:39.860 to
00:56:40.300 absolute
00:56:41.500 total
00:56:42.200 corruption.
00:56:44.120 He is a guy
00:56:45.420 who wired
00:56:46.000 $283,000
00:56:47.360 to Pakistan
00:56:48.340 before he
00:56:49.100 tried to
00:56:49.660 leave the
00:56:50.140 country.
00:56:50.520 He was
00:56:51.360 leaving the
00:56:51.860 country with
00:56:52.360 $12,000
00:56:53.160 in cash.
00:56:55.660 He
00:56:56.300 destroyed the
00:56:58.180 hard drives.
00:56:58.860 Now here's who
00:56:59.320 this guy was.
00:57:00.480 He was in
00:57:01.500 charge of
00:57:02.440 Debbie Wasserman
00:57:03.100 Schultz and
00:57:04.300 I think other
00:57:05.240 hard drives
00:57:08.100 in the
00:57:08.540 capital.
00:57:09.740 And he
00:57:10.500 and his
00:57:11.160 family,
00:57:11.820 they were
00:57:12.200 charging like
00:57:13.100 four times
00:57:14.400 the amount
00:57:14.920 they should
00:57:15.340 have charged.
00:57:16.800 And he
00:57:17.980 had taken
00:57:18.660 email
00:57:20.320 from
00:57:21.620 senators
00:57:22.240 and rerouted
00:57:23.780 the traffic
00:57:24.720 so they
00:57:25.580 were,
00:57:25.840 he was
00:57:26.340 allowed or
00:57:27.160 able to
00:57:27.860 get all
00:57:28.800 senators
00:57:29.300 traffic on
00:57:30.260 their email
00:57:30.920 servers
00:57:31.620 to a hard
00:57:33.140 drive off
00:57:34.080 site that
00:57:34.800 he kept
00:57:35.540 without
00:57:36.980 anybody
00:57:37.380 knowing it.
00:57:39.180 And Debbie
00:57:39.640 Wasserman
00:57:40.000 Schultz and
00:57:41.000 the DNC
00:57:41.800 protected this
00:57:42.860 guy relentlessly.
00:57:44.360 Why?

00:58:10.060 for Debbie
00:58:10.480 Wasserman
00:58:10.880 Schultz.
00:58:11.520 The media

00:58:15.060 is really

00:58:55.320 by the
00:58:56.640 house.
00:58:57.580 Wow.
00:58:57.920 Your money,
00:58:59.640 five million
00:59:00.680 dollars were
00:59:01.340 paid to
00:59:02.120 his family
00:59:03.100 who was
00:59:03.700 doing
00:59:04.120 IT support.
00:59:07.020 If we're
00:59:08.220 really,
00:59:09.060 if it's
00:59:09.440 costing us
00:59:10.040 five million
00:59:11.240 dollars to
00:59:12.560 do IT
00:59:13.260 support in
00:59:14.480 the nation's
00:59:15.060 capital for
00:59:16.360 Debbie Wasserman
00:59:17.220 Schultz and
00:59:18.140 the Democrats,
00:59:19.640 that's a
00:59:20.300 problem.
00:59:21.280 That is a
00:59:22.000 big problem
00:59:22.840 when it's
00:59:23.420 all going
00:59:23.960 to one
00:59:24.600 family.
00:59:26.060 Now,
00:59:26.520 here's a
00:59:27.300 couple of
00:59:27.600 things that
00:59:28.140 are really
00:59:28.700 disturbing
00:59:29.300 about this
00:59:30.180 guy.
00:59:31.380 So far,
00:59:32.660 he's only
00:59:33.140 being charged
00:59:33.640 with bank
00:59:34.220 fraud,
00:59:34.860 and the
00:59:35.120 reason why
00:59:35.860 is because
00:59:36.960 he went to
00:59:37.580 the House
00:59:38.000 Credit Union
00:59:38.780 and said,
00:59:40.100 I want to
00:59:41.020 take out a
00:59:41.560 loan on
00:59:42.400 my house,
00:59:43.940 and he
00:59:44.940 applied for
00:59:45.660 this loan,
00:59:47.640 I think
00:59:48.340 got the
00:59:48.980 loan of
00:59:49.980 $300,000
00:59:50.900 or $287,000,
00:59:52.220 but it's a
00:59:53.220 home he was
00:59:53.780 renting.
00:59:54.860 He didn't
00:59:55.240 own it.
00:59:57.160 You know,
00:59:57.460 how are these
00:59:57.920 people going to
00:59:58.420 fix the banks
00:59:59.500 if their own
01:00:00.540 house credit
01:00:01.980 union is
01:00:02.660 doing that?
01:00:03.960 So they
01:00:05.040 gave him
01:00:05.580 the loan.
01:00:06.480 He then
01:00:06.940 tried to
01:00:07.580 transfer the
01:00:08.300 money to
01:00:09.320 Pakistan.
01:00:10.100 Okay,
01:00:12.720 nothing here
01:00:13.540 about Islam.
01:00:14.800 There's nothing
01:00:15.280 here about
01:00:15.740 Islam.
01:00:16.160 Don't jump
01:00:16.560 to any
01:00:17.080 conclusions
01:00:17.760 because of
01:00:19.400 Pakistan.
01:00:22.000 All we
01:00:22.560 know right
01:00:23.180 now is
01:00:23.860 this guy
01:00:24.520 was at
01:00:25.300 least a
01:00:26.420 total fraud,
01:00:27.780 and he
01:00:28.380 was trying
01:00:28.860 to leave
01:00:29.440 the country
01:00:30.080 once they
01:00:31.160 were on
01:00:31.640 to him.
01:00:32.800 Now,
01:00:33.020 why?
01:00:34.020 Why did
01:00:34.820 Debbie Wasserman
01:00:35.540 Schultz,
01:00:36.680 every time
01:00:37.760 somebody brought
01:00:39.180 him up,
01:00:40.100 she quashed
01:00:41.180 it?
01:00:41.440 There was
01:00:42.140 an investigation.
01:00:43.760 She raised
01:00:44.700 holy hell.
01:00:47.120 A company
01:00:47.640 came in
01:00:48.300 and did
01:00:48.720 an analysis
01:00:49.360 and said,
01:00:50.520 we can do
01:00:51.160 the same
01:00:51.880 service for
01:00:53.300 a quarter
01:00:54.020 of the
01:00:54.580 price.
01:00:56.060 Why are
01:00:56.960 you paying
01:00:57.400 five million
01:00:58.480 dollars to
01:00:59.260 this family?
01:01:00.480 We can do
01:01:01.240 better at
01:01:02.400 a quarter
01:01:02.920 of a price.
01:01:04.240 She kicked
01:01:05.180 them out.
01:01:05.640 anyone who
01:01:07.140 ever said
01:01:07.840 anything about
01:01:09.000 him or
01:01:09.760 his family,
01:01:10.620 they found
01:01:11.020 themselves
01:01:11.560 fired.
01:01:13.480 We know
01:01:14.280 that he
01:01:14.680 smashed all
01:01:15.760 of his
01:01:16.040 hard drives.
01:01:18.760 We also
01:01:19.340 know,
01:01:20.120 we know,
01:01:20.720 we also
01:01:21.300 have heard
01:01:22.120 that he
01:01:24.240 had gone
01:01:26.680 into some
01:01:28.100 or all,
01:01:28.800 we don't
01:01:29.140 know,
01:01:29.980 of the
01:01:30.460 House and
01:01:31.120 the Senate
01:01:31.740 computers,
01:01:32.980 gotten
01:01:34.200 the
01:01:34.580 emails,
01:01:36.280 and any
01:01:37.360 email that
01:01:38.400 the senators
01:01:39.660 were writing
01:01:40.560 and the
01:01:41.500 House members
01:01:41.980 were writing
01:01:42.500 were going
01:01:43.100 to off-site
01:01:44.700 servers and
01:01:45.980 a hard drive
01:01:46.980 owned by
01:01:47.660 him.
01:01:49.800 Is it
01:01:50.740 possible he
01:01:51.380 was blackmailing?
01:01:53.040 Is it
01:01:53.980 possible he
01:01:54.580 was blackmailing
01:01:55.500 Debbie Wasserman
01:01:56.260 Schultz,
01:01:57.800 the DNC,
01:01:59.020 House
01:01:59.340 members?
01:01:59.860 $5
01:02:02.380 million?
01:02:04.120 That's
01:02:04.900 outrageous.
01:02:06.600 No one
01:02:07.120 could question
01:02:07.880 him without
01:02:08.780 being fired?
01:02:09.920 That's
01:02:10.440 outrageous.
01:02:13.180 Smashing
01:02:14.020 the off-site
01:02:14.960 hard drives,
01:02:16.720 then trying
01:02:18.000 to steal
01:02:19.540 money from
01:02:20.500 the people,
01:02:21.420 you've already
01:02:22.200 had $5
01:02:22.800 million,
01:02:24.180 trying to
01:02:24.880 take an
01:02:25.200 additional,
01:02:25.960 what,
01:02:26.540 $287
01:02:27.640 and transfer
01:02:29.020 it out
01:02:29.700 to Pakistan
01:02:30.520 as you
01:02:31.980 are leaving
01:02:32.760 the country,
01:02:34.720 fleeing when
01:02:35.640 they want to
01:02:36.040 question you?
01:02:37.560 Again,
01:02:38.240 outrageous.
01:02:39.240 Yesterday he
01:02:39.880 was in
01:02:40.260 court,
01:02:40.540 he was charged
01:02:41.140 with just
01:02:41.580 the bank
01:02:42.100 fraud part
01:02:42.700 of it
01:02:42.900 because
01:02:43.240 they're just
01:02:44.160 beginning an
01:02:44.900 investigation.
01:02:47.060 That's
01:02:47.400 that is
01:02:49.020 when Debbie
01:02:49.520 Wasserman
01:02:49.920 Schultz
01:02:50.380 decided to
01:02:51.620 fire him.
01:02:53.060 Yesterday,
01:02:54.480 after the
01:02:55.360 hearing.
01:02:55.860 excuse me,
01:02:59.380 what?
01:03:00.540 Is it
01:03:01.180 possible this
01:03:01.920 guy was
01:03:02.800 leaking
01:03:03.940 information?
01:03:05.220 Is it
01:03:05.440 possible this
01:03:06.240 is the
01:03:07.000 leak?
01:03:07.500 Is it
01:03:08.020 possible there
01:03:08.660 was blackmail
01:03:09.620 going on?
01:03:11.100 Is it
01:03:11.480 possible this
01:03:12.200 guy was
01:03:12.760 taking
01:03:13.260 confidential
01:03:14.420 information and
01:03:15.840 giving it to
01:03:16.460 our enemies or
01:03:17.300 just selling it
01:03:18.080 for the highest
01:03:18.580 price?
01:03:19.540 Is it
01:03:19.960 possible,
01:03:20.600 forget about
01:03:21.100 Islam,
01:03:21.500 is it
01:03:21.920 possible this
01:03:22.780 guy was
01:03:23.980 at all
01:03:24.520 involved with
01:03:25.460 Julian Assange
01:03:26.600 and Putin?
01:03:29.660 Is this
01:03:30.580 where the
01:03:30.900 DNC leak
01:03:31.700 came from?
01:03:32.780 Or any
01:03:33.460 part of it?
01:03:34.680 Was he
01:03:35.100 involved?
01:03:36.860 Strangely,
01:03:37.680 the media
01:03:38.320 doesn't have
01:03:40.120 any questions.
01:03:41.860 CBS
01:03:42.300 yesterday
01:03:43.160 reported on
01:03:43.860 this for a
01:03:44.600 whopping 37
01:03:46.060 seconds.
01:03:48.300 This seems
01:03:49.400 like a pretty
01:03:50.260 big deal.
01:03:51.500 media, you
01:03:54.280 want to know
01:03:54.620 why nobody
01:03:55.020 trusts you?
01:03:56.520 Because you
01:03:57.160 won't take
01:03:57.560 on, quote,
01:03:58.700 your own
01:03:59.240 side, which
01:04:00.120 you're not
01:04:00.980 playing, you
01:04:03.160 know, any
01:04:03.760 kind of game
01:04:04.320 to help at
01:04:04.860 all.
01:04:05.100 That's
01:04:05.320 definitely not
01:04:06.320 happening.
01:04:07.580 37 seconds
01:04:08.800 for this?
01:04:10.560 Why?
01:04:11.260 The only
01:04:11.900 thing that I
01:04:12.780 can think of
01:04:13.540 is that you're
01:04:14.320 not in the
01:04:16.060 bag for the
01:04:16.860 DNC.
01:04:18.080 You are so
01:04:19.120 afraid of
01:04:19.940 political
01:04:20.440 correctness,
01:04:21.220 and you
01:04:21.860 think
01:04:22.200 Americans
01:04:22.680 are so
01:04:23.200 bigoted
01:04:23.740 and stupid
01:04:24.400 that because
01:04:25.500 this guy
01:04:26.180 was going
01:04:27.200 to Pakistan
01:04:27.960 and his
01:04:28.680 name was
01:04:29.220 Amanawan,
01:04:30.140 that you
01:04:32.820 just think
01:04:33.500 we're going
01:04:33.860 to round
01:04:34.480 up Muslims
01:04:35.060 and head
01:04:35.540 to our
01:04:35.840 local
01:04:36.120 mosques.
01:04:37.620 No.
01:04:38.140 No.
01:04:39.260 No.
01:04:40.080 If there's
01:04:40.780 anything that
01:04:41.640 this makes
01:04:42.160 me want to
01:04:42.780 do, it
01:04:43.880 makes me
01:04:44.520 want to
01:04:44.960 fumigate
01:04:45.940 everything in
01:04:47.640 the House
01:04:48.140 and in the
01:04:48.740 Senate.
01:04:49.860 If corruption
01:04:51.140 at this level
01:04:52.620 was happening,
01:04:53.800 what are the
01:04:54.260 things that we
01:04:55.120 don't know
01:04:55.520 about?
01:04:56.800 If this guy
01:04:58.000 was compromising
01:04:59.080 any of our
01:05:00.220 House members
01:05:01.040 or Senate,
01:05:01.700 has he
01:05:02.440 compromised
01:05:03.020 any national
01:05:04.020 security
01:05:04.660 pieces?
01:05:05.540 Have any
01:05:06.100 votes gone
01:05:06.900 down because
01:05:07.820 he could
01:05:10.460 use it or
01:05:12.180 because he
01:05:14.100 was possibly
01:05:14.760 feeding it to
01:05:15.880 Debbie Wasserman
01:05:16.840 Schultz?
01:05:18.180 Don't you think
01:05:19.020 some of those
01:05:19.560 questions are
01:05:20.120 important?
01:05:21.160 No, because
01:05:21.700 the president
01:05:22.440 tweeted his
01:05:23.540 transgender ban
01:05:25.480 yesterday.
01:05:26.420 We've got to
01:05:26.720 cover that.
01:05:27.180 That's right.
01:05:28.680 That's what we
01:05:29.600 have to look
01:05:30.040 at.
01:05:30.720 He's banning
01:05:31.700 transgender people
01:05:32.480 in the military.
01:05:33.920 By the way,
01:05:34.860 he's got
01:05:36.520 himself an
01:05:37.080 attorney.
01:05:39.400 He hired
01:05:40.580 Chris Goen,
01:05:41.960 the founding
01:05:42.540 partner of
01:05:43.720 Goen, Rhodes,
01:05:44.620 Winograd, and
01:05:45.320 Silva.
01:05:48.580 I'm sure this
01:05:49.460 is just a
01:05:49.880 coincidence, but
01:05:50.740 this is the
01:05:51.740 guy that was
01:05:55.660 a fact checker
01:05:56.620 for President
01:05:57.860 Clinton's
01:05:58.280 memoir, My
01:05:59.220 Life.
01:05:59.780 He was a
01:06:00.320 traveling aide
01:06:01.040 for President
01:06:01.680 Clinton on
01:06:02.440 national and
01:06:03.040 international trips.
01:06:05.080 He finished
01:06:06.160 his tenure with
01:06:06.940 the Clintons
01:06:07.580 doing advance
01:06:08.920 operations for
01:06:09.760 Hillary Clinton
01:06:10.440 during her
01:06:11.040 08.
01:06:12.720 And now
01:06:13.340 just part of
01:06:14.940 the Clinton
01:06:15.460 Global Initiative,
01:06:16.600 the Clinton
01:06:16.900 Foundation, and
01:06:17.840 the Clinton
01:06:18.200 Health Access
01:06:19.220 Initiative.
01:06:20.600 Something is
01:06:21.440 very wrong.
01:06:23.300 And I don't
01:06:23.740 think it's just
01:06:24.700 going to stop
01:06:25.260 at Debbie
01:06:25.660 Wasserman
01:06:26.100 Schultz.
01:06:26.620 If there was
01:06:27.160 ever an
01:06:27.600 honest, this
01:06:28.360 would go to
01:06:29.320 the Clintons.
01:06:30.380 Something is
01:06:31.140 very wrong
01:06:31.980 here.
01:06:33.780 Sure sounds
01:06:34.380 like it.
01:06:34.900 Let me just
01:06:35.260 say one more
01:06:35.680 time.
01:06:36.380 Article 5.
01:06:38.160 Attention
01:06:38.620 America.
01:06:39.520 Article 5.
01:06:43.040 Get involved
01:06:43.800 in our, these
01:06:44.340 people, they're
01:06:44.740 not going to
01:06:45.060 clean this up.
01:06:46.460 And if it's
01:06:47.280 happening on
01:06:47.780 one side, you
01:06:48.420 can bet it's
01:06:49.100 happening on
01:06:49.540 the other
01:06:49.800 side too.
01:06:50.260 the Democrats
01:06:53.140 are not
01:06:53.860 unique to
01:06:54.720 corruption,
01:06:55.800 Nixon.
01:06:56.640 They are
01:06:57.340 not unique.
01:07:00.080 What is it
01:07:00.960 that we don't
01:07:01.540 know about?
01:07:03.560 I'm on a
01:07:04.040 one.
01:07:05.520 I'm sure
01:07:06.140 Hillary will
01:07:06.800 talk about it
01:07:07.720 a little bit
01:07:08.140 in her new
01:07:08.680 book coming
01:07:10.300 out.
01:07:10.760 Her memoir
01:07:11.360 entitled
01:07:12.140 What
01:07:12.900 Happened.
01:07:13.420 What Happened.
01:07:15.000 That's the
01:07:15.700 name of her
01:07:16.120 book.
01:07:16.540 What Happened.
01:07:18.760 That should
01:07:19.380 send, that
01:07:20.220 should sell
01:07:20.920 tens of
01:07:21.660 copies.
01:07:22.520 And it
01:07:23.080 will.
01:07:23.940 Her last
01:07:24.700 one did.
01:07:25.160 She got an
01:07:25.760 advance of
01:07:26.320 7 million
01:07:26.860 for, remember?
01:07:28.260 Yeah.
01:07:28.860 It wound up
01:07:29.800 selling, I
01:07:31.080 don't think,
01:07:31.500 even 100,000
01:07:32.220 copies.
01:07:32.660 How much
01:07:33.600 did this one,
01:07:34.640 how much did
01:07:35.160 they give her
01:07:35.640 in advance?
01:07:36.320 Oh, I'm
01:07:36.760 sure a fortune.
01:07:37.660 I mean, you
01:07:37.940 know, look,
01:07:38.360 it's in the
01:07:38.640 millions.
01:07:39.080 But again, you
01:07:39.640 got to ask
01:07:40.120 yourself why.
01:07:41.400 It's got a
01:07:41.800 last one.
01:07:42.340 Her last one.
01:07:42.440 I mean, this
01:07:43.280 is her, her
01:07:44.220 dying.
01:07:45.360 It's not her
01:07:45.980 writing a book
01:07:46.580 saying like,
01:07:47.320 here's the
01:07:47.880 things that I
01:07:48.520 will put into
01:07:49.120 plan when I'm
01:07:49.880 elected.
01:07:50.160 It's her telling
01:07:50.920 the backstory and
01:07:52.120 the behind the
01:07:52.720 scenes.
01:07:53.080 And even though
01:07:53.460 you're not going
01:07:54.000 to get the
01:07:54.260 real story, it's
01:07:55.420 still going to
01:07:55.760 sell some
01:07:56.060 copies.
01:07:57.000 These look
01:07:58.100 backs always
01:07:58.760 do.
01:07:59.180 I mean, even
01:07:59.440 when they're
01:07:59.680 boring elections,
01:08:00.840 the look backs
01:08:01.720 sell some
01:08:02.300 copies.
01:08:03.040 What
01:08:03.400 happened?
01:08:04.180 What
01:08:04.360 happened?
01:08:05.680 I like that's
01:08:06.520 a good name
01:08:06.820 in the book.
01:08:07.380 I don't know.
01:08:07.800 Maybe you
01:08:08.080 should have
01:08:08.280 gone to a few
01:08:08.840 of the states
01:08:09.280 you lost.
01:08:10.300 How about
01:08:10.500 that?
01:08:10.680 That may
01:08:10.980 have been
01:08:11.220 what happened.
01:08:12.880 Maybe you
01:08:13.500 shouldn't have
01:08:13.780 been so corrupt,
01:08:14.580 you and your
01:08:14.840 husband.
01:08:15.380 How about
01:08:15.680 this?
01:08:15.880 Don't be
01:08:16.220 eternally
01:08:16.680 awful.
01:08:18.600 Learn how to
01:08:19.380 give a speech
01:08:20.040 in a likable
01:08:20.680 way.
01:08:22.540 There's three
01:08:23.020 chapters.
01:08:24.880 Well, we
01:08:25.460 almost have
01:08:25.920 this thing
01:08:26.320 written.
01:08:28.360 Some reports
01:08:29.280 claim she
01:08:29.980 received
01:08:30.620 $14 million
01:08:32.960 for hard
01:08:33.480 choices.
01:08:34.460 That's the
01:08:34.680 last one.
01:08:35.920 $14 million.
01:08:38.600 I thought it
01:08:39.080 was seven.
01:08:39.640 It was
01:08:40.120 double that.
01:08:40.980 I don't
01:08:41.200 know.
01:08:41.480 That's what
01:08:41.860 some reports
01:08:42.440 are saying
01:08:42.780 in this
01:08:43.080 story.
01:08:43.460 Wow.
01:08:43.940 $14 million.
01:08:45.140 Well, it
01:08:45.900 is, Pat, it
01:08:47.240 was seven
01:08:47.800 after taxes,
01:08:49.320 you know.
01:08:49.820 Oh, sure.
01:08:50.420 And especially
01:08:50.940 with now the
01:08:51.640 Republicans and
01:08:52.720 with Steve
01:08:53.400 Bannon, who
01:08:54.860 wants to
01:08:55.340 raise taxes on
01:08:57.860 millionaires from
01:08:59.740 39% to
01:09:02.200 44%.
01:09:03.520 Now, let me
01:09:04.100 just tell you
01:09:04.520 something.
01:09:05.280 Do you think
01:09:05.900 millionaires care?
01:09:07.820 New money
01:09:08.420 cares.
01:09:09.520 Millionaires
01:09:10.000 don't care.
01:09:10.720 Zuckerberg
01:09:11.100 doesn't care.
01:09:11.940 Trump doesn't
01:09:12.460 care.
01:09:13.020 None of the
01:09:13.320 people who
01:09:14.820 actually have
01:09:16.140 lots of
01:09:17.420 money, new
01:09:18.360 money does.
01:09:20.700 New money
01:09:21.460 does.
01:09:22.060 I still think
01:09:23.840 you care.
01:09:24.380 I don't care.
01:09:25.180 It's your money.
01:09:26.100 You've earned it.
01:09:26.920 It's 5% of a
01:09:27.860 billion dollars.
01:09:28.380 But you will
01:09:28.860 find a way.
01:09:30.800 Yes, you'll live.
01:09:31.460 But you'll find a
01:09:32.620 way around it.
01:09:34.120 You'll just find a
01:09:34.820 way around it.
01:09:35.520 You'll get paid in
01:09:36.500 other ways.
01:09:37.240 It'll go to
01:09:37.840 trust funds.
01:09:38.700 You don't care.
01:09:41.460 Yes, you do.
01:09:43.100 But you'll find a
01:09:44.340 way.
01:09:44.780 That group will
01:09:46.720 find a way to
01:09:47.900 save hundreds of
01:09:49.820 millions of
01:09:50.480 dollars.
01:09:50.880 I guarantee it.
01:09:52.520 So it's nothing
01:09:53.440 but a show.
01:09:55.440 You don't take
01:09:56.340 somebody.
01:09:56.940 Who has a right
01:09:58.080 to take 44%
01:10:00.460 of your money.
01:10:03.720 44% of what
01:10:05.780 you earn.
01:10:06.780 And that's not
01:10:07.320 including what
01:10:08.360 they'll be paying
01:10:09.020 in Social Security
01:10:09.920 all the way.
01:10:10.680 It doesn't include
01:10:11.420 what they're paying
01:10:12.180 in other taxes,
01:10:14.660 their state taxes.
01:10:16.420 44% in one tax
01:10:18.880 to the federal
01:10:19.400 government.
01:10:19.960 It's immoral.
01:10:20.900 Absolutely immoral.
01:10:22.660 And if you ask
01:10:23.560 people what is
01:10:24.800 fair on the street
01:10:25.940 and you tell
01:10:26.880 them, hey,
01:10:27.720 should they have
01:10:28.200 to pay 44%
01:10:29.800 and another 12%?
01:10:31.940 Should they have
01:10:32.520 to pay 60%
01:10:35.240 of their salary?
01:10:35.880 Everybody says
01:10:36.600 no.
01:10:36.980 That's outrageous.
01:10:37.820 There was a great
01:10:38.160 example of this
01:10:38.800 yesterday with
01:10:39.800 Deborah Messing,
01:10:40.740 the actress,
01:10:41.760 who saw the story
01:10:43.440 of Steve Bannon
01:10:44.100 wants a 44% tax
01:10:45.500 on the wealthy
01:10:46.760 and she wrote,
01:10:47.880 this is disgusting!
01:10:49.640 Because she,
01:10:50.860 as an idiot,
01:10:52.020 thought he was
01:10:52.600 lowering the rate
01:10:53.440 to 44%.
01:10:54.400 Because she's a
01:10:56.020 moron,
01:10:57.200 she thought it was
01:10:57.840 44% and that was
01:10:58.900 lowering it.
01:10:59.520 She didn't realize
01:11:00.240 it was raising it.
01:11:01.280 Oh my gosh.
01:11:02.480 Alright,
01:11:02.920 now this.
01:11:03.920 I want to tell you
01:11:04.800 about Antonio.
01:11:06.640 Antonio got on
01:11:07.460 to realestateagentsitrust.com
01:11:09.440 and within the week
01:11:10.840 he met his agent.
01:11:12.380 That weekend,
01:11:13.340 Antonio's agent
01:11:14.080 had four visits
01:11:15.640 lined up.
01:11:17.300 On Tuesday,
01:11:18.740 he had an offer
01:11:19.420 for his home.
01:11:21.320 You want to sell
01:11:21.800 your home?
01:11:23.500 realestateagentsitrust.com
01:11:24.620 They're going to find
01:11:25.240 a great real estate
01:11:26.340 agent in your town.
01:11:28.100 Worked for Antonio,
01:11:29.620 will work for you.
01:11:31.460 Over a thousand
01:11:32.480 agents all over America
01:11:33.600 who are just like you.
01:11:35.320 They're bond,
01:11:36.060 they look you in the
01:11:37.360 eye,
01:11:37.580 they give you a
01:11:38.040 handshake,
01:11:38.440 their bond is their
01:11:39.080 word.
01:11:39.840 They're fully vetted
01:11:40.720 and handpicked by
01:11:41.760 my team for their
01:11:42.900 knowledge,
01:11:43.340 their skill,
01:11:43.880 their track record,
01:11:44.840 their decency.
01:11:46.740 Thousands of families
01:11:47.560 have already put
01:11:48.120 real estate agents
01:11:48.860 I trust to the test.
01:11:49.740 The results have
01:11:50.240 been remarkable.
01:11:51.300 Just ask Antonio.
01:11:53.620 Sold in one weekend.
01:11:55.860 realestateagentsitrust.com
01:11:56.800 That's realestateagentsitrust.com
01:11:58.980 This is the Glenn Beck
01:12:02.840 program.
01:12:04.560 Mercury.
01:12:08.120 You know what America
01:12:09.260 needs?
01:12:12.360 Friction.
01:12:13.540 They need the book
01:12:14.320 Friction.
01:12:16.000 Jeff Rosenblum is going
01:12:18.580 to be joining us.
01:12:19.200 He's the author,
01:12:19.980 co-author of the book
01:12:20.980 Friction.
01:12:22.400 He was a founding
01:12:24.260 partner in something
01:12:25.340 called Questus.
01:12:26.880 They work on brands.
01:12:29.860 American Express,
01:12:31.120 Apple,
01:12:31.580 Bloomberg,
01:12:32.160 Capital One,
01:12:32.840 Discovery Channel,
01:12:33.700 Disney,
01:12:34.340 ESPN,
01:12:35.200 Ford,
01:12:35.600 General Mills,
01:12:36.440 Suzuki,
01:12:37.060 Motorcycle.
01:12:37.680 I mean,
01:12:38.240 you name it,
01:12:39.560 they've done it.
01:12:41.180 And what we have in
01:12:43.940 America is a passion
01:12:45.400 brand.
01:12:46.000 But that's really
01:12:48.220 not what's,
01:12:49.460 we're adding all
01:12:50.760 kinds of friction
01:12:51.640 in using this
01:12:52.860 passion brand.
01:12:54.500 This is a book
01:12:55.580 that was written
01:12:56.220 for people who
01:12:57.000 are managers,
01:12:58.300 who are entrepreneurs,
01:13:00.100 who are CEOs.
01:13:01.660 I think it's one
01:13:02.620 of the best books
01:13:03.160 I have read in a
01:13:04.020 very,
01:13:04.640 very long time
01:13:05.660 because it proves
01:13:07.720 it out just the way
01:13:08.700 it's even written
01:13:09.560 and it's readability.
01:13:12.900 It is a book
01:13:14.060 you can't buy
01:13:15.060 digitally.
01:13:16.520 Because you
01:13:17.640 wouldn't get that
01:13:18.500 point until you
01:13:19.740 pick up this big,
01:13:20.800 thick,
01:13:21.160 heavy book that
01:13:21.800 you're like,
01:13:22.280 oh geez,
01:13:22.640 I gotta read this.
01:13:23.900 And then you
01:13:24.360 find yourself,
01:13:25.640 you know,
01:13:26.000 three hours later,
01:13:27.320 three quarters of
01:13:28.060 the way through
01:13:29.380 the book and
01:13:29.840 you're like,
01:13:30.220 this is great.
01:13:32.860 He's gonna talk
01:13:33.700 to us a little
01:13:35.460 bit about the
01:13:37.040 friction that is
01:13:38.060 happening because
01:13:38.940 the world is
01:13:39.700 changing so rapidly.
01:13:42.340 And if you are
01:13:43.440 somebody that
01:13:44.700 wants to change
01:13:45.600 the world,
01:13:47.100 whether it is
01:13:48.000 in your company
01:13:48.860 or in your
01:13:50.960 family or in
01:13:51.960 the country,
01:13:53.200 you need to
01:13:53.740 listen to the
01:13:54.700 next interview
01:13:56.040 that is coming up.
01:13:57.420 Jeff Rosenblum is
01:13:58.340 in the green room
01:13:59.020 now.
01:13:59.740 Passion Brands in
01:14:00.880 the Age of
01:14:01.540 Disruption.
01:14:02.900 Friction is the
01:14:03.500 name of the book.
01:14:04.280 We have a quick
01:14:04.740 update on the news
01:14:05.740 of the day you
01:14:06.720 may be interested
01:14:07.220 in.
01:14:08.180 Joint Chiefs of
01:14:09.320 Staff Chairman
01:14:10.180 tells military
01:14:10.980 there will be
01:14:11.740 no transgender
01:14:12.760 policy modification
01:14:13.900 until specific
01:14:15.600 direction from the
01:14:16.500 president.
01:14:17.260 So the tweet
01:14:17.800 basically at this
01:14:18.860 point means nothing.
01:14:20.000 They have not
01:14:20.440 informed the
01:14:21.060 military of any
01:14:21.780 of it and
01:14:22.560 there's nothing
01:14:23.160 changing as of
01:14:24.000 this moment.
01:14:24.520 He did it because
01:14:25.460 he needed to win
01:14:26.780 a vote yesterday
01:14:27.640 in the House.
01:14:28.960 That's all this
01:14:29.760 was about yesterday,
01:14:30.860 was trying to win
01:14:32.000 a vote in the
01:14:33.000 House and it
01:14:35.440 caused an awful
01:14:36.320 lot of chaos
01:14:37.220 in the Pentagon
01:14:38.160 and the media
01:14:41.200 was just chasing
01:14:41.960 their tails yesterday.
01:14:45.040 The Glenn Beck
01:14:46.380 Program.
01:14:48.540 Mercury.
01:15:02.800 The Blaze Radio

01:15:10.760 The whole world
01:15:12.220 is changing
01:15:13.500 and really
01:15:14.820 in an exciting
01:15:16.240 and dynamic way
01:15:17.520 if you understand
01:15:19.320 that the bullcrap
01:15:22.300 of yesterday,
01:15:23.460 which Washington
01:15:24.180 hasn't figured out
01:15:25.040 yet,
01:15:25.480 the bullcrap
01:15:26.400 of yesterday,
01:15:27.280 the lies of
01:15:28.040 yesterday,
01:15:29.040 and the systems
01:15:31.440 that create
01:15:33.240 friction
01:15:34.280 and make your
01:15:36.000 life complicated.
01:15:36.940 Just don't work
01:15:37.600 anymore.
01:15:38.500 Nobody wants
01:15:39.060 them.
01:15:39.800 Don't prop
01:15:40.340 them up.
01:15:41.480 Get out of
01:15:42.200 that and find
01:15:43.600 passion.
01:15:44.900 Passion brands
01:15:45.900 and friction.
01:15:47.600 We're going to
01:15:47.880 talk about that
01:15:48.600 with a guy who
01:15:49.660 knows it quite
01:15:50.400 well.
01:15:51.160 Beginning right
01:15:51.900 now.
01:15:53.220 I will make
01:15:54.560 you stand.
01:15:55.700 I will raise
01:15:56.720 my voice.
01:15:57.960 I will hold
01:15:58.900 your hand.
01:16:00.380 Because we are
01:16:01.460 one.
01:16:02.240 I will beat
01:16:03.220 my drum.
01:16:04.440 I have made
01:16:05.440 my choice.
01:16:06.700 We will overcome.
01:16:09.000 Because we are
01:16:10.340 one.
01:16:10.640 The fusion of
01:16:12.140 entertainment and
01:16:13.440 enlightenment.
01:16:14.680 This is the
01:16:15.960 Glenn Beck
01:16:17.380 Program.
01:16:19.440 Name of the
01:16:20.160 book that I've
01:16:20.540 been telling you
01:16:20.960 about for weeks
01:16:21.760 and I'm thrilled
01:16:22.240 to be able to
01:16:22.680 have Jeff
01:16:23.040 Rosenblum.
01:16:23.680 He is one of
01:16:24.300 the co-authors
01:16:25.800 of the book
01:16:26.300 Friction,
01:16:26.940 Passion Brands
01:16:27.880 in the Age
01:16:28.440 of Disruption.
01:16:29.700 It is one of
01:16:30.660 those books that
01:16:31.580 you read and
01:16:32.820 you're like,
01:16:33.380 geez,
01:16:33.780 how could I
01:16:35.420 not know
01:16:36.440 that?
01:16:36.680 How did I
01:16:37.020 not think
01:16:37.920 that?
01:16:38.200 How is this
01:16:39.660 all of a sudden?
01:16:40.400 It's one of
01:16:40.740 those things
01:16:41.200 that somebody
01:16:41.680 invents something
01:16:42.360 and you're like,
01:16:43.280 of course.
01:16:44.440 How come I
01:16:45.360 didn't invent
01:16:46.020 that?
01:16:47.260 I want you to
01:16:48.040 know that Jeff
01:16:49.060 is not here to
01:16:49.900 sell books.
01:16:51.580 I highly
01:16:52.780 recommend you
01:16:53.340 buy his book,
01:16:54.560 but he's not
01:16:55.660 taking any of
01:16:56.240 the money from
01:16:56.740 it.
01:16:56.920 It's actually
01:16:57.300 going to
01:16:57.580 something called
01:16:58.000 Special Spectators,
01:16:59.040 which we hope
01:16:59.580 to talk about
01:17:00.100 a little bit
01:17:00.480 later.
01:17:01.080 He will also
01:17:01.600 be with us
01:17:02.040 on Blaze TV
01:17:02.840 for a special
01:17:03.900 episode tonight
01:17:05.000 at 5 o'clock.
01:17:06.700 So he's not
01:17:07.680 here to make
01:17:08.180 any money.
01:17:08.680 He's here
01:17:08.960 to change
01:17:09.380 some lives
01:17:10.520 and you
01:17:11.060 have
01:17:11.500 dramatically
01:17:13.160 impacted my
01:17:14.240 thinking since
01:17:15.340 I picked up
01:17:15.780 your book.
01:17:16.240 So it's great
01:17:16.600 to have you
01:17:16.880 here, Jeff.
01:17:17.240 Thank you
01:17:17.480 for having
01:17:17.740 me.
01:17:18.000 I appreciate
01:17:18.320 it.
01:17:18.680 So tell
01:17:19.440 me,
01:17:20.380 I guess
01:17:20.760 we just
01:17:21.500 need to
01:17:21.800 start at
01:17:22.500 the brands
01:17:23.760 of the past
01:17:24.440 and the
01:17:24.700 brands now.
01:17:25.340 Passion
01:17:25.680 brands.
01:17:26.560 What is
01:17:26.840 it?
01:17:27.540 Well,
01:17:27.840 passion
01:17:28.140 brands are
01:17:28.600 the brands
01:17:29.040 that absolutely
01:17:30.060 dominate the
01:17:31.320 competition,
01:17:32.020 right?
01:17:32.200 They don't
01:17:32.480 just have
01:17:32.860 customers.
01:17:33.620 They have
01:17:34.000 an army
01:17:34.640 of evangelists.
01:17:35.980 These are
01:17:36.240 the folks who
01:17:36.780 are at
01:17:37.060 the bars,
01:17:37.880 at the
01:17:38.160 restaurants,
01:17:38.760 at the
01:17:39.040 dinner table.
01:17:39.760 They sit
01:17:40.060 around the
01:17:40.460 campfire.
01:17:41.380 They're up
01:17:41.620 on their
01:17:41.880 social media
01:17:42.520 channels.
01:17:43.120 They've got
01:17:43.380 the t-shirts.
01:17:44.200 They've got
01:17:44.440 the hats.
01:17:45.040 They're like
01:17:45.320 walking
01:17:45.800 billboards.
01:17:46.880 And they're
01:17:47.360 actively
01:17:47.780 proselytizing
01:17:48.980 for brands.
01:17:50.560 So you
01:17:51.160 talk about
01:17:51.800 one passion
01:17:52.380 brand that
01:17:52.900 really has
01:17:54.540 boggled my
01:17:55.560 mind until I
01:17:56.500 read your
01:17:57.200 book.
01:17:57.780 But I want
01:17:58.440 to ask you
01:17:59.180 some questions
01:17:59.680 about it.
01:18:01.100 And that is
01:18:01.520 Yeti.
01:18:02.160 Yeah.
01:18:02.980 Coolers.
01:18:04.060 Great coolers.
01:18:05.520 Great coolers.
01:18:06.300 The best.
01:18:06.960 But what is
01:18:07.740 it?
01:18:07.900 Four times
01:18:08.680 the price
01:18:09.420 of a good
01:18:10.480 cooler?
01:18:11.040 Yeah.
01:18:11.640 And I've
01:18:13.040 often wondered
01:18:13.900 people who
01:18:15.020 buy this,
01:18:16.280 they become
01:18:16.980 evangelists,
01:18:18.420 and it's a
01:18:19.440 cooler.
01:18:20.320 And I wonder
01:18:21.040 how much of
01:18:21.900 that is because
01:18:22.700 it truly is
01:18:23.820 absolutely great,
01:18:25.120 and how much
01:18:26.100 of that is
01:18:26.820 to soothe the
01:18:28.220 cognitive
01:18:28.720 dissidence in
01:18:29.520 their head of,
01:18:30.520 I just paid
01:18:31.740 four times as
01:18:32.940 much, and
01:18:33.820 everybody who
01:18:34.500 doesn't have
01:18:35.220 one says,
01:18:36.000 what the hell
01:18:36.640 is wrong with
01:18:37.340 you?
01:18:37.860 Yeah.
01:18:38.160 Does that play
01:18:38.780 a role in
01:18:39.260 that at all?
01:18:39.960 Well, absolutely.
01:18:40.840 The answer is
01:18:41.520 both.
01:18:41.880 So to dial it
01:18:42.560 back, and then
01:18:43.180 we'll talk about
01:18:43.780 Yeti, passion
01:18:45.120 brands are built
01:18:45.900 by fighting
01:18:46.500 friction.
01:18:47.380 Friction is
01:18:47.880 anything that
01:18:48.600 gets in the
01:18:48.960 way of what
01:18:49.320 you want to
01:18:49.760 accomplish in
01:18:50.400 life.
01:18:50.720 It's anything
01:18:51.040 that gets in
01:18:51.520 the way of
01:18:51.780 your hopes,
01:18:52.320 your dreams,
01:18:52.880 your aspirations,
01:18:53.860 or even your
01:18:54.600 mundane day-to-day
01:18:55.760 goals.
01:18:56.700 So when you
01:18:57.060 think about
01:18:57.500 Yeti, it's a
01:18:58.780 cooler for the
01:18:59.280 outdoors.
01:18:59.820 So by definition,
01:19:00.600 if you're using
01:19:01.300 it, you're going
01:19:01.860 on some sort
01:19:02.520 of outdoor
01:19:03.020 adventure.
01:19:03.960 So they fight
01:19:04.620 friction in two
01:19:05.420 ways.
01:19:05.820 The first is,
01:19:06.880 this cooler is
01:19:07.960 fundamentally better
01:19:09.140 than any other
01:19:10.160 cooler out there.
01:19:11.220 It's literally
01:19:11.900 certified Grizzly
01:19:13.600 Bear proof.
01:19:15.220 Now, the chances
01:19:16.640 of anyone actually
01:19:17.800 needing that type
01:19:18.740 of technology,
01:19:19.640 fairly negligible.
01:19:21.760 I'd like a
01:19:22.320 cooler that I
01:19:22.800 could pick up
01:19:23.260 and throw at
01:19:24.140 the Grizzly
01:19:24.700 Bear.
01:19:25.960 Mark it down,
01:19:26.960 Yeti, that's
01:19:27.420 the next product.
01:19:28.080 But it's
01:19:29.920 nice to know
01:19:30.580 if you're going
01:19:31.300 on that
01:19:31.920 adventure, that
01:19:32.980 product that
01:19:33.580 you're buying can
01:19:34.440 go further and
01:19:35.440 deeper and bigger
01:19:36.720 on an adventure.
01:19:37.940 But to your
01:19:38.660 point, it's not
01:19:39.460 just about the
01:19:40.880 cooler, it's about
01:19:41.860 the totality of
01:19:42.820 the experience.
01:19:43.660 And what they've
01:19:44.140 done that I love
01:19:45.220 is rather than
01:19:46.260 relying on a
01:19:46.940 bunch of
01:19:47.240 interruptive ads,
01:19:48.400 they've created
01:19:48.860 these incredible
01:19:49.820 videos.
01:19:51.040 Each of these
01:19:51.540 videos are about
01:19:52.280 eight minutes
01:19:52.860 long, and there
01:19:53.460 are dozens of
01:19:54.360 them, and they've
01:19:54.800 been watched
01:19:55.280 millions of times
01:19:56.680 over.
01:19:57.340 And what they
01:19:57.780 do is they
01:19:58.260 tell these
01:19:58.800 stories about
01:19:59.480 people who are
01:20:00.120 going on bigger
01:20:00.940 and bolder
01:20:01.580 adventures than
01:20:02.640 most people ever
01:20:03.560 will.
01:20:03.960 The world's
01:20:04.440 greatest fly
01:20:05.020 fisherman, the
01:20:05.540 world's greatest
01:20:05.980 ski guy, the
01:20:06.720 world's greatest
01:20:07.200 barbecue pit
01:20:08.100 master who
01:20:08.620 happens to be
01:20:09.060 an 89-year-old
01:20:09.980 woman named
01:20:11.020 Tootsie.
01:20:11.840 These are great
01:20:12.840 stories, and
01:20:13.720 they're not
01:20:14.060 products about
01:20:14.600 like, we're
01:20:15.100 Yeti, and
01:20:15.660 these are great
01:20:16.160 coolers.
01:20:16.660 Yeti doesn't
01:20:17.240 even appear
01:20:17.860 really in these
01:20:19.040 videos.
01:20:19.800 But what happens
01:20:20.680 is they give
01:20:21.520 us a vision, a
01:20:23.440 bigger and bolder
01:20:24.340 vision of
01:20:24.800 ourselves.
01:20:25.240 We all wake
01:20:26.240 up in the
01:20:26.620 morning wanting
01:20:27.400 to be better
01:20:28.080 than we were
01:20:28.700 the day before.
01:20:29.740 It's at the
01:20:30.120 heart of the
01:20:30.480 human experience.
01:20:31.260 It's what drives
01:20:31.860 capitalism.
01:20:33.000 So these great
01:20:33.700 videos help us
01:20:34.620 envision that.
01:20:35.740 And by the
01:20:36.060 way, I've
01:20:36.660 watched hours of
01:20:37.440 them.
01:20:37.620 Most people
01:20:38.080 will watch a
01:20:38.800 few of them.
01:20:39.620 The typical
01:20:40.300 interactive ad
01:20:41.600 experience is
01:20:42.800 1.6 seconds.
01:20:45.280 Compare that to
01:20:45.940 an 8-minute video
01:20:46.960 over and over.
01:20:48.300 I watched the
01:20:48.800 fly-fishing one.
01:20:49.780 It's 22 minutes.
01:20:51.100 I watched it.
01:20:52.560 Every second of
01:20:53.300 it.
01:20:53.440 Yeah.
01:20:53.780 And I don't
01:20:54.280 watch it.
01:20:55.160 Here's what I
01:20:55.900 do.
01:20:56.640 And I hear from
01:20:58.540 the guys, because
01:20:59.100 I'm not a sports
01:20:59.680 guy, but I hear
01:21:00.680 from the guys on
01:21:01.360 sports every
01:21:02.760 Monday, I hear,
01:21:06.320 oh, and I know
01:21:07.840 they're on ESPN
01:21:09.000 trying to just get
01:21:10.400 the six-second
01:21:11.360 clip and they have
01:21:12.740 to sit through the
01:21:13.580 commercial.
01:21:14.240 Yes.
01:21:14.540 That's not 22
01:21:15.120 minutes.
01:21:15.880 It's agonizing.
01:21:16.100 And that's just
01:21:17.000 in the way of
01:21:17.920 getting to their
01:21:18.500 six seconds.
01:21:19.480 Yeah.
01:21:20.280 Pre-rolls.
01:21:21.240 You know, the
01:21:22.700 advertising industry,
01:21:23.800 we keep making
01:21:24.880 ads, and the
01:21:25.980 audience keeps
01:21:27.080 running away.
01:21:28.300 Now, to be clear,
01:21:29.300 this is not about
01:21:30.180 the death of
01:21:30.820 advertising.
01:21:31.580 That false eulogy
01:21:32.380 has been written
01:21:33.020 before.
01:21:33.720 We're just asking
01:21:34.540 advertising to do
01:21:35.880 too much.
01:21:36.800 We can still do
01:21:37.580 incredible things
01:21:38.560 with advertising,
01:21:39.500 but increasingly,
01:21:40.600 those traditional
01:21:41.260 interruptive ads are
01:21:42.660 being ignored and
01:21:43.980 avoided.
01:21:44.580 In fact, just
01:21:45.980 removing the
01:21:46.740 friction from
01:21:47.540 your product will
01:21:48.800 do more than
01:21:49.820 any ad.
01:21:51.280 If you make a
01:21:52.580 truly great
01:21:53.400 product, and you
01:21:55.280 make it frictionless,
01:21:57.160 and not only, I
01:21:58.140 mean, let's go into
01:21:58.640 the passion brands a
01:21:59.680 little bit, of
01:22:00.900 finding that group
01:22:02.900 of people, and
01:22:04.380 let me ask you, do
01:22:05.880 you need to really
01:22:07.220 have an authentic
01:22:07.980 brand?
01:22:09.300 Does that need to
01:22:10.060 come from the
01:22:11.540 founders that are
01:22:12.460 like, you know
01:22:12.940 what, I wanted
01:22:13.820 this.
01:22:14.320 I know this.
01:22:15.980 This is great, and
01:22:16.600 I don't care if
01:22:17.080 anybody buys it, or
01:22:18.440 does it come from a
01:22:19.240 group of people who
01:22:19.960 are just scanning the
01:22:21.480 horizon and saying,
01:22:23.280 yeah, those people
01:22:25.120 over there, let's
01:22:26.080 come up with
01:22:26.900 something for there.
01:22:27.800 Does it matter?
01:22:29.240 Well, I think it
01:22:29.940 comes from both, but
01:22:30.980 most passion brands
01:22:32.200 that we see, and
01:22:32.900 they can be big
01:22:33.540 brands like Under
01:22:34.460 Armor, they can be
01:22:35.380 big brands like
01:22:36.660 Amazon, or some of
01:22:37.540 them are smaller
01:22:38.040 startups.
01:22:38.640 They tend to be run
01:22:39.600 by the founders
01:22:40.260 because they have a
01:22:40.980 strong vision, and
01:22:41.700 they don't want to
01:22:42.280 waver from that
01:22:43.160 vision.
01:22:43.540 But it can be
01:22:44.920 from large
01:22:45.480 established corporations.
01:22:47.320 One of the
01:22:47.660 interesting things
01:22:48.400 that we found is
01:22:49.720 that really the
01:22:50.720 key is to take
01:22:52.500 all your effort, and
01:22:53.880 instead of first
01:22:54.660 focusing it outward
01:22:55.800 at messaging, focus
01:22:57.640 it inward at your
01:22:58.860 own behaviors.
01:23:00.560 And a piece of
01:23:01.480 research we found is
01:23:02.320 what's called the
01:23:02.920 power score.
01:23:03.820 And they looked at
01:23:04.440 9 million different
01:23:05.500 data points.
01:23:06.160 They interviewed 20
01:23:07.640 self-made billionaires
01:23:08.760 and CEOs and army
01:23:09.980 generals and insurgents.
01:23:11.700 What they found is
01:23:13.200 only 1%, only 1%
01:23:15.800 of leaders are
01:23:17.060 great at what they
01:23:17.880 call the power
01:23:18.480 score, which is
01:23:19.240 establishing your
01:23:20.020 priorities, staffing
01:23:21.440 effectively, and
01:23:22.540 building internal
01:23:23.420 communication cadence.
01:23:24.960 So if you can have
01:23:26.320 great leadership, then
01:23:27.700 you can build a great
01:23:28.480 passion brand, and
01:23:29.240 ironically, you can
01:23:30.040 create great ads.
01:23:30.960 But you have to focus
01:23:31.980 inward before outward.
01:23:33.520 Some amazing things
01:23:36.780 that I just didn't
01:23:41.080 know.
01:23:41.540 For instance, some
01:23:42.400 stats in your book.
01:23:45.180 Let me just run
01:23:46.160 through a few of
01:23:46.940 them.
01:23:48.100 90% of all of the
01:23:49.920 data in the world
01:23:51.000 has been collected
01:23:52.180 in the last two
01:23:53.700 years.
01:23:55.240 That's astounding.
01:23:57.620 40 minutes in nature
01:23:59.120 every week will lower
01:24:01.000 ADHD by 50%.
01:24:03.620 Don't put your
01:24:06.400 smartphone or your
01:24:08.360 iPad next to your
01:24:09.620 bed.
01:24:11.140 Take that on.
01:24:12.920 That.
01:24:13.600 It's interesting
01:24:14.260 because so many
01:24:15.180 people loved it, and
01:24:15.940 we weren't sure if
01:24:16.580 that actually fits in
01:24:17.800 the book.
01:24:18.260 But what we tried to
01:24:18.980 do with the book is
01:24:19.680 look at industrial
01:24:21.060 friction, organizational
01:24:22.520 friction, and personal
01:24:23.740 friction.
01:24:24.380 And in that example, we
01:24:26.000 found this great story
01:24:26.740 about Keith Richards,
01:24:28.240 world's greatest guitar
01:24:29.240 player, or one of
01:24:30.180 people, and one
01:24:31.400 night, he's out
01:24:32.480 doing the one thing
01:24:33.340 that he does in this
01:24:34.060 world better than
01:24:35.320 play guitar.
01:24:36.480 He's partying like a
01:24:37.500 rock star.
01:24:38.560 And he passes out
01:24:39.540 cold, and he wakes up
01:24:40.780 the next day, and he's
01:24:42.080 got a song in his head.
01:24:43.620 And his guitar is
01:24:45.060 literally lying in bed
01:24:46.220 lovingly with him.
01:24:47.380 He grabs guitar, rolls
01:24:48.740 over, presses record on
01:24:49.920 his tape recorder, lays
01:24:51.100 down a few notes, passes
01:24:52.460 out cold again.
01:24:53.920 Wakes up a couple hours
01:24:55.020 later, presses play, and
01:24:57.240 he finds the guitar riff
01:24:58.480 for satisfaction.
01:25:00.180 He's waiting for him.
01:25:01.860 Of course, and it's
01:25:02.560 followed by the sound
01:25:03.360 of him snoring.
01:25:04.680 He's not even conscious
01:25:05.760 enough to press stop on
01:25:07.500 the recorder.
01:25:09.080 Paul McCartney had a
01:25:09.920 similar experience.
01:25:10.900 He woke up one day, and
01:25:11.780 he's got a song,
01:25:12.560 Scrambled Eggs, in his
01:25:13.620 head.
01:25:14.120 Can't stop with his song,
01:25:15.360 Scrambled Eggs.
01:25:15.860 He's turning to all his
01:25:16.580 bandmates, turning to all
01:25:17.440 his friends.
01:25:17.800 He's like, what song have I
01:25:19.080 ripped off here?
01:25:19.940 And they're like, dude,
01:25:21.020 you didn't.
01:25:21.620 It's your song.
01:25:22.440 It's Scrambled Eggs.
01:25:23.220 It's your original.
01:25:24.320 And thankfully, he went to
01:25:25.520 John Lennon.
01:25:26.120 He turned it from
01:25:26.900 Scrambled Eggs to
01:25:28.380 yesterday.
01:25:29.500 Scrambled Eggs.
01:25:31.340 Amazing.
01:25:32.000 Not quite as catchy when
01:25:33.140 you're talking about
01:25:33.720 breakfast food, right?
01:25:35.040 Right.
01:25:35.380 So, and it didn't only
01:25:36.740 happen to rock stars.
01:25:37.580 The guy who figured out
01:25:38.540 the periodic table of the
01:25:39.620 elements, the guy who
01:25:40.440 figured out the double
01:25:41.240 helix with DNA.
01:25:43.320 All of this happened first
01:25:44.700 thing in the morning when
01:25:45.460 people woke up.
01:25:46.660 And what happens is, in
01:25:47.980 your brain, you've got
01:25:48.840 something called alpha
01:25:50.320 waves.
01:25:50.920 It's the most powerful form
01:25:52.440 of cognitive creativity that
01:25:54.460 you have.
01:25:55.260 This is where you can
01:25:56.020 think of some big, bold
01:25:57.220 breakthrough ideas.
01:25:58.160 It's the same thing that
01:25:58.840 you get if you're in a hot
01:25:59.720 shower, a hot bath, you're
01:26:01.240 in traffic for a while, your
01:26:02.420 alpha waves kick in.
01:26:03.400 You start ignoring all that
01:26:04.480 crap that's in your head.
01:26:06.560 Now, the issue is, to your
01:26:08.040 point, 72% of us go to bed
01:26:10.860 with our cell phone lying next
01:26:12.880 to us.
01:26:13.540 50% of us, the very first
01:26:15.140 thing that we do is we check
01:26:16.520 it.
01:26:17.020 One-third of women, before
01:26:18.200 they even go to the bathroom,
01:26:19.640 they check social media.
01:26:21.620 The problem is, when you do
01:26:22.960 that, you completely shut
01:26:24.340 off those alpha waves.
01:26:26.220 You lose that opportunity to
01:26:28.120 have that cognitive creativity.
01:26:29.600 And why is that?
01:26:30.880 Because it kicks in your
01:26:32.000 fight-or-flight system, which
01:26:33.500 is something we learned about
01:26:34.440 in high school, right?
01:26:35.280 It's when the blood flow
01:26:36.760 changes.
01:26:37.280 It used to be something that
01:26:38.660 kept us from getting eaten by
01:26:39.840 woolly mammoths.
01:26:40.700 Now it's the type of thing that
01:26:41.720 keeps us by getting run over
01:26:43.320 by a car, right?
01:26:44.560 Your subconscious takes over,
01:26:46.200 your brain pivots, you get
01:26:47.300 different chemicals like
01:26:48.300 adrenaline and cortisol in
01:26:49.740 there.
01:26:50.300 And that's what happens with
01:26:51.300 your cell phone, because
01:26:52.160 there's stresses.
01:26:52.960 Your buddy on Facebook who
01:26:54.960 just went on a better
01:26:55.680 vacation than you'll ever go
01:26:56.960 on, that's stressful, right?
01:26:58.600 The server that's on fire,
01:26:59.740 the contract that didn't get
01:27:00.840 signed, whatever it is on
01:27:01.860 email, that's all stress.
01:27:03.660 So you're turning off that
01:27:04.900 creativity and you're creating
01:27:06.260 stress.
01:27:07.200 Now here's the interesting
01:27:08.080 point.
01:27:09.500 They used to think that your
01:27:10.600 brain was your brain and
01:27:12.380 that's all you got.
01:27:13.600 It turns out that there's a
01:27:14.880 high degree of plasticity in
01:27:17.220 your brain, which means it
01:27:18.940 can change.
01:27:20.000 Just like that cheap analogy
01:27:21.220 that says your brain is like a
01:27:22.460 muscle, you got to work it.
01:27:23.660 Turns out it's true.
01:27:24.740 You can actually change the
01:27:26.140 size and shape of certain
01:27:27.220 areas of your brain and it
01:27:28.520 happens very quickly.
01:27:30.000 So when you go to your mobile
01:27:31.080 device first thing in the
01:27:32.020 morning, you turn off the
01:27:32.860 creativity, you turn on the
01:27:34.000 fight or flight.
01:27:35.020 For the rest of the day,
01:27:36.340 you're not going to be as
01:27:37.480 creative.
01:27:38.300 So with the 90 million bits of
01:27:40.640 information, 90% of the data
01:27:42.180 that's been collected in the
01:27:43.020 past two years, everybody has
01:27:45.420 unprecedented access to data
01:27:47.940 and technology.
01:27:50.080 Creativity is the ultimate
01:27:51.720 competitive advantage and you
01:27:53.420 have to feed your creativity
01:27:55.380 just like you have to work out
01:27:57.160 your body at the gym.
01:27:58.640 When we come back, I want you
01:27:59.520 to talk about...
01:28:00.200 We know all about the gym.
01:28:01.280 That's for sure.
01:28:01.980 You talked to a good crew.
01:28:03.220 I don't know.
01:28:04.500 That's why I went there.
01:28:05.500 I did say...
01:28:06.140 So you're speaking our
01:28:07.580 language.
01:28:08.620 When we come back, I want you
01:28:09.620 to talk about monkeys and how
01:28:13.720 this relates to monkeys and
01:28:15.540 then back to us in just a
01:28:17.600 second.
01:28:18.220 First, let me tell you about
01:28:18.980 our sponsor this half hour.
01:28:20.980 It is American Financing.
01:28:23.080 Here's the thing.
01:28:23.720 So many people, when they
01:28:25.220 talk about buying a new
01:28:26.840 house, they will say things
01:28:28.400 like, we find out if the
01:28:30.400 bank's going to give us the
01:28:31.540 loan.
01:28:32.800 Give you the loan?
01:28:34.040 They're not giving you the
01:28:35.440 loan.
01:28:35.780 They're selling you the loan.
01:28:37.160 But the entire system has been
01:28:39.280 set up to feel like you're
01:28:41.700 going in and they're going to
01:28:43.300 give you the loan.
01:28:44.720 You're paying an extraordinary
01:28:46.280 high, large amount of money
01:28:48.380 for that loan.
01:28:50.300 Let me flip this.
01:28:52.200 American Financing, they do not
01:28:54.640 take kickbacks from the banks
01:28:57.040 because the banks have these,
01:28:58.520 they're called instruments,
01:28:59.540 loans, and they want certain
01:29:01.960 loans to be sold to people, not
01:29:04.620 given to you, sold to people, so
01:29:07.100 they can make the maximum amount
01:29:08.720 of money.
01:29:09.240 And so what the banks have,
01:29:10.860 usually, and all of the
01:29:12.020 different kinds of lenders,
01:29:12.820 is somebody that is on a
01:29:15.400 commission.
01:29:16.380 You sell the loan that that
01:29:18.500 bank is trying to push, you're
01:29:20.720 going to get extra commission,
01:29:21.880 so you make more money.
01:29:23.460 The first thing that American
01:29:25.240 Financing did when they set
01:29:26.440 themselves up was get rid of all
01:29:28.060 commissions.
01:29:28.780 They don't work for the banks or
01:29:30.800 any of their partners for
01:29:32.060 lending.
01:29:32.900 They work for you.
01:29:34.200 So when you go in to get a
01:29:35.880 loan, you're going to find the
01:29:36.900 loan that is right for you.
01:29:39.160 Reverse mortgages now are also
01:29:40.840 available.
01:29:41.360 Do your own homework on
01:29:42.160 reverse mortgages, but call
01:29:44.300 800-906-2440, 1-800-906-2440,
01:29:50.900 or you can go to
01:29:52.040 AmericanFinancing.net.
01:29:53.960 These people are looking out for
01:29:55.560 you.

01:30:04.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:30:10.720 Mercury.
01:30:14.880 888-727-BECK.
01:30:17.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:30:19.940 A game-changing book in your
01:30:22.800 thinking is Friction, Passion Brands
01:30:27.300 in the Age of Disruption.
01:30:28.660 There is so much friction in our
01:30:32.900 lives from chaos, just from the
01:30:36.940 news, just trying to understand the
01:30:39.120 political revolution.
01:30:40.420 It's all friction.
01:30:42.460 And being able to reduce that and
01:30:44.080 navigate through that is really
01:30:47.000 hard.
01:30:48.160 And I think people are getting really
01:30:49.840 frustrated in some ways with life,
01:30:51.680 and they're just tuning out.
01:30:53.300 They're just stopping.
01:30:54.120 And that's really because the media
01:30:56.960 or the politicians or the parties or
01:30:59.300 whatever you're dealing with just
01:31:00.800 are not changing.
01:31:02.080 They're holding on to the old system.
01:31:06.800 Yeah.
01:31:07.100 And it doesn't work.
01:31:08.720 I was blown away.
01:31:09.780 Where did you get the monkey thing
01:31:10.820 and then explain the monkey thing?
01:31:12.580 Yeah, it's interesting.
01:31:13.480 When I was writing the book, we set up
01:31:15.100 a research team.
01:31:15.940 I read literally tens of thousands of
01:31:17.740 data points, thousands of pages of
01:31:19.300 research, and I'm a complete numbnut.
01:31:21.680 I barely graduated college, right?
01:31:23.300 But I'm hanging out with my really
01:31:25.180 smart friend.
01:31:26.340 He's a PhD at Stanford.
01:31:29.240 He's a neuroscientist, and he's telling
01:31:30.580 me about this study that they conduct
01:31:32.280 all the time.
01:31:33.720 And what happens is when you go to get
01:31:35.820 your PhD, they often give you this
01:31:39.260 experiment where they take an electric
01:31:41.100 probe, and they put it into a monkey's
01:31:44.360 brain to read what's going on inside
01:31:48.000 that brain.
01:31:48.760 And then what they do is they play this
01:31:50.560 loud, blaring, obnoxious sound in the
01:31:54.440 monkey's ear.
01:31:55.640 And what you see on the readout is not
01:31:57.940 surprising.
01:31:58.660 When you play that awful sound, you get
01:32:00.320 a very strong and very negative reaction
01:32:02.600 from the monkey's brain.
01:32:04.540 So then they repeat the experiment.
01:32:06.520 They play that loud, blaring, obnoxious
01:32:08.680 sound, and what you find, again, is not
01:32:11.380 surprising.
01:32:12.260 They have a very strong and very negative
01:32:14.040 reaction.
01:32:14.540 But what was absolutely shocking to me
01:32:17.460 is that if you repeat the experiment a
01:32:19.980 few times over, and then you look at the
01:32:22.560 readout, the reaction looks like the side
01:32:25.000 of a cliff.
01:32:26.360 The monkey's brain literally stops reacting
01:32:29.240 to this awful sound because the monkey, at a
01:32:33.120 structural level, knows that it needs to
01:32:36.100 focus on other things in life.
01:32:38.500 Food, water, shelter, fornication, right?
01:32:41.280 If it continues to respond so strongly to
01:32:44.580 that stimulus, it literally can't survive.
01:32:47.760 It's called repetition suppression.
01:32:50.860 So are we in, before we go into this on the
01:32:54.600 decisions that we make in every day, but are
01:32:56.660 we seeing this, is this one of the reasons
01:32:59.440 why we are just tuning so many things out in
01:33:03.960 Washington?
01:33:04.660 We're tuning principles out.
01:33:05.920 We're tuning all kinds of stuff out because
01:33:07.820 we just can't do anything about it and we keep
01:33:11.260 hearing it, shout it over and over and over
01:33:13.080 and over again, and we have to focus on
01:33:15.960 other things, or am I reading that right?
01:33:18.760 That's exactly right.
01:33:19.780 The human brain is exposed to 400 billion
01:33:23.580 bits of information every second.
01:33:26.100 We make 35,000 conscious decisions per day.
01:33:30.300 We ran an experiment.
01:33:31.540 So wait, wait, that's 35,000 yes or no
01:33:34.140 decisions?
01:33:35.000 Yeah.
01:33:35.520 It could be more complicated than yes or no.
01:33:37.220 These are outright conscious decisions per day.
01:33:39.780 That is crazy.
01:33:40.600 Right?
01:33:41.460 So brands, politicians, we're all trying to
01:33:44.240 enter this stream.
01:33:46.300 We expose people to 5,000 branded messages
01:33:49.360 per day.
01:33:50.960 The previous generation was only 2,000.
01:33:53.100 Already that was too much.
01:33:54.820 So what we have to do is focus less on
01:33:57.620 interruptions and more on empowerment.
01:34:00.680 Or another way of looking at it is magnets
01:34:02.900 over megaphones.
01:34:04.280 We have to create content and experiences
01:34:06.520 that are so powerful, people go out of their way
01:34:09.800 to participate in them, and then share them
01:34:12.960 with others.
01:34:13.840 And that's the secret ingredient to brands like
01:34:16.220 Yeti.
01:34:18.380 Patagonia, you think, is the pinnacle of a
01:34:22.160 passion brand?
01:34:23.540 Patagonia is one of them.
01:34:24.780 Why?
01:34:25.480 Well, I fell in love with those guys because,
01:34:28.020 first of all, they recognize that there's friction
01:34:30.520 in the category.
01:34:31.380 And what they do is they focus all of their efforts
01:34:34.780 on fighting that friction.
01:34:36.260 So the friction is this.
01:34:37.560 If you want to enjoy their outdoor gear and apparel,
01:34:41.160 you need a healthy outdoors.
01:34:43.440 And ironically, when they create their products,
01:34:46.440 it actually damages the outdoors, right?
01:34:48.540 They create manufacturing byproducts.
01:34:50.160 Your old jacket makes garbage, right?
01:34:52.060 So everything that they do, they fight friction
01:34:54.400 by empowering people.
01:34:55.620 Okay, so when we come back, listen to the ad campaign
01:34:59.060 that they came up with.
01:35:01.880 And it's brilliant.
01:35:05.120 Brilliant.
01:35:06.060 Patagonia Friction is the name of the book.
01:35:08.700 Jeff Rosenblum joins us again in just a few minutes.
01:35:11.760 Friction, passion brands in the age of disruption.
01:35:15.160 Back in a minute.
01:35:19.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:35:23.260 Mercury.
01:35:25.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:35:30.440 I will tell you, if you really want to see the world
01:35:35.120 in a different way, especially if you're an entrepreneur
01:35:39.520 or a leader of any sort, you really want to see the future
01:35:45.460 and whether what you're doing will survive or not,
01:35:49.760 you need to read the book Friction,
01:35:51.660 Passion Brands in the Age of Disruption.
01:35:53.520 Jeff Rosenblum is with us.
01:35:57.480 And you were giving us the example of Patagonia.
01:36:01.800 Patagonia making outdoor clothing,
01:36:05.160 and they really are dedicated to, you know,
01:36:07.660 save the planet and everything else.
01:36:09.720 And so that's where their people are.
01:36:12.420 And the friction that they had internally was, you know,
01:36:17.840 all of the stuff that we make, the chemicals and everything,
01:36:21.700 the garbage, that's actually hurting.
01:36:24.800 So how are we helping exactly?
01:36:27.140 So talk about the campaign that they ran with a coat.
01:36:30.320 So you hit on a really important point.
01:36:33.280 For their target audience, making the environment healthier
01:36:36.660 is absolutely paramount, right?
01:36:39.980 So the campaign that I love, I came across, not when I was doing research,
01:36:44.480 but we actually created this documentary called The Naked Brand.
01:36:47.400 And we looked at one of their campaigns called The Footprint Chronicles,
01:36:50.820 where it was like, you know if you've got those surfer board shorts
01:36:53.640 and you go surfing and you come back on the beach
01:36:55.820 and they dry like 45 seconds later?
01:36:57.920 Well, guess what?
01:36:59.020 Mother Nature didn't make those shorts.
01:37:01.780 We made them.
01:37:02.740 We manufactured them.
01:37:03.760 They're manufacturing byproducts.
01:37:05.100 So you can actually follow the manufacturing of their products
01:37:08.040 around the globe, see the supply chain,
01:37:10.240 and they're not saying, hey, look how great we are.
01:37:12.100 They're literally talking about the damage they do.
01:37:14.100 It's really counterintuitive.
01:37:15.940 I found it fascinating, and I fell in love with the brand.
01:37:18.740 And I wanted to buy this blue Patagonia jacket.
01:37:22.280 I had a perfect vision of it in my mind's eye.
01:37:24.240 And I'm literally shopping on Black Friday.
01:37:28.100 It's the number one shopping day of the year.
01:37:30.180 Brands sell more on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving,
01:37:33.000 than in months combined.
01:37:34.580 And I type in patagonia.com, and on the homepage,
01:37:37.860 like they read my mind, I can't exaggerate this,
01:37:40.240 is the blue jacket that I wanted to buy.
01:37:43.080 And then right next to it, on the homepage,
01:37:45.640 in a giant font, don't buy this jacket.
01:37:51.840 What the heck is going on here?
01:37:53.360 And then there's a button, like direct response principles.
01:37:56.580 Click on it.
01:37:57.080 Learn more.
01:37:57.460 So I click.
01:37:58.380 And their point is this.
01:37:59.480 Reduce, reuse, recycle.
01:38:02.680 Reduce is number one.
01:38:04.660 So if you want to buy that jacket, we're happy to sell it to you.
01:38:07.920 But we're going to damage the environment from the manufacturing,
01:38:11.260 from the garbage roll jacket.
01:38:12.900 Maybe you don't need that jacket.
01:38:14.900 Maybe you should buy less.
01:38:17.180 So I'm Jewish.
01:38:18.600 I'm from New York.
01:38:19.440 I felt guilty.
01:38:20.140 I didn't buy the jacket.
01:38:22.140 They lost the sale.
01:38:24.640 But here's what they gained.
01:38:26.060 They gained my unwavering loyalty.
01:38:30.100 And they gained my evangelism.
01:38:32.100 So here we are on your show talking about Patagonia.
01:38:35.120 But more influential than me are the people who are truly influential,
01:38:38.860 the guides, right?
01:38:40.040 These are the guys who are leading hiking and biking and fly fishing
01:38:44.500 and surfing adventures all around the world.
01:38:46.740 And by definition, guides are influential.
01:38:50.280 And they're covered from head to toe in Patagonia gear.
01:38:53.520 Because Patagonia is empathetic and empowers people about the one thing
01:38:59.100 that is most important to those guides.
01:39:01.940 And when you talk about evangelists, they are 12 times or more trusted
01:39:06.520 than paid advertising ever will be.
01:39:09.640 Wow.
01:39:10.000 And also their competition is similar in that way, right?
01:39:13.880 They try to reduce North Face.
01:39:16.300 They reduce friction for their customers as well.
01:39:19.200 Yeah, it's a great point.
01:39:20.040 Thanks for bringing it up.
01:39:20.820 Because we can't just all jump on the environmental bandwagon.
01:39:23.960 We can't jump on what other brands are already doing.
01:39:27.160 That would look really disingenuous.
01:39:28.860 Totally disingenuous, right?
01:39:30.820 People don't wake up in the morning wanting brands to, like,
01:39:33.820 hug the trees and save the manatees, right?
01:39:35.900 It works for some brands.
01:39:38.160 North Face took a different tact, which is if you want to enjoy outdoor sports
01:39:42.400 and apparel, we're going to help you become a better athlete.
01:39:45.940 So they created what they call the Mountain Series, right?
01:39:49.180 And it's a bunch of instructional videos and information and articles and events
01:39:54.300 that help people become better athletes.
01:39:57.340 So I fell in love with this video series.
01:39:59.960 It was from some of the best rock climbers and the best skiers.
01:40:02.840 And they were showing very specific exercises to help me become a better skier.
01:40:07.760 What's interesting was I don't think it worked all that well for them
01:40:10.760 because they made less of those videos and became less prominent.
01:40:14.100 But they stick to this platform.
01:40:16.020 They're always empowering and they're always educating with different events
01:40:19.040 and different information to help people become better athletes.
01:40:23.200 You don't see the ads or you do see the ads that say,
01:40:25.580 hey, we're North Face, these are great products.
01:40:27.660 But more importantly, they create content and experiences.
01:40:30.640 So the ads are only part of that brand building system.
01:40:34.060 It's not the totality of it.
01:40:36.160 You go through a lot of this stuff, obviously, in the book, Friction.
01:40:38.460 And I have a friend who goes to SoulCycle, which is a cycling, spinning class place.
01:40:46.080 Bordering on a cult.
01:40:46.900 Yes.
01:40:47.600 Literally, the number one thing people say to her is shut up about SoulCycle.
01:40:52.680 It's like the number one thing that happens to her.
01:40:54.480 It's like Orange Theory.
01:40:56.020 Orange Theory is like, okay, stop with the bumper stickers.
01:40:59.260 Because it's a gym, man.
01:41:00.300 Let it go.
01:41:02.540 And so the question I want to ask you is how do I get her to shut up about SoulCycle?
01:41:06.180 But separately, because I look at their business model and I see a huge friction point,
01:41:13.360 which is they're charging people $31 to come in and ride a bike in their establishment for an hour.
01:41:19.900 Yes.
01:41:20.260 And to me, that sounds completely insane.
01:41:22.640 Yet they have more evangelists percentage-wise probably than any company I've ever seen.
01:41:26.400 How do you cross over a huge friction point like that and bring your audience along?
01:41:31.680 Great point.
01:41:32.680 Great brand.
01:41:33.460 I should have included them in the book.
01:41:34.940 I actually thought about those guys a lot.
01:41:36.380 I was scared out of my mind to actually go in there.
01:41:38.300 I don't want to have to sweat that hard.
01:41:39.980 I was like, I'll find another brand.
01:41:41.260 You guys selling salad?
01:41:42.420 We'll do that.
01:41:42.940 There's a bad brand.
01:41:43.880 Salad.
01:41:44.680 I like the part on Cadbury, for the love of God.
01:41:48.740 Salad.
01:41:49.120 The chocolate brand was also a lot easier than SoulCycle.
01:41:51.640 Yeah, that was a good one.
01:41:52.360 Here's the interesting point that you just mentioned, is these passion brands, they don't get there by talking about discounts and promotions.
01:42:01.560 And once brands go there, it becomes really addictive.
01:42:04.520 They actually charge a premium price.
01:42:06.780 Patagonia, Yeti, SoulCycle, Sweetgreen, all of this stuff is quite a bit more expensive than the competition.
01:42:14.240 And it has to be worth it first.
01:42:16.940 It has to be worth, if you're buying a dozen eggs, you better get 14 and great farm fresh eggs if you're charging.
01:42:24.560 Or at least you're better than whatever else you could buy.
01:42:26.740 Yeah, you have to be that first.
01:42:29.540 There's none of this, you know, hey, Fred Flintstone saying that, you know, doctors say smoking is healthy.
01:42:36.100 It's got to actually be accurate, right?
01:42:38.600 Like, there's a great poster I saw, no amount of advertising can get me to buy your crappy pizza, right?
01:42:45.840 And the truth of the matter is, it actually can.
01:42:48.280 It can get you to buy that crappy pizza once.
01:42:50.740 But it's not going to get loyalty, and it's not going to get evangelism.
01:42:54.460 So you're hitting on a key point, which you made with Yeti, which is the product has to be better than the competition.
01:43:00.260 It doesn't have to be two or three times better, but it has to be 10, 20, 30, 40% better, right?
01:43:05.080 But to your point, that relationship that people have with SoulCycle is irrational, right?
01:43:12.780 Yes.
01:43:13.540 Yeah, I can confirm that, yes.
01:43:15.780 The reason that it's irrational is that it's emotional.
01:43:18.780 Most brands have a transactional relationship, right?
01:43:22.100 They make a good product, they charge a fair price, they have some pretty good advertising, people comparison shop, and then they buy.
01:43:29.400 SoulCycle and other brands have an emotional relationship where people pay more for the product.
01:43:36.460 They ignore the competition.
01:43:38.360 They buy all that SoulCycle and other gear, and they turn themselves into walking billboards.
01:43:43.840 And they do that, they create that irrational relationship through irrational behavior.
01:43:50.960 Think about that Patagonia example.
01:43:52.780 Running a campaign that says, don't buy this jacket, that's irrational.
01:43:57.000 So, Starbucks really was kind of a pioneer in this kind of area, weren't they?
01:44:01.980 Where everybody was going to Dunkin' Donuts, you're getting your coffee at a normal price, and then all of a sudden, here comes Starbucks, charging money out the nose.
01:44:09.640 But it became more than a coffee place.
01:44:12.560 Yeah.
01:44:13.000 Well, it went from transactional.
01:44:15.320 I like Dunkin' Donuts, I'm from the Northeast, it's got a great cup of coffee, but it's transactional.
01:44:19.140 You're in, you're out, you move on.
01:44:20.320 Correct.
01:44:20.880 Howard Schultz was like, wait a second, let's make this experiential.
01:44:24.820 Let's look at what's going on in Europe, let's sell them the cup of coffee, and then give them a place to hang out.
01:44:30.620 And then all of a sudden, almost like SoulCycle, it's almost cultish in the language that people are using when they're ordering from SoulCycle, but they're becoming part of a tribe.
01:44:38.960 And tribes are extraordinarily powerful.
01:44:40.720 We don't just want customers.
01:44:42.460 Customers are fine if you want to be a good product.
01:44:45.240 But if you want to be a passion brand, you have to build a tribe.
01:44:48.020 So is that why they use things like Venti?
01:44:51.000 They change the language to make it even more of a badge to be a part of this tribe?
01:44:58.500 Is that what's going on?
01:44:59.880 That's exactly right.
01:45:01.420 Right?
01:45:01.660 And I don't know, like, I'm not that gifted creatively to figure those types of things out.
01:45:07.720 But yeah, Howard or somebody on his team figured out long ago, let's create that badge.
01:45:12.680 Let's create those shortcuts.
01:45:13.980 The name of the book is Friction.
01:45:17.700 I can't recommend it highly enough.
01:45:19.900 I've never done this with any book before.
01:45:22.780 I insisted everybody on the staff read this book.
01:45:26.880 So we're responsible for about 249 copies being sold.
01:45:31.440 Thank you very much.
01:45:32.300 And everybody has read it.
01:45:34.200 I also, for the first time I've ever, I've never done this, we're asking all of our Dallas employees to come down to the studio floor today.
01:45:42.860 There's about 90 here just in this building.
01:45:45.820 They're coming to listen to you at 5 o'clock for the show at 5 today on TheBlaze.com.
01:45:51.500 And I just want you to talk about how to find the customer, how to reduce friction, how to, I mean, I'm convinced everything in your book I've known instinctively.
01:46:06.060 And if I boil it down, I've always thought that capitalism was the greatest charity brand ever, if it's done right.
01:46:17.140 And meaning, if I love a group of people, and I'll say, how can I serve them?
01:46:25.960 How can I make their life better, easier?
01:46:29.100 And by serving them what they need in a really easy way, I could become rich.
01:46:38.900 It is capitalism.
01:46:40.300 It's not charity.
01:46:41.260 It's capitalism.
01:46:41.920 And that's really kind of the thing.
01:46:44.380 If you know who your target is, you know who you're serving, and you actually love them, listen to them, and help make their life easier, that's it, isn't it?
01:46:55.380 Yeah.
01:46:56.100 You know, it's interesting that you bring it up because I'm leaving this very blue region of New York City.
01:47:01.620 And I'm heading to this very red region of Texas, and I'm looking out the window at this wonderful, amazing, beautiful country of ours.
01:47:10.460 And I was thinking about the fact that we just can't seem to agree very much lately.
01:47:16.080 And then I realized, wait a second, there is one thing that we can all agree upon, which is corporations have incredible power.
01:47:24.040 And they should use that power to improve people's lives one small step at a time.
01:47:30.020 And this is not for altruistic reasons.
01:47:32.920 This is not for idealistic reasons because that type of motivation is not sustainable.
01:47:37.480 It's because when brands improve people's lives, they get rewarded, not just by shifting customers or, say, prospects to customers, but by shifting customers into evangelists, where people will pay more and people will evangelize.
01:47:52.300 And that's what fighting friction is all about.
01:47:54.500 Unless you go to the Wharton School of Business or Harvard School of Business and you are assigned both Wealth of Nations and Moral Sentiments, which is imperative that you read both Adam Smith books, you're not going to get this.
01:48:10.340 This is a new, really, kind of Adam Smith look at how capitalism should work.
01:48:17.320 Friction, passion brands in the age of disruption.
01:48:19.800 Jeff Rosenblum, we will see you on The Blaze TV today at 5.
01:48:23.400 Thank you so much.
01:48:24.340 Thank you.
01:48:24.800 I want to talk real quick before you go.
01:48:27.600 The proceeds, as we're telling people to buy your book, the proceeds are not going to you.
01:48:34.260 What are the proceeds going?
01:48:34.760 We're in the middle of it from July 15th to August 15th.
01:48:38.900 All of the proceeds, every penny we make, not Amazon, not the publisher, I can't control those guys, goes to Special Spectators.
01:48:44.400 And which is what?
01:48:45.200 Special Spectators takes kids with life-threatening illnesses and takes them to exclusive college sports experiences.
01:48:53.420 So they'll get on the field at, like, Alabama, and they'll get into the locker room, they'll meet the coaches, and there's all different games going around the country.
01:49:01.320 And what they found with these guys, because I'm on the board of Make-A-Wish, and we saw it there also, is it's not just about giving these guys this sort of moment of happiness, but it's also part of the healing process, right?
01:49:12.380 It literally heals kids when they're fighting these diseases to actually have a moment of happiness in their life.
01:49:18.580 Thank you very much, Jeff.
01:49:19.400 We'll talk to you later this afternoon.
01:49:20.660 Thank you.
01:49:20.980 By the way, if you have any questions, go ahead and tweet them, and I'll have the staff look at them this afternoon before we go on the air.
01:49:31.140 You can just tweet them at Glenn Beck, and we'll try to get your questions in as well.
01:49:36.560 Now this, the Fed says it's ready to start slowly shrinking its holdings of more than $4 trillion in bonds.
01:49:45.000 Hmm.
01:49:46.020 Now what does this mean?
01:49:47.800 The Fed is going to start slowing, shrinking its holdings.
01:49:52.560 So in other words, they're going to get rid of some of the things that they bought up to be able to print money.
01:49:58.840 This could begin as soon as September.
01:50:01.520 These are the bonds the Fed bought in their attempt to stabilize the economy.
01:50:07.400 So if they have good stuff, and they're selling it, and they've got $4 trillion of it,
01:50:14.060 that would mean that the bond prices would go down because somebody is wanting to sell $4 trillion of bond.
01:50:22.940 Unfortunately, what this also means is there's a lot of crap that the Fed bought.
01:50:28.900 They just bundled up all of this crap from the banks that the banks wanted to get rid of.
01:50:36.160 They've got to sell that stuff, too.
01:50:39.160 Who's buying, and what does this do to the asset bubble that is sitting out here?
01:50:44.720 I want you to read an exclusive report from President Reagan's budget director, David Stockman.
01:50:49.960 He's written this report for Goldline, identifying the five threats to the economy.
01:50:54.780 Things, you know, civilization and the economy, both really being pushed every single day.
01:51:04.200 And they're very fragile.
01:51:06.240 Read this report.
01:51:07.280 Get it for free by calling 866-465-3546.
01:51:11.260 866-465-3546.
01:51:14.960 Don't buy anything until you've done all of your own homework.
01:51:18.260 The best thing you can do to be prepared is to actually have knowledge first.
01:51:25.620 Call 866-465-3546.
01:51:29.040 Read their important risk information.
01:51:30.480 Find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.
01:51:32.360 866-goldline or goldline.com.
01:51:36.680 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:51:40.660 Mercury.
01:51:44.700 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:51:46.660 Yeah, he is.
01:51:49.980 Jeff Rosenblum has a lot to teach.
01:51:52.980 I had dinner with him last night and there's a lot of meat on the bone.
01:51:59.360 It's all real common sense.
01:52:01.380 But if you're a manager, a CEO, an entrepreneur, an entrepreneur wannabe, a guy who just wants to make your job better at McDonald's, doesn't matter.
01:52:11.760 The name of the book is Friction, and he will be joining me for another hour tonight on the Blaze TV at 5 p.m. Eastern.
01:52:19.400 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:52:23.020 Mercury.
01:52:23.780 Fury.
