00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:08.540 Hello, America. Welcome to the program.
00:00:11.700 What is important?
00:00:14.260 The news that is important, that will actually affect our lives.
00:00:18.700 We begin there right now.
00:00:30.000 I will beat my drum, I have made my choice, we will overcome, cause we are one.
00:00:38.520 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:00:42.460 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:49.020 I am in a very interesting place in my life.
00:00:54.880 Almost everything.
00:00:56.280 I am finding myself torn between what is lost and what we are about to find.
00:01:07.940 What is gone, the lost opportunities, and the opportunities on the horizon.
00:01:22.180 I want to talk to you about two children today.
00:01:26.280 This week, Charlie Gard would have been a year old.
00:01:33.520 It was a year ago this week that Connie Yates gave birth to Charlie.
00:01:38.940 Proud dad, Chris Gard, gathered him up and their belongings in the hospital room in England,
00:01:45.900 and the happy parents headed home with what they thought was a completely healthy, perfect baby boy.
00:01:51.340 Little did they know then, two months later, they would be rushing him back to the hospital.
00:01:59.320 It was last Friday, just a few days away from his first birthday,
00:02:06.840 that the valiant effort to save their precious son ended.
00:02:13.620 A nine-month struggle between the hospital and parents.
00:02:22.860 A hospital and a government with its heartless socialist health care system
00:02:28.540 that said, we are in charge of this child, you are not.
00:02:34.980 All the parents were asking for was a chance to save their baby.
00:02:40.580 Just a chance.
00:02:42.040 Just a chance.
00:02:48.920 Isn't that, haven't we all been there?
00:02:52.220 Haven't we all had something happen with our family members or our children
00:02:57.500 where we have just said, Lord, give me a chance.
00:03:01.380 Give it to me.
00:03:04.080 Just, is there a chance?
00:03:09.800 Not desperate negotiation.
00:03:17.620 They weren't asking for anything from the hospital or the British government.
00:03:21.200 They had raised well over a million dollars to have Charlie enter a program here in the United States
00:03:26.080 for an experimental treatment that an American doctor said would help.
00:03:30.620 But they were stopped by the hospital at every turn.
00:03:33.680 They were stopped and litigated at every turn.
00:03:38.120 They took their baby to the hospital for treatment.
00:03:41.840 And when the hospital said, it's time to give up hope,
00:03:45.440 all they asked was for the opportunity to have hope
00:03:50.320 and go someplace else at no cost to the taxpayer or to the hospital.
00:03:56.200 But the hospital could not lose this.
00:04:01.320 See, this is the deal about socialism.
00:04:03.800 You cannot eject yourself from it because you will make the state look bad.
00:04:08.460 The fight to save Charlie's life was drawn out so long by the hospital and by the government
00:04:15.920 that by the time that it got down to it,
00:04:21.660 the treatment was no longer effective.
00:04:24.420 It was too late for Charlie.
00:04:27.760 Now, the British authorities still think they did the right thing.
00:04:30.400 They still believe that they knew what was best for the infant.
00:04:35.220 He needed to die, quote, with dignity.
00:04:37.460 End quote.
00:04:41.220 I mean, at 11 months old, it's hard to fathom how dignity,
00:04:45.120 you're crapping yourself and wetting yourself.
00:04:47.200 How is dignity?
00:04:48.920 Die with dignity?
00:04:50.180 How about dying with the parents?
00:04:52.920 How about dying at home?
00:04:55.080 In the arms of your mother and father?
00:04:58.440 Quiet, away from the machines.
00:05:02.400 The hospital wouldn't allow that to happen.
00:05:04.500 The hospital took the parents back to court again in the final hours of his life and said,
00:05:14.160 he's got to stay in the hospital.
00:05:18.560 You can't take him home.
00:05:21.000 The parents begged, okay, then can we just stay with him the entire time?
00:05:26.800 That wasn't even good enough.
00:05:31.900 In my opinion, the hospital was exacting a cost.
00:05:38.240 Teaching a lesson.
00:05:40.400 How dare you question us?
00:05:42.620 How dare you make our life uncomfortable?
00:05:44.760 We told you from the beginning this child was ours, not yours.
00:05:50.120 And now, now you come to us and you want to be with him?
00:05:55.060 No.
00:05:57.700 Set an example so no one else dares cross the state.
00:06:02.260 This is, this is a story that caught the attention of the Western world, not the Eastern world.
00:06:14.740 The Eastern world doesn't care about stuff like this.
00:06:17.860 The Western world does.
00:06:21.760 It caught the attention of the entire West.
00:06:24.680 Not just because of the suffering of the baby.
00:06:31.120 But the annihilation of the family.
00:06:44.900 I was working on a couple things last night for the show.
00:06:47.780 One of them was, was this and the, the other was the story that broke my heart yesterday.
00:06:59.060 And there were two songs that kept going through my head.
00:07:05.400 And it is, and it is the same, I'm torn.
00:07:15.100 I don't know if you heard yesterday's show.
00:07:17.780 Yesterday's show, we, we introduced you to, to a, a woman named Amy.
00:07:24.860 She lives in Redmond, Oregon.
00:07:26.400 It's this little teeny town just outside of the National Forest.
00:07:35.540 Amy has two children.
00:07:39.320 They've both been taken from her.
00:07:41.580 They've been taken from her because the state says that she's not smart enough.
00:07:48.880 She has an IQ of 72.
00:07:54.160 I don't know what I expected when I spoke to Amy.
00:07:58.480 But for the state to say, you're not capable of taking care of your own child.
00:08:04.360 That you're just too stupid.
00:08:07.680 I expected somebody that, quite honestly, did not sound like this.
00:08:12.760 It's, it's, it's been hard, but it's worth it to get my story out there so that people know
00:08:19.960 that you can get your kids back as long as you just fight, fight for everything you have
00:08:25.760 because your kids are worth it.
00:08:27.840 Has a lawyer stepped up to help you yet?
00:08:30.600 I have a court-appointed attorney and an appeals attorney, but I would like to see if I could find someone
00:08:39.480 that's out of state that can better represent me.
00:08:43.980 Why?
00:08:45.020 Because all the attorneys and all of the state workers, they all live there in town, in this small little town,
00:08:54.560 and they're all just making deals.
00:08:56.340 She wants somebody who's neutral, somebody who will look at the facts.
00:09:01.760 Somebody that will look at her as a person.
00:09:03.900 I felt so horrible yesterday when I interviewed her.
00:09:13.540 Here's what basically I was saying.
00:09:17.280 America needs to have you step up and justify your motherhood.
00:09:22.720 And the moment she started to speak, when I said, tell me your story, and I heard who clearly she was,
00:09:35.140 I realized all of us, and yesterday, me, I had become a voice from the past.
00:09:45.920 You must all know half a dozen people at least, who are no use in this world,
00:09:51.620 who are more trouble than they are worth.
00:09:53.460 Just put him there and say, sir or madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence?
00:10:00.840 If you can't justify your existence, if you're not pulling your weight in the social growth,
00:10:06.600 then, clearly, we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive.
00:10:15.340 Wasn't that exactly what I was saying?
00:10:18.220 This is George Bernard Shaw.
00:10:21.080 Oh, the famous playwright that everybody learns from progressive universities, how wonderful he was.
00:10:26.640 The guy who was the first to say, maybe we should have a gas chamber of sorts.
00:10:30.820 Maybe, as he's saying here, we ought to line people up once a year and say,
00:10:35.300 sir, madam, justify to us, society, your existence,
00:10:40.060 because we can't keep you alive just to exist.
00:10:47.040 Amy, you've got an IQ of 72.
00:10:51.100 Madam, stand up and justify your motherhood.
00:10:55.660 Show us the intellectuals, the people who are far smarter than you.
00:11:01.280 Justify that you should be allowed to have your baby.
00:11:09.940 A woman who is going to school for the last two years
00:11:15.680 to try to be a better mother,
00:11:20.260 who the state has nothing on.
00:11:24.200 No neglect, no abuse, nothing.
00:11:26.920 Yes, could something happen?
00:11:31.100 Yes, something could.
00:11:36.720 So we're going to now protect every child that we say,
00:11:40.480 oh, something could happen to that child.
00:11:44.980 Nothing has happened to that child.
00:11:47.980 The house is clean.
00:11:49.280 Mother is attentive.
00:11:50.340 She's taken everything the state has required.
00:11:57.300 She loves her children.
00:12:00.820 Who do we think we are?
00:12:03.360 What have we become?
00:12:14.240 That broke my heart all day yesterday.
00:12:16.460 I was on the verge of tears all day yesterday.
00:12:20.340 You remember the song End of the Innocence by Don Henley?
00:12:27.020 I know that became a big story about Ronald Reagan,
00:12:32.800 you know, because in the video there's one deal about,
00:12:36.280 you know, we elected this old man
00:12:38.080 beating plowshares into swords.
00:12:41.300 But it also had pictures of Dealey Plaza.
00:12:46.820 It talked about a loss of innocence.
00:12:53.660 I listened to it last night, laying in bed.
00:13:00.160 Remember when the days were long
00:13:01.960 and rolled beneath a deep blue sky?
00:13:05.960 You didn't have a care in the world
00:13:07.600 with mom and dad standing by.
00:13:09.980 Who knows how long this will last?
00:13:16.960 Now we've come so far so fast.
00:13:21.940 But somewhere,
00:13:24.200 back there in the dust,
00:13:26.960 that same small town in each of us,
00:13:30.500 I need to remember this.
00:13:34.880 Let me take a long last look
00:13:39.600 before we say goodbye.
00:13:41.760 But this is the end of innocence.
00:13:47.940 It was interesting to me
00:13:49.180 that I ended my day with that song last night.
00:13:51.560 That's what came to mind.
00:13:53.000 Because I started my day
00:13:56.660 with something from the Goo Goo Dolls.
00:13:59.960 And I listened to the lyrics yesterday morning
00:14:04.140 as I got up and turned on the shower.
00:14:06.940 I started my day
00:14:10.840 with this.
00:14:17.160 You ask me what I want this year.
00:14:23.320 I'll try to make it kind and clear.
00:14:25.520 Just a chance
00:14:29.500 that we will find better days.
00:14:33.440 I don't need boxes
00:14:35.380 wrapped in strings,
00:14:37.420 designer love and empty things.
00:14:40.100 Just a chance
00:14:41.400 that maybe
00:14:42.400 we'll find better days.
00:14:44.620 I need some place
00:14:47.980 simple
00:14:48.500 where we could live.
00:14:51.900 And something
00:14:52.800 only you can give.
00:14:54.520 And that's faith
00:14:55.400 and trust
00:14:56.680 and peace
00:14:58.040 while we're alive.
00:15:01.200 The one poor child
00:15:03.100 who saved this world.
00:15:06.040 There's 10 million more
00:15:07.520 who probably could
00:15:08.620 if we all just stopped
00:15:10.180 and said a prayer for them.
00:15:14.620 I wish
00:15:15.680 that everyone
00:15:17.780 was loved tonight
00:15:19.280 and somehow
00:15:23.340 stop this endless fight
00:15:25.260 just for the chance
00:15:27.300 that maybe
00:15:28.280 we'll find better days.
00:15:33.940 So take these words
00:15:35.580 and sing out loud
00:15:36.640 because everyone
00:15:37.980 is forgiven now
00:15:39.200 because tonight's the night
00:15:41.280 the world begins again.
00:15:44.620 somehow
00:15:54.320 stop this endless fight.
00:16:03.200 We haven't been innocent
00:16:04.480 for a long time.
00:16:07.160 I don't know if anybody
00:16:08.420 ever really was innocent.
00:16:09.840 But there was something
00:16:13.260 about believing
00:16:14.000 in a better tomorrow
00:16:15.000 and I still do.
00:16:21.360 But I won't be able
00:16:23.280 to do it
00:16:24.100 if we can't stand up
00:16:27.140 for people like Amy.
00:16:30.500 If we can't stand up
00:16:32.280 to a state
00:16:33.480 that says
00:16:34.120 sir or madam
00:16:35.400 justify to us
00:16:37.640 your existence.

00:18:08.740 Hello, Charles.
00:18:09.540 You're on the
00:18:09.960 Glenn Beck Program.
00:18:12.400 Hi.
00:18:13.440 How are you, sir?
00:18:14.320 Turn your radio down.
00:18:15.360 You're on.
00:18:16.380 Yeah, I'm on.
00:18:17.060 I appreciate
00:18:17.520 taking my call.
00:18:18.840 I really didn't want
00:18:19.380 to take a call.
00:18:20.220 I just wanted to
00:18:20.620 send to my
00:18:21.060 if that lady
00:18:21.560 you're talking about
00:18:22.240 with the government
00:18:23.460 trying to make her
00:18:24.100 prove she's smart enough
00:18:25.040 to have her kids
00:18:25.800 and I'm going to
00:18:26.640 give her $100.
00:18:27.900 Oh, good for you.
00:18:28.720 I think other good
00:18:29.560 Americans don't do
00:18:30.200 the same thing.
00:18:32.240 Thank you very much.
00:18:33.180 I appreciate that.
00:18:34.200 Didn't they set
00:18:35.620 something up?
00:18:36.440 There's a place
00:18:38.500 that you can go
00:18:39.280 and send her
00:18:40.860 some money.
00:18:41.820 They've had it up
00:18:42.420 for a while.
00:18:42.940 They need to reach
00:18:43.480 $30,000
00:18:44.180 and the last I saw
00:18:46.640 it was $300.
00:18:49.660 Nobody knows
00:18:50.700 about this.
00:18:51.680 By the way,
00:18:52.220 we have a reporter
00:18:54.100 who has been
00:18:54.860 following this
00:18:55.800 for a while now
00:18:57.660 and we just want
00:18:59.420 to check into
00:19:00.320 everything.
00:19:00.900 I just want to
00:19:01.400 turn over
00:19:02.100 every stone.
00:19:07.420 She's just
00:19:08.080 up against a wall
00:19:09.040 and I don't know
00:19:11.040 how she's going to
00:19:12.640 fare
00:19:12.960 and I think
00:19:13.420 she's pretty alone.
00:19:14.980 Her husband
00:19:15.540 is not as
00:19:16.920 sharp as she is.
00:19:20.000 I don't know
00:19:20.900 much about the husband.
00:19:24.420 What I found out
00:19:25.540 about her father,
00:19:26.360 I don't want
00:19:28.200 to bad mouth
00:19:30.360 anybody's parents.
00:19:32.280 I don't know
00:19:32.660 the situation
00:19:33.360 but her father
00:19:35.140 doesn't sound
00:19:35.820 like a great guy.
00:19:37.800 The aunt
00:19:38.460 is on her side
00:19:39.780 saying,
00:19:40.240 look,
00:19:40.420 my niece
00:19:42.240 is capable.
00:19:43.880 Here's a girl
00:19:44.720 that gets up
00:19:45.280 every day
00:19:45.980 and works
00:19:46.900 at the grocery
00:19:47.520 store.
00:19:48.360 Now she can't
00:19:49.120 find a job.
00:19:50.480 Lost her job
00:19:51.260 at the grocery
00:19:51.740 store and now
00:19:52.240 can't find a job.
00:19:53.080 This family
00:19:54.500 is just under attack
00:19:55.820 and we'll have
00:19:57.140 more information
00:19:58.000 on this
00:19:58.480 and more ways
00:19:59.160 for you to get
00:19:59.860 involved and help
00:20:01.080 but the first thing
00:20:02.180 you need to do
00:20:02.720 is help spread
00:20:03.600 the word
00:20:04.260 about this story.
00:20:06.040 Make people aware
00:20:06.960 of this story
00:20:07.780 and then we'll have
00:20:09.260 action steps
00:20:10.000 we can all take.
00:20:14.700 You're listening
00:20:15.580 to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:19.100 Mercury.
00:20:23.080 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:26.320 Oh boy.
00:20:26.940 Republicans in Congress
00:20:28.000 are trying to bypass
00:20:28.860 Trump to shore up
00:20:30.020 health care.
00:20:31.960 Donald Trump
00:20:32.840 has said that
00:20:33.680 the White House
00:20:34.240 is a real dump.
00:20:35.840 More on Scaramucci.
00:20:37.480 Is any of that,
00:20:38.620 I mean,
00:20:39.280 what are we going to do
00:20:39.820 about any of that?
00:20:41.620 We're going to go
00:20:42.260 into it a little bit
00:20:43.320 today so you're
00:20:43.980 aware of it,
00:20:44.800 especially what
00:20:45.800 Congress is doing
00:20:47.140 to try to cut
00:20:48.200 the president off.
00:20:49.160 Like,
00:20:49.340 the president is the
00:20:50.220 problem with the
00:20:51.080 health care thing?
00:20:51.860 I think it's you,
00:20:52.840 Congress.
00:20:54.940 I think the president's
00:20:56.180 ready to sign
00:20:56.880 anything.
00:20:57.760 Anything they give him.
00:21:01.080 There is another story
00:21:03.060 from Kalamazoo
00:21:05.140 that I think
00:21:05.920 is important
00:21:06.960 to watch.
00:21:08.540 Five-month-old boy
00:21:09.800 now fighting
00:21:10.660 the same disease
00:21:11.980 that Charlie Gard
00:21:12.840 had.
00:21:14.180 Five-month-old boy
00:21:15.440 in Kalamazoo,
00:21:16.180 Michigan.
00:21:17.080 It's rare.
00:21:17.860 It's life-threatening.
00:21:19.060 The parents
00:21:21.300 are telling
00:21:22.580 local press now
00:21:23.680 they're fighting
00:21:24.640 and doing everything
00:21:25.220 they can to save
00:21:26.060 his life.
00:21:27.260 Baby Russell
00:21:28.040 is the name
00:21:30.180 of the baby.
00:21:31.220 Same disease,
00:21:32.480 Charlie Gard.
00:21:33.340 Let's see how
00:21:34.060 things work here
00:21:35.180 as opposed to
00:21:36.700 socialized medicine.
00:21:38.460 Let's see what
00:21:39.420 happens with this
00:21:40.980 group of parents.
00:21:43.120 Can we get them
00:21:43.760 on and see
00:21:44.540 what the,
00:21:45.440 have they even,
00:21:46.120 have they talked
00:21:47.400 to the hospital
00:21:48.200 in New York,
00:21:49.840 the doctor
00:21:50.360 who is specializing?
00:21:51.940 Have they gotten
00:21:53.240 to him yet?
00:21:54.840 Yeah,
00:21:55.020 they're trying
00:21:55.340 to get him
00:21:55.620 to Boston.
00:21:56.660 Won't it be
00:21:57.040 interesting if
00:21:58.340 they can get him
00:21:59.120 to Boston
00:21:59.680 in a horrible,
00:22:01.440 horrible free
00:22:02.300 market system
00:22:03.120 where people
00:22:03.880 are dying
00:22:04.460 on the streets
00:22:05.300 for an experimental
00:22:07.320 procedure
00:22:10.480 to try to save
00:22:11.700 his life
00:22:12.120 wherein
00:22:12.540 in the glorious
00:22:14.520 socialized medicine
00:22:15.980 world?
00:22:17.000 They just let
00:22:17.820 the kid die
00:22:18.500 and argued
00:22:19.220 about it.
00:22:20.460 Unbelievable.
00:22:22.640 There's also
00:22:23.300 another story
00:22:23.820 that I think
00:22:24.260 you need to be
00:22:24.680 aware of
00:22:25.160 that I think
00:22:25.640 is really
00:22:27.360 very,
00:22:29.720 it explains
00:22:31.140 a lot.
00:22:31.700 You know,
00:22:31.840 I'm a dog lover
00:22:32.840 and for any
00:22:35.900 of you who
00:22:36.600 have dogs,
00:22:37.420 if you have a dog,
00:22:38.280 you're going to
00:22:38.920 really want to
00:22:39.640 pay attention
00:22:40.140 to this one.
00:22:40.800 hipsters
00:22:42.740 in Brooklyn,
00:22:45.020 they're woke,
00:22:46.800 okay,
00:22:47.360 so,
00:22:48.300 you know,
00:22:48.760 can't put them
00:22:49.260 to sleep.
00:22:49.800 They know
00:22:50.260 what's going
00:22:50.720 on.
00:22:51.160 They're woke.
00:22:52.220 Hipsters
00:22:52.660 now in
00:22:53.600 Brooklyn
00:22:54.000 are now
00:22:56.640 seeing the
00:22:57.360 stories about
00:22:58.420 the,
00:22:59.120 you know,
00:23:00.080 vaccinating
00:23:00.540 children and
00:23:01.240 how that's
00:23:01.800 turning everybody
00:23:02.500 into a robot
00:23:03.420 and autism
00:23:04.260 and everything
00:23:05.360 else.
00:23:06.540 I know,
00:23:07.380 I'm not willing
00:23:07.940 to wholly
00:23:08.780 reject that,
00:23:09.640 but I'm also
00:23:10.080 not willing
00:23:10.520 to wholly
00:23:11.000 embrace that,
00:23:12.740 but I'm
00:23:13.560 willing to
00:23:14.020 listen to
00:23:14.380 that,
00:23:14.700 but here's,
00:23:15.420 they've taken
00:23:15.900 it a step
00:23:17.480 further.
00:23:19.180 In Brooklyn
00:23:20.020 now,
00:23:20.820 there is a
00:23:21.460 very high
00:23:22.040 number of
00:23:22.780 hipsters
00:23:23.200 that are
00:23:23.880 not willing
00:23:24.760 to vaccinate
00:23:25.640 their dogs
00:23:26.540 because they
00:23:28.620 believe that
00:23:29.500 that will
00:23:30.040 give their
00:23:30.480 dog
00:23:31.040 increased
00:23:31.980 autism
00:23:32.520 chance of
00:23:33.540 having autism
00:23:34.080 and I will
00:23:34.580 tell you
00:23:34.900 something,
00:23:35.640 let me tell
00:23:36.080 you something,
00:23:36.360 my dog
00:23:37.340 is 77,
00:23:38.480 still doesn't
00:23:39.280 say a word
00:23:39.800 to me and
00:23:40.720 can't read,
00:23:42.040 still cannot
00:23:42.680 read.
00:23:42.940 I think he's
00:23:43.280 on the
00:23:43.560 spectrum.
00:23:44.900 Big time.
00:23:45.700 He's on the
00:23:46.140 autistic spectrum.
00:23:47.040 He once in
00:23:47.540 a while,
00:23:47.860 he'll bite
00:23:48.440 and chew
00:23:48.960 on things.
00:23:51.040 So it's
00:23:52.300 dogtistic?
00:23:55.160 How could
00:23:55.760 you make fun
00:23:56.220 of something
00:23:56.680 like this?
00:23:57.520 Make fun
00:23:57.720 of it?
00:23:58.020 I'm saying
00:23:58.360 it's dogtistic.
00:23:59.080 Both my
00:23:59.680 dogs.
00:24:00.080 In fact,
00:24:00.400 I believe
00:24:00.700 all of my
00:24:01.480 dogs,
00:24:01.840 which all
00:24:02.280 have had
00:24:02.840 vaccines.
00:24:05.340 Dogtism.
00:24:06.300 You're saying
00:24:06.980 it's dogtism
00:24:07.640 and now
00:24:08.380 you're acting
00:24:08.840 as if it's
00:24:09.380 not a real
00:24:09.660 thing.
00:24:09.880 It is autism.
00:24:10.880 When you
00:24:11.360 see my
00:24:11.780 dog,
00:24:12.180 now I
00:24:12.500 just want
00:24:12.880 you to
00:24:13.100 try to
00:24:13.400 look at
00:24:13.600 my dog
00:24:14.040 and not
00:24:14.600 think
00:24:14.920 autistic.
00:24:16.360 He's
00:24:16.800 totally
00:24:17.300 on the
00:24:17.720 spectrum.
00:24:18.880 He is
00:24:19.640 not good
00:24:20.460 at social
00:24:21.140 gatherings.
00:24:21.880 He will
00:24:22.100 come out,
00:24:22.620 all of a
00:24:23.020 sudden he'll
00:24:23.600 just try
00:24:24.080 to make
00:24:24.400 love to
00:24:24.880 somebody's
00:24:25.420 leg.
00:24:27.020 Like I
00:24:27.680 said,
00:24:28.040 he's
00:24:28.280 chewing
00:24:28.500 on things.
00:24:29.140 I can't
00:24:29.560 get him
00:24:29.780 to read.
00:24:30.420 He does
00:24:30.900 not speak
00:24:31.900 to his
00:24:32.580 mom and
00:24:32.960 I.
00:24:34.640 sometimes
00:24:36.480 he will
00:24:36.980 just crap
00:24:37.800 in the
00:24:38.200 house.
00:24:39.020 I don't
00:24:39.280 know what
00:24:39.580 to do.
00:24:40.220 It's the
00:24:40.660 vaccines.
00:24:41.580 No,
00:24:42.060 it's not.
00:24:44.120 Not at
00:24:44.820 all.
00:24:45.720 Are you
00:24:46.060 saying that
00:24:46.940 these hipsters
00:24:47.960 who are
00:24:48.540 woke in
00:24:49.900 Brooklyn may
00:24:50.980 be dead
00:24:51.620 freaking
00:24:52.320 asleep?
00:24:53.280 Is that
00:24:53.580 what you're
00:24:53.840 saying to
00:24:54.280 me?
00:24:54.540 I am
00:24:54.720 saying that.
00:24:55.460 Yes.
00:24:56.140 As someone
00:24:56.820 who does
00:24:57.580 reject the
00:24:58.220 vaccines
00:24:58.740 autism link,
00:24:59.980 I also
00:25:00.760 reject the
00:25:01.360 fact that
00:25:01.920 any dog
00:25:02.440 has ever
00:25:02.860 been diagnosed
00:25:03.420 with autism
00:25:04.000 because it
00:25:04.780 doesn't exist
00:25:05.560 in dogs or
00:25:06.420 at least has
00:25:06.980 never been
00:25:07.340 diagnosed in
00:25:08.120 it.
00:25:08.660 How about
00:25:10.300 climate change
00:25:11.580 and global
00:25:12.000 warming?
00:25:12.440 Does that
00:25:12.560 exist?
00:25:13.700 Human
00:25:14.260 caused
00:25:14.700 climate change?
00:25:15.580 Yes or
00:25:15.880 no?
00:25:16.820 Absolutely.
00:25:17.620 Of course
00:25:17.980 it does.
00:25:18.760 Okay.
00:25:19.300 See,
00:25:19.560 I'm woke.
00:25:20.000 Liar.
00:25:21.560 Liar.
00:25:23.260 Now,
00:25:23.980 dogs do
00:25:24.480 have a
00:25:24.920 0.04
00:25:25.900 chance
00:25:27.400 of being
00:25:27.920 allergic
00:25:28.520 to
00:25:29.460 vaccinations
00:25:30.340 but
00:25:31.720 0.04%
00:25:33.400 Yeah.
00:25:34.160 But doctors
00:25:35.300 are saying
00:25:36.260 there
00:25:37.280 really
00:25:39.040 is not
00:25:40.340 a worry
00:25:42.440 of having
00:25:43.640 your dog
00:25:44.260 due to a
00:25:44.920 vaccine
00:25:45.260 get autism.
00:25:46.600 Yeah,
00:25:46.820 no,
00:25:47.000 it's not a
00:25:47.360 thing.
00:25:48.160 Just in
00:25:48.920 case you
00:25:49.380 were worried
00:25:49.840 about it
00:25:50.260 somewhere,
00:25:51.300 it is not
00:25:52.140 a thing.
00:25:53.180 It's not
00:25:53.360 even a thing
00:25:53.820 in humans.
00:25:54.700 It's worse.
00:25:55.220 It is worse
00:25:57.020 than human
00:25:58.080 autism.
00:25:59.600 Dogs,
00:26:00.140 when they're
00:26:00.400 autistic,
00:26:00.880 they eat
00:26:01.320 their own
00:26:01.700 poop.
00:26:02.600 You're saying
00:26:02.900 dogtism is
00:26:03.600 worse than
00:26:04.100 autism?
00:26:04.800 Continue to
00:26:05.380 make fun.
00:26:05.960 I'm just
00:26:06.220 trying to
00:26:06.600 save dogs.
00:26:08.160 But at
00:26:08.720 least autism
00:26:09.980 is a thing
00:26:10.860 among humans.
00:26:12.000 Can you
00:26:12.540 believe that?
00:26:13.060 But the fact
00:26:13.480 that you're
00:26:13.780 giving humans
00:26:14.540 autism is not
00:26:15.480 a thing.
00:26:16.080 Honestly,
00:26:16.300 I read this
00:26:17.480 story today
00:26:18.180 and I thought
00:26:18.640 to myself,
00:26:20.360 Lord,
00:26:21.440 we're begging
00:26:23.140 you to
00:26:23.780 destroy us.
00:26:24.620 We're just
00:26:25.300 begging you
00:26:26.200 to destroy
00:26:26.840 us.
00:26:27.480 We are
00:26:27.940 so incredibly
00:26:29.840 stupid.
00:26:31.160 The woman
00:26:32.520 with the IQ
00:26:33.340 of 72,
00:26:34.520 whose house
00:26:35.040 is clean,
00:26:35.900 who's had
00:26:36.440 visitations for
00:26:38.040 the last 14
00:26:39.140 months,
00:26:39.940 there's no
00:26:40.780 neglect.
00:26:43.080 There's no
00:26:43.600 problem.
00:26:44.320 We're saying
00:26:45.100 justify you
00:26:46.540 being a
00:26:47.220 mother and
00:26:48.280 these people
00:26:49.300 who are,
00:26:49.700 woke
00:26:50.800 hipsters
00:26:52.200 won't have
00:26:53.600 vaccinations
00:26:54.280 for their
00:26:54.840 dogs because
00:26:56.180 they're worried
00:26:56.880 their dog
00:26:57.560 will have
00:26:58.080 autism.
00:26:59.560 You don't
00:27:00.200 need to
00:27:00.580 destroy us,
00:27:01.380 Lord.
00:27:01.600 You don't
00:27:01.800 need to
00:27:02.680 destroy us.
00:27:02.960 We're doing
00:27:03.980 it ourselves.
00:27:05.400 Really are.
00:27:06.520 Oh my
00:27:07.000 gosh.
00:27:09.560 Just.
00:27:10.460 I mean,
00:27:11.880 oh.
00:27:12.600 It doesn't
00:27:15.180 get much
00:27:16.180 worse than
00:27:16.700 dog autism,
00:27:17.760 does it?
00:27:18.380 You mean
00:27:18.640 dogtism?
00:27:19.620 It's just
00:27:20.420 stupid.
00:27:23.320 We're going
00:27:23.840 to make
00:27:24.020 dogtism
00:27:24.520 happen.
00:27:25.040 It'll go
00:27:25.500 on.
00:27:26.540 These are
00:27:27.160 the same
00:27:27.520 people that
00:27:27.940 believe in
00:27:28.300 global warming
00:27:28.860 though.
00:27:29.420 Man-caused
00:27:30.180 global warming.
00:27:30.980 Oh yeah.
00:27:31.440 Oh yeah.
00:27:31.760 I mean,
00:27:31.960 RFK Jr.
00:27:33.100 is one of
00:27:34.180 the preeminent
00:27:35.120 guys that
00:27:37.000 come out on
00:27:37.520 TV and tell
00:27:38.040 you about how
00:27:38.480 bad global
00:27:38.980 warming is and
00:27:39.860 how autism is
00:27:40.660 related to
00:27:41.520 vaccines.
00:27:42.600 Now,
00:27:42.900 I don't know
00:27:43.140 if he's on
00:27:43.420 the dogtism
00:27:44.340 bandwagon yet,
00:27:45.700 but it's
00:27:46.360 coming.
00:27:46.820 If he's not
00:27:47.500 on it already,
00:27:48.520 it's coming.
00:27:49.160 And you'll
00:27:49.640 notice RFK
00:27:50.520 Jr.
00:27:50.980 is not a
00:27:51.500 conservative.
00:27:52.760 They try to
00:27:53.260 make science
00:27:53.840 deniers out
00:27:54.460 of all
00:27:54.940 conservatives.
00:27:55.460 You think
00:27:55.660 Jenny McCarthy
00:27:56.580 is a
00:27:57.400 conservative?
00:27:58.200 Nope.
00:27:58.620 Is Jenny
00:27:59.060 McCarthy the
00:27:59.840 world's most
00:28:00.600 prominent
00:28:01.780 vaccine
00:28:02.820 autism
00:28:03.480 advocate?
00:28:05.140 A big
00:28:06.020 time
00:28:06.240 conservative?
00:28:07.040 Is that
00:28:07.300 what she
00:28:07.600 is?
00:28:08.400 I don't
00:28:08.800 think so.
00:28:09.560 I just
00:28:09.820 can't take
00:28:11.180 as people
00:28:11.800 actually are
00:28:12.820 struggling
00:28:13.440 around the
00:28:14.180 world and
00:28:14.860 here in
00:28:15.280 America.
00:28:16.460 Actually
00:28:16.920 struggling to
00:28:18.700 be able to
00:28:19.220 imagine the
00:28:19.800 family in
00:28:20.420 Kalamazoo.
00:28:21.620 Imagine you
00:28:22.480 find out that
00:28:24.160 your child has
00:28:26.180 what Charlie
00:28:27.120 Gard had.
00:28:27.680 you know
00:28:30.100 what just
00:28:30.540 happened in
00:28:31.040 England.
00:28:34.340 God help
00:28:35.100 you if you
00:28:35.420 don't have
00:28:35.760 insurance.
00:28:36.620 Are you on
00:28:37.140 Obamacare?
00:28:39.240 What's going to
00:28:39.920 happen if you
00:28:40.380 were on
00:28:40.640 Obamacare?
00:28:41.340 Is that
00:28:41.700 family on
00:28:42.280 Obamacare?
00:28:43.460 Is that
00:28:44.160 family on
00:28:44.660 our entry
00:28:46.600 gateway drug
00:28:47.900 of socialized
00:28:49.080 medicine?
00:28:50.900 So imagine
00:28:52.100 what they're
00:28:52.760 going through.
00:28:54.320 Imagine what
00:28:55.140 they're feeling
00:28:55.940 and what
00:28:56.240 they're
00:28:56.500 thinking.
00:28:57.460 Imagine if
00:28:59.160 you don't
00:28:59.700 have insurance
00:29:00.380 and even if
00:29:00.840 you do have
00:29:01.300 insurance,
00:29:01.900 will that
00:29:02.820 disease and
00:29:04.060 its treatment
00:29:04.820 be covered?
00:29:06.240 Imagine what
00:29:07.020 that family is
00:29:07.940 going through
00:29:08.580 and these
00:29:09.400 people who
00:29:10.000 are so-called
00:29:11.000 woke are
00:29:14.040 talking about
00:29:14.760 not getting
00:29:15.620 their dogs
00:29:16.900 vaccinated for
00:29:18.800 rabies because
00:29:21.640 it might cause
00:29:22.700 autism in my
00:29:24.280 dog.
00:29:25.840 I know this
00:29:26.200 is one of
00:29:26.440 the issues
00:29:26.660 they're trying
00:29:27.000 to fix with
00:29:27.480 Obamacare but
00:29:28.200 Obamacare does
00:29:28.980 not even cover
00:29:29.580 dogtism.
00:29:31.460 Are you sure
00:29:32.220 of that?
00:29:34.080 Almost positive.
00:29:37.460 You're trying
00:29:38.080 really hard.
00:29:38.860 You're trying
00:29:39.680 really hard.
00:29:40.460 People are
00:29:40.740 going to be
00:29:40.940 talking about
00:29:41.300 this.
00:29:41.520 This will be
00:29:41.960 a segment on
00:29:42.460 MSNBC in two
00:29:43.440 weeks.
00:29:44.100 The dogtism
00:29:44.940 problem.
00:29:46.660 Don't laugh.
00:29:48.420 Do not laugh.
00:29:50.680 That could
00:29:51.240 absolutely be a
00:29:52.660 story.
00:29:53.380 100%.
00:29:53.780 We just need
00:29:54.800 to get Trump
00:29:55.240 to not tweet
00:29:55.820 for a day so
00:29:56.480 they can actually
00:29:56.920 do a segment
00:29:57.480 not related to
00:29:58.320 Trump and then
00:29:59.380 that first segment
00:30:00.060 definitely dogtism.
00:30:04.100 I mean he can
00:30:04.840 still tweet right?
00:30:06.080 He should tweet
00:30:06.940 about dogtism.
00:30:08.300 You want to get
00:30:08.600 people started and
00:30:09.900 thrown off on
00:30:11.060 another topic.
00:30:12.360 People are always
00:30:13.100 like oh they're
00:30:14.160 talking about Russia
00:30:14.880 every day and all
00:30:15.920 the intrigue and the
00:30:16.880 palace intrigue and
00:30:17.940 the White House.
00:30:19.000 Just tweet once
00:30:19.720 about dogtism and
00:30:20.800 you've got them
00:30:21.480 thrown off for an
00:30:22.160 entire week.
00:30:23.040 So I'm reading
00:30:23.540 this book that
00:30:24.260 Stu turned me
00:30:24.980 on to and Stu
00:30:27.520 assigned a book to
00:30:28.420 me.
00:30:28.780 Yeah.
00:30:29.280 And I'm actually
00:30:30.720 reading it and I've
00:30:32.460 never seen a better
00:30:33.500 warning than the one
00:30:34.440 you gave me.
00:30:35.520 By the way you're
00:30:36.380 going to have a
00:30:36.740 problem with his
00:30:37.600 anti-religion spin.
00:30:39.920 Anti-religion spin?
00:30:42.340 Oh I didn't think
00:30:42.780 you'd actually read it.
00:30:43.500 It's not an
00:30:44.520 anti-religious spin.
00:30:46.340 Angels of our
00:30:46.580 better nature.
00:30:47.020 It is my gosh
00:30:49.400 brutal.
00:30:51.040 Brutal.
00:30:51.440 It was to the
00:30:51.940 point when I was
00:30:52.860 reading it I was
00:30:53.420 like I don't even
00:30:54.280 know if I can
00:30:54.680 continue with this.
00:30:55.460 It was so it's so
00:30:56.900 anti-religion.
00:30:57.940 However when you get
00:30:59.360 past that yeah it
00:31:00.840 gets really interesting.
00:31:02.140 But it's really I
00:31:03.080 mean holy cow.
00:31:04.720 You're right.
00:31:05.120 I've never seen.
00:31:06.720 I don't think Satan
00:31:08.040 is as anti-Christian
00:31:10.020 and religion as that
00:31:11.660 writer is.
00:31:12.140 However again it was
00:31:13.100 it was recommended by
00:31:14.780 Penn Jillette.
00:31:15.400 Yeah so you'd
00:31:16.260 expect.
00:31:16.800 Yeah but still Penn
00:31:17.660 is I mean you know
00:31:18.900 anyway.
00:31:19.500 And I thought more
00:31:20.080 about the era right.
00:31:21.000 It's talking about
00:31:21.560 that era.
00:31:22.600 Yeah.
00:31:23.120 At the time when you
00:31:24.740 know you go back in
00:31:25.440 biblical eras that the
00:31:27.160 world was pretty a
00:31:27.920 brutal place.
00:31:28.660 Yeah.
00:31:29.300 So the world has you
00:31:31.020 know for living in
00:31:32.960 Chicago in the worst
00:31:36.180 section of town and
00:31:38.820 this does not excuse
00:31:40.080 it or not say hey we
00:31:42.020 should be happy about
00:31:42.900 it.
00:31:43.100 Nothing.
00:31:43.280 But living in
00:31:45.140 Chicago at the
00:31:46.400 poorest level in the
00:31:48.040 worst part of town is
00:31:49.280 still better than most
00:31:50.800 of human history.
00:31:52.800 The violence and
00:31:54.740 disregard for life and
00:31:57.020 humans and everything
00:31:58.080 else.
00:31:58.980 And we are now
00:31:59.820 looking at at
00:32:01.820 vaccines.
00:32:03.320 My wife has had an
00:32:04.300 has had an ear
00:32:05.580 infection for two
00:32:06.420 weeks for two weeks.
00:32:08.360 and she's taken all
00:32:10.620 kinds of medicine for
00:32:12.540 antibiotics.
00:32:13.480 She can't get it to
00:32:14.320 unplug and it's still
00:32:17.000 infected.
00:32:18.760 OK.
00:32:19.920 That's not good.
00:32:22.120 That's that's not good.
00:32:23.660 I mean what do we have
00:32:24.720 to give her what
00:32:25.980 antibiotic do we have
00:32:27.060 to give and and I've
00:32:28.640 been thinking about
00:32:29.500 this because my wife is
00:32:30.980 never sick and I told
00:32:33.020 her I said you die
00:32:33.860 before me.
00:32:34.700 I am digging you up and
00:32:36.360 beating the snot out of
00:32:37.420 you.
00:32:37.920 I'm going first not the
00:32:39.140 other way around.
00:32:40.240 You're doing everything
00:32:40.640 you can.
00:32:41.160 All right.
00:32:41.460 I'm trying to and so
00:32:43.200 she's always so
00:32:46.400 helpful.
00:32:49.180 If there was no
00:32:50.720 antibiotic she'd
00:32:53.080 probably be dead by now
00:32:54.520 over an ear infection.
00:32:58.020 And here we are
00:32:59.620 living in this time of
00:33:01.560 remarkable medicine.
00:33:05.480 Just remarkable.
00:33:07.420 And it's starting to
00:33:08.660 go the other way
00:33:10.040 because the doctor
00:33:11.660 never ever said
00:33:13.360 anything other than
00:33:15.100 hey make sure you
00:33:16.180 finish that.
00:33:17.680 How about make sure
00:33:19.380 you finish that or
00:33:20.760 your body will become
00:33:23.100 resistant to worse
00:33:25.220 and then we won't
00:33:26.240 have any more
00:33:27.240 antibiotics.
00:33:28.800 How about finishing
00:33:30.120 that?
00:33:31.300 Because all I ever
00:33:32.620 heard my whole life
00:33:33.840 was hey better finish
00:33:34.600 that.
00:33:34.740 And I'm like yeah
00:33:35.240 right doc.
00:33:35.920 As soon as I feel
00:33:36.620 better I'm saving that
00:33:37.920 so I don't have to come
00:33:38.640 see you the next time.
00:33:42.680 So finish that.
00:33:44.700 Otherwise we will have
00:33:46.400 deadly disease that we
00:33:48.300 can't stop.
00:33:49.280 Well we're starting to
00:33:50.200 drugtism.
00:33:51.120 Thank you Pat.
00:33:51.980 See it's happening.
00:33:52.820 This is real.
00:33:53.700 It's happening.
00:33:53.940 It's working Stu.
00:33:54.820 Thank you.
00:33:56.020 And now this.
00:33:57.220 Last week in Chicago
00:33:58.440 a local woman was
00:33:59.540 carjacked in a quiet
00:34:00.780 suburb.
00:34:02.480 This woman had a
00:34:03.580 concealed carry permit
00:34:04.580 holder.
00:34:05.200 She drew her gun.
00:34:06.500 She defended herself.
00:34:09.020 She didn't fire a shot.
00:34:10.400 The locals said she
00:34:15.760 was to blame.
00:34:17.320 Okay wait a minute.
00:34:18.240 She was carjacked.
00:34:20.200 She had a gun.
00:34:22.100 She was a permit
00:34:22.800 holder.
00:34:23.520 She pulled her gun.
00:34:25.120 She defended
00:34:25.700 herself.
00:34:26.700 She didn't fire a
00:34:28.540 shot.
00:34:30.040 And it's her fault.
00:34:32.000 That's the world we
00:34:33.360 live in.
00:34:34.120 The world that is
00:34:35.180 being run over by
00:34:36.300 people who believe in
00:34:37.880 dogtism and that if
00:34:40.700 you defend yourself
00:34:41.760 you're the
00:34:42.540 troublemaker.
00:34:44.040 You need somebody to
00:34:45.920 defend you and that's
00:34:47.220 exactly what the
00:34:48.400 USCCA does.
00:34:50.120 They know your
00:34:50.700 Second Amendment
00:34:51.240 rights should be
00:34:52.040 celebrated and
00:34:53.440 protected.
00:34:54.840 This is a like-minded
00:34:56.080 community of
00:34:57.040 Americans that know
00:34:58.480 and are protecting
00:34:59.860 you the protector.
00:35:02.440 They're giving you a
00:35:02.960 chance right now to
00:35:03.560 win a brand new gun

00:35:21.580 Nobody thinks about
00:35:22.600 what happens after.
00:35:24.520 She, I guarantee you
00:35:25.820 didn't.
00:35:26.760 She trained and
00:35:27.620 trained and trained,
00:35:28.420 carried a gun,
00:35:29.260 knew her situations,
00:35:30.740 knew when to pull
00:35:31.380 the trigger, knew
00:35:31.960 when not to pull
00:35:32.680 the trigger.
00:35:33.500 She didn't pull
00:35:34.340 the trigger and
00:35:34.900 then another bad
00:35:35.720 guy came, this one
00:35:36.600 in a suit with a
00:35:37.540 briefcase.
00:35:38.660 The USCCA will
00:35:39.840 protect you from
00:35:40.480 those bad guys.
00:35:41.400 Go to

00:35:45.280 This is the Glenn Beck
00:35:50.280 Program.
00:35:52.500 Mercury.
00:35:52.940 This is the Glenn Beck
00:35:57.680 Program.
00:35:58.320 Seriously.
00:35:59.120 I'm just, I'm worried
00:36:00.580 about the dogtism that
00:36:01.880 my dogs have.
00:36:03.160 I didn't realize this
00:36:04.180 until Brooklyn hipsters
00:36:05.480 stopped giving their
00:36:06.980 dogs vaccines because
00:36:08.420 it could lead their
00:36:09.480 dog into autism.
00:36:10.860 But your dogs have
00:36:11.280 had the vaccines?
00:36:12.380 Yeah, they've all had
00:36:13.320 the vaccines and it
00:36:14.380 just occurred to me
00:36:15.180 maybe that's why
00:36:15.920 they're not reading,
00:36:16.800 that's why they're not
00:36:17.520 socializing, they
00:36:18.440 haven't talked to us.
00:36:19.440 Sometimes they just
00:36:20.760 go, you know, and
00:36:21.800 lay on their carpet
00:36:22.540 and ignore us.
00:36:25.600 You know, they'll
00:36:26.440 just, they'll, they'll
00:36:27.560 chew things, which is
00:36:29.280 completely inappropriate
00:36:30.680 behavior.
00:36:31.420 And that, you know, I've
00:36:34.680 been so focused on, I've
00:36:37.500 been calling, you know,
00:36:39.920 Uno, Uno, Victor, Victor,
00:36:42.460 Ella, Ella.
00:36:43.560 I don't know how they
00:36:44.560 identify.
00:36:45.980 No.
00:36:46.180 I've been calling Ella.
00:36:47.300 She might have felt like a
00:36:48.800 boy dog the whole time.
00:36:50.620 You need gender
00:36:51.300 nonspecific names for
00:36:52.420 them.
00:36:52.640 Exact, Uno.
00:36:54.340 Like Uno.
00:36:54.860 Uno.
00:36:55.240 I mean, at least I'm
00:36:56.600 trying there and I, I
00:36:58.640 didn't, you know.
00:36:59.940 That was Victor and
00:37:00.700 Ella.
00:37:00.860 Not with Victor and
00:37:01.660 Ella.
00:37:01.940 I trapped them into
00:37:04.260 oppression.
00:37:05.900 Mm-hmm.
00:37:06.480 Horrible dog
00:37:07.520 oppression and
00:37:08.720 sentenced them by
00:37:09.640 giving them vaccines
00:37:10.720 to dogtism for the
00:37:12.180 rest of their life.
00:37:12.920 My gosh.
00:37:14.060 What's next?
00:37:14.880 This is the
00:37:16.340 Glenn Beck
00:37:17.240 Program.
00:37:18.740 Mercury.
00:37:19.420 Mercury.
00:37:30.860 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:37:34.800 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:37:37.460 On demand.
00:37:41.020 Hello, America.
00:37:42.580 Congressional Republicans
00:37:43.480 moved Tuesday to defuse
00:37:46.400 President Trump's threat to
00:37:48.020 cut off critical payments to
00:37:49.860 health insurance companies.
00:37:51.120 they maneuvered around the
00:37:53.140 president toward a bipartisan
00:37:54.400 legislation to, um, to
00:37:57.340 shore up the markets for the
00:38:00.140 Affordable Care Act.
00:38:00.980 So, now we've got the
00:38:02.280 Republicans.
00:38:03.820 Now what we have them doing is
00:38:05.620 doing everything they can to
00:38:07.280 save Obamacare.
00:38:08.920 It is absolutely amazing.
00:38:12.200 The world we live in, as I
00:38:13.720 told, uh, told people last
00:38:15.680 hour, we, before you
00:38:17.560 joined, uh, uh, in, in, in
00:38:20.080 Brooklyn, there, there are
00:38:21.860 hipsters now that are saying
00:38:24.360 that they don't want to have
00:38:25.000 their dogs vaccinated, uh,
00:38:26.660 because, uh, they're worried
00:38:27.800 their dog might get
00:38:29.420 autism from the
00:38:33.120 vaccine.
00:38:35.540 So, why should the news
00:38:38.140 make any sense?
00:38:39.660 However, there are some
00:38:41.640 things that we can
00:38:43.040 actually do something
00:38:45.180 about.
00:38:45.940 There are some things,
00:38:47.720 stories that actually
00:38:49.040 matter, that we don't have
00:38:50.640 to go through Washington
00:38:51.640 or the press or anybody
00:38:52.820 else.
00:38:54.240 I'll give you one of those
00:38:55.340 stories right now.
00:38:57.600 I will make a stand.
00:39:00.140 I will raise my voice.
00:39:02.460 I will hold your hand.
00:39:04.520 Cause we are one.
00:39:06.660 I will beat my drum.
00:39:08.940 I have made my choice.
00:39:11.180 We will overcome.
00:39:13.480 Cause we are one.
00:39:15.580 The fusion of entertainment
00:39:17.280 and enlightenment.
00:39:19.460 This is the Glenn Beck
00:39:21.900 Program.
00:39:25.580 Sarah Gordon gave birth to a
00:39:28.860 baby named Dana.
00:39:29.820 baby's dad was not a good
00:39:33.520 guy, relinquished parental
00:39:35.100 rights.
00:39:35.640 That was fine with Sarah.
00:39:37.100 She intended to raise her
00:39:38.540 daughter with the help of
00:39:39.340 her parents, but, uh, Sarah
00:39:42.040 has an IQ of 70.
00:39:45.380 Uh, well, now the, uh, the,
00:39:49.600 uh, Massachusetts, uh,
00:39:52.840 department of, you know,
00:39:54.680 family health and whatever the
00:39:56.180 hell they call it has deemed
00:39:57.920 that mental retardation.
00:39:59.500 So the state had to come in and
00:40:01.300 take the, the child away from
00:40:03.300 Sarah.
00:40:04.440 Yesterday, we told you of
00:40:06.360 another story that is happening
00:40:08.500 in Redmond, Oregon, Amy
00:40:10.380 Fabrini.
00:40:12.320 There was a complaint lodged that
00:40:14.260 her, her, uh, father of her
00:40:16.920 child was not feeding the dog at
00:40:19.920 the proper time and not changing
00:40:22.460 the baby fast enough.
00:40:24.060 State came in, found nothing,
00:40:25.920 nothing, no abuse, no neglect,
00:40:29.140 a clean house, everything
00:40:30.980 took the baby away.
00:40:34.100 Then that wasn't good enough.
00:40:37.300 When she had a second baby, they
00:40:39.140 came at the hospital and took that
00:40:41.320 baby away.
00:40:43.440 There are no charges here.
00:40:47.020 The state just says she's not
00:40:49.800 smart enough.
00:40:50.960 We talked to her on yesterday's
00:40:52.940 program.
00:40:53.340 She seems pretty sharp to me.
00:40:58.020 Walter Olson, he's in the, with
00:40:59.940 the Cato Institute.
00:41:00.940 He has actually been following
00:41:02.960 this story and, uh, and wanted to
00:41:05.500 get him on.
00:41:06.920 Walter, this is, we're living in a
00:41:09.740 parallel universe.
00:41:10.740 Are we even living in America
00:41:11.980 anymore?
00:41:14.120 These stories are so disturbing
00:41:15.860 and, um, I wanted to start by
00:41:18.500 thanking you for, um, bringing them
00:41:21.340 international attention.
00:41:22.220 I can't think of any story that I
00:41:24.020 would rather have brought to
00:41:25.980 national attention than, uh, the
00:41:28.140 one you had yesterday with Amy
00:41:29.700 Fabrini.
00:41:30.120 And when you read what the
00:41:34.120 Oregonian reporter, um, and she
00:41:36.480 did find up, it wound up with an
00:41:38.020 advocate in the press who wrote up
00:41:39.340 the story, I thought very
00:41:40.720 compellingly in the Oregonian.
00:41:42.120 Um, she turned to, uh, an
00:41:45.340 association, um, that watches and
00:41:48.260 says that something like half of
00:41:49.760 people diagnosed with intellectual
00:41:51.280 disability lose their children to, to
00:41:53.620 social services.
00:41:54.480 And, um, again and again, it's in this
00:41:58.040 kind of situation where they aren't
00:41:59.820 proving anything definite.
00:42:00.860 They're just going on some expert
00:42:03.060 recommendation.
00:42:04.060 There's no abuse.
00:42:05.340 There's no neglect.
00:42:06.540 Uh, often there are family members and
00:42:08.160 others who disagree with the decision,
00:42:10.060 just as the aunt and chaperone did, and
00:42:12.480 just as the volunteer did in Amy
00:42:14.360 Fabrini's case.
00:42:16.000 But the state decides and the state
00:42:17.780 somehow or other has all of this, uh,
00:42:20.400 discretion that, uh, winds up winning.
00:42:23.380 You know, you, you can't, uh, convince
00:42:25.720 the judges necessarily.
00:42:26.960 You can't, uh, convince the bureaucracy.
00:42:29.600 If they want to take your child, they
00:42:31.780 got them.
00:42:33.080 Okay.
00:42:33.620 So, so, so help me.
00:42:34.920 What am I missing in this story?
00:42:38.200 There's, there's the, the, the
00:42:40.040 there's no proof or even allegation of
00:42:43.100 abuse, nothing on neglect.
00:42:45.820 Um, the, the, the house is clean, is
00:42:48.740 tidy.
00:42:49.300 They, she has gone through every class
00:42:52.080 past them.
00:42:53.780 She has, she has been a model.
00:42:58.260 And what is the charge?
00:43:01.860 So far as I can tell, there is no
00:43:03.460 charge.
00:43:03.820 Now, let me tell you how the other
00:43:05.100 side would argue it, because I know
00:43:06.880 when I began, um, commenting on this,
00:43:09.500 I got some, um, you know, critical
00:43:11.980 pushback, uh, and a lot of it was on
00:43:14.480 two points.
00:43:15.060 One of them is, well, uh, her dad is,
00:43:17.560 the mom's dad is mad at her and
00:43:19.320 thinks that she doesn't make a good
00:43:20.420 mom.
00:43:21.240 Um, okay.
00:43:21.960 Well, that's one piece of evidence.
00:43:23.280 Meanwhile, you've got a bunch of other
00:43:24.460 people who know her well, uh, and have
00:43:26.420 known her much more recently than her
00:43:28.480 estranged dad, uh, who are saying,
00:43:30.520 yeah, she's fine.
00:43:31.140 Uh, so, so I don't wear that very
00:43:33.040 heavily.
00:43:33.420 The second thing is, well, the state
00:43:35.440 might have additional evidence and
00:43:37.560 they're not allowed to talk because of
00:43:39.500 prophecy laws and so forth.
00:43:40.900 Well, again, maybe there's something
00:43:43.040 there, but you'd think that in judicial
00:43:45.340 proceedings, you as a parent would have a
00:43:47.460 right to get it all on the record.
00:43:48.980 You need to be able to, uh, let the
00:43:51.680 public see whether justice was done.
00:43:53.200 This is what the constitution is all
00:43:55.380 about.
00:43:56.160 I have to be able to know the charges
00:43:58.080 against me.
00:43:58.880 I have to be able to defend myself.
00:44:00.780 You can't hide behind the children and
00:44:03.240 say, well, their privacy, I have a right
00:44:05.820 to know what it is that you're accusing
00:44:08.240 me of doing before you take my children.
00:44:12.280 Exactly.
00:44:12.860 They're supposed to give you that notice
00:44:14.260 and that chance to contest for a traffic
00:44:15.980 ticket.
00:44:16.700 And if they're supposed to do it for a
00:44:17.820 traffic ticket, they sure should do it
00:44:19.520 if they're going to take your kids away.
00:44:20.760 This is, this is so much like Charlie
00:44:24.620 Guard where the state gets, um, it gets
00:44:29.120 too far ahead of themselves and then they
00:44:32.360 just hide behind the state apparatus and
00:44:36.020 they dig in their heels and there's, there's
00:44:38.720 no recourse.
00:44:40.060 This, I mean, honestly, Walter, I, this is
00:44:44.660 un-American and, you know, the only thing I
00:44:48.460 can think of is, okay, there have been
00:44:51.080 cases where people who have lower IQs have
00:44:54.820 put their kids in the bath and then kind
00:44:57.400 of got distracted or wasn't thinking or
00:44:59.280 whatever and they come back a few minutes
00:45:00.980 later and the child has drowned.
00:45:03.240 Okay, that has happened.
00:45:05.000 But that has also happened to people who are
00:45:08.200 quote, normally abled as well.
00:45:11.060 We can't predict everything that could
00:45:15.200 happen to a child.
00:45:17.260 We have to, we have to give the benefit of
00:45:20.280 the doubt to the parent.
00:45:23.100 And if we look and say, there's no sign
00:45:26.020 here of anything, this looks like a good and
00:45:28.700 loving parent.
00:45:29.980 What right do we have to disrupt that bond?
00:45:33.720 Exactly.
00:45:35.760 And one of the observers who's close to
00:45:39.260 the situation blames the risk averse, it's
00:45:43.740 been called worst first thinking.
00:45:45.680 Lenora Skenazy of Free Range Kids says
00:45:48.520 that if you're in the child protection
00:45:49.740 business, then, you know, everything looks
00:45:51.780 like a danger.
00:45:52.480 Oh, you know, they're riding a bike
00:45:54.160 unaccompanied or whatever the thing is.
00:45:56.220 You always think of the worst possible
00:45:57.700 thing that could happen.
00:45:58.420 But the thing that they're not admitting
00:46:02.880 is that being taken into foster care, being
00:46:05.440 ripped away from parents who love you more
00:46:09.040 than anyone else and have been raising you,
00:46:10.800 that's a risk too.
00:46:12.020 In fact, it's a pretty, pretty bad risk.
00:46:14.240 You know, I have to tell you, it drives me
00:46:18.600 crazy when my older kids first went into
00:46:23.840 school, first grade, I said, hey, can I just
00:46:27.300 get a, you know, stupid me, can I get like a
00:46:30.580 syllabus or something?
00:46:31.800 First grade.
00:46:32.640 I just want to follow it home so I know what
00:46:35.220 doing so I can help plow the fields and
00:46:40.360 know exactly what's happening.
00:46:41.860 And the teacher looked at me and said, Mr.
00:46:44.200 Back, we have it now.
00:46:48.420 We're okay.
00:46:49.300 We have it now.
00:46:50.300 And I looked at that teacher and I said,
00:46:51.780 excuse me, but you assist me, not the other
00:46:55.400 way around and the state just believes that it's
00:47:00.440 their responsibility, their position.
00:47:04.820 And I have news for you.
00:47:05.940 The best teacher in the world does not love my
00:47:09.520 child as much as I do.
00:47:11.640 Doesn't know my child as much as I do.
00:47:14.480 Yeah, there are bad parents.
00:47:16.200 There are parents that don't care about their
00:47:18.220 children.
00:47:18.580 But for the vast majority, we care about our
00:47:22.540 children more than somebody who's a stranger,
00:47:25.880 especially someone who is working for the state.
00:47:30.260 It was so strange in the Charlie Gard controversy.
00:47:33.700 I went and I read, you know, British defenders of
00:47:39.080 what was going on there.
00:47:40.360 And the best one that I found, the most intelligent
00:47:43.620 defense of what happened in Britain was, well, there's a
00:47:47.620 difference of opinion and someone has to decide because
00:47:50.540 after all, you know, the medical opinion is just as
00:47:55.740 valid as the parents' opinion.
00:47:57.160 And I thought, gee, I'm glad I live in America where
00:48:00.560 for the most part, you start out with a premise that the
00:48:05.000 parents, you know, are of course going to be the first to
00:48:10.100 decide because, you know, they're the parents and they
00:48:12.280 love their kids and know their kids more than the
00:48:14.020 doctors do.
00:48:14.520 And only in the exceptional case, only if there is some
00:48:17.900 neglect or abuse, as you say, do we step back from that
00:48:22.960 assumption.
00:48:23.460 But it's that assumption that keeps us free from
00:48:27.680 a government running everything.
00:48:30.120 So yesterday she was on and she said, I'm looking for an
00:48:35.920 attorney that's not from the local area.
00:48:38.600 Um, they don't have any money.
00:48:42.340 Um, I'm not concerned about money because if this checks out
00:48:45.620 the way it's checking out to me, then we'll help her with
00:48:48.940 the money.
00:48:49.980 Um, are there institutions and are there attorneys out there
00:48:56.280 that are really well versed on this that can win against a
00:49:00.240 state that doesn't have to produce any evidence?
00:49:03.000 There is one group called, I think it's family defense
00:49:06.380 center, which has provided legal help to, uh, groups facing,
00:49:11.380 uh, CPS, uh, for what seemed to be bad reasons, but it's one
00:49:16.880 small group.
00:49:17.560 And what always amazes me is you've got big, uh, long
00:49:22.060 established legal defense groups for every other interest you
00:49:25.620 can name, you know, good interests, bad interests.
00:49:27.920 Uh, you know, there'll be a bunch of lawyers getting pro bono
00:49:30.900 credit with their law firms, but not in this one, you know,
00:49:34.160 I'd all power to the group.
00:49:35.760 I think it's based in Chicago that, uh, is, is trying to do
00:49:38.620 this, but I just wonder why you don't have something, if not
00:49:41.540 the size of the ACLU, then at least, you know, pretty darn big
00:49:45.240 group, uh, systematically looking out so that there is
00:49:49.420 someone, um, uh, you know, with, with the David's that are
00:49:53.340 the parents against the Goliath that are the CPS of
00:49:56.000 bureaucracies.
00:49:56.680 Where, where does this go next?
00:49:58.940 Talking to Walter Olson of the Cato Institute, what, what's
00:50:02.440 next?
00:50:03.320 How close are they to permanently being shut out, um, and
00:50:07.480 her losing her children?
00:50:10.960 According to the coverage, the state has been, um, begun
00:50:15.960 proceedings to cut off their parental rights permanently in
00:50:18.640 order to place the children for adoption with another family.
00:50:20.960 So that makes it sound like a lost call now or never, you
00:50:26.360 know, find them a defense.
00:50:27.880 Um, and it probably starts out as a defense against severance of
00:50:32.260 rights, uh, before it even gets to the point of restoring
00:50:34.900 custody to them.
00:50:36.120 Um, so, uh, lawyers out there who may be listening, uh, that's the
00:50:40.440 stage the case is at.
00:50:41.600 Probably want to call earlier rather than later to find out if there's
00:50:44.720 someone to help.
00:50:45.680 Okay.
00:50:46.140 Walter, thank you, um, for covering this.
00:50:50.020 You were been on this long, a long time.
00:50:52.140 And, uh, and thank you for caring and realizing the, the real true
00:50:58.720 impact of this story.
00:51:00.360 Appreciate it.
00:51:01.100 Thank you.
00:51:01.700 Walter Olson from the, uh, Cato Institute.
00:51:03.940 Here's what I would like to ask you.
00:51:08.320 Can you still get the email addresses that they gave yesterday on the air
00:51:13.040 and the, uh, the Facebook page or the website that they've put together?
00:51:17.980 This is a family that we are trying to help out and I, and we're working on
00:51:25.040 some things behind the scenes, but I just want to make sure that I haven't
00:51:28.240 missed anything on this, but it's all checking out.
00:51:33.900 Um, and, uh, but there's, there's, there's gotta be an attorney.
00:51:39.220 They had some attorneys call yesterday.
00:51:41.980 Um, we need, we need to know who the experts are.
00:51:45.220 We need to go and find somebody who can really win this.
00:51:50.400 Um, but I, I, the first thing that has to happen because we're running out of
00:51:54.620 time on this, this is going to end by September.
00:51:57.520 Um, we really need, um, attorneys.
00:52:02.080 They're going to need some money.
00:52:04.620 Um, we'll get to that, uh, tomorrow.
00:52:07.080 But the, the first thing that really has to happen is you have to spread the word on this
00:52:14.320 story.
00:52:14.680 Like nobody's business.
00:52:16.180 There's a story on the blaze from yesterday.
00:52:18.640 There's a story at glennbeck.com from yesterday.
00:52:21.300 There is a, um, uh, Walter Olson from Cato Institute.
00:52:27.360 He's been covering it.
00:52:28.540 Um, you just need to, you need to spread the word on this and get people to understand the
00:52:37.480 plight of Amy.
00:52:39.160 Amy's plight is our plight.
00:52:43.360 If they come and take this child away, these two children, which they have and gotten away
00:52:49.700 with it, if they can do this to Amy without any charges, without neglect, without any abuse,
00:52:57.280 with a clean house, with a girl who sure sounds like a lot of, a lot better than a lot of parents
00:53:06.900 that I have seen and heard elsewhere, they can just come and take her children away from her.
00:53:13.760 And then she can't defend herself because they're going to hide behind privacy.
00:53:22.260 What are the charges?
00:53:25.820 We all lose our children.
00:53:28.080 We all lose our children.
00:53:29.520 It's only a matter of time.
00:53:33.760 First, they came for Amy's children.
00:53:37.620 And I did what?
00:53:39.640 Amy's plight is our plight.
00:53:45.400 I urge you to know this story.
00:53:49.100 And I urge you to spread this story.
00:53:51.440 The first thing that has to happen is we need a lot of people to know this story and care.
00:54:00.960 Now this.
00:54:04.920 Alan Greenspan said the other day, we should be worried about the growing bond bubble.
00:54:10.540 He said, quote, the real problem is that when bond market bubble collapses, long-term interest rates will rise.
00:54:16.220 We're moving into a different phase of the economy to stagflation we haven't seen since the 1970s.
00:54:22.800 Fantastic.
00:54:24.740 Fantastic.
00:54:28.000 There was another story today that, you know, the big Wall Street movers and shakers,
00:54:32.880 they're all moving into a position to bet against the bond market.
00:54:37.440 Again, fantastic.
00:54:40.480 Thank you for that.
00:54:41.640 Make your money going down.
00:54:43.740 Bet against that.
00:54:45.720 Bet against.
00:54:46.840 Bet against it.
00:54:49.140 Make sure you're making your money while people are losing their pensions.
00:54:54.620 Do it.
00:54:55.080 Yes.
00:54:56.200 Nothing more honorable.
00:54:57.980 Nothing better than making money on the destruction of cities and pensions and investments for other people who have worked hard their whole life.
00:55:08.940 Why not?
00:55:09.820 You're in Vegas.
00:55:11.140 It's the crap table.
00:55:13.020 Make all the money you can because that's all that matters.
00:55:16.440 I want you to call Goldline now.
00:55:23.580 Here's a company that will guarantee that you won't lose a dime on your investment.
00:55:30.140 If gold goes down in the next three months and you have invested $2,500 or more, $2,500 for the next three months.
00:55:37.920 If gold goes down, they'll give you more gold to make it up.
00:55:41.500 Nobody does that.
00:55:42.640 You take money out of your stock market or wherever, your 401k, and you put $25,000 into an investment with Goldline.
00:55:52.680 They will guarantee that you won't lose any money on that investment.
00:55:56.740 If the price of gold goes down, they will make it up.
00:56:01.600 Nobody else will do that.
00:56:04.320 Why?
00:56:05.000 Because they're doing the right thing.
00:56:06.680 Everybody else is trying to gouge people's eyes out and just make a buck, make a buck, make a buck.
00:56:13.920 I want you to call Goldline now.

00:56:31.020 888-727-BECK.
00:56:33.500 Mercury.
00:56:37.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:56:43.420 We're just doing our research.
00:56:46.460 We've just got a briefing that we'll digest and then present some of it to you tomorrow.
00:56:52.700 What's going on in this case in Oregon.
00:56:55.260 It's just remarkable what's happening.
00:57:00.120 And let's just be honest.
00:57:01.600 You know what?
00:57:02.180 Let's look at the other side.
00:57:03.100 Let's look at the state side.
00:57:04.800 Okay.
00:57:06.300 Amy has had children before.
00:57:08.720 This is not her first child, second child.
00:57:10.840 I think she's had four children, right?
00:57:12.140 She had twins and then these two.
00:57:15.600 And they've all been taken away by the state.
00:57:17.640 One, because her mother was the child care person with the first two.
00:57:22.880 And she got a divorce and everything else.
00:57:25.220 So those children, she didn't get custody of those children.
00:57:28.520 Maybe we should just sterilize Amy.
00:57:31.600 I mean, really, honestly.
00:57:33.020 She's going to keep having children.
00:57:34.680 That's what the state is thinking.
00:57:35.620 Why don't we just sterilize her?
00:57:37.400 What's wrong with that?
00:57:38.180 Seriously.
00:57:38.440 Isn't three generations of imbeciles enough?
00:57:40.480 Right.
00:57:40.940 Why aren't we just sterilizing people?
00:57:43.520 Let's take your IQ.
00:57:45.220 They can't have children.
00:57:46.960 Let's just sterilize them.
00:57:48.380 We are one.
00:57:51.580 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:57:54.880 Mercury.
00:57:58.600 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:58:01.880 Hello, America.
00:58:03.100 Okay, a couple of things.
00:58:04.420 The president has just signed the Russian Sanctions Act.
00:58:09.800 That is...
00:58:11.420 Yay!
00:58:14.040 That's pretty remarkable.
00:58:15.740 And wow.
00:58:17.740 Okay, good.
00:58:18.420 So we got that going for us.
00:58:21.640 I have two stories to bring to you.
00:58:25.860 Now, I've brought a couple of stories to you today.
00:58:29.880 The lead, the thrust of this show today has been, for me,
00:58:39.000 do I just give up and walk away and we all just leave, go to the mountains, go do something, go...
00:58:53.680 Okay.
00:58:53.860 You know, it's like, if the doctor told you today, you have a terminal illness and you only have X number of months to live,
00:59:03.300 would you go in and do the same thing every day exactly the way, or would you make some changes in your life?
00:59:11.560 Because I feel as though the doctor is telling me, world, not America, world, humans, you have a terminal disease and not much longer to live.
00:59:26.720 The disease, I don't know the Latin name, but it's stupidity.
00:59:33.060 And stupidity is raging through your system right now.
00:59:40.500 It's in your glands, it's in your livers, it's in your eyes, definitely in your tongue.
00:59:46.400 There's nothing we...
00:59:48.020 If we remove it, all that's left is a little piece, possibly, of your scalp.
00:59:53.680 So, should we go back to work, or should we just forget it and start doing something that is meaningful to you?
01:00:05.420 That's kind of where I'm at today.
01:00:09.140 Because I could tell you all the bad news that's happening, you know, all around the world, blah, blah, blah, you know all of it.
01:00:14.160 And I could tell you, and we could dwell, and we could mock, and we could make fun of it, and we could feel superior that we're right and they're wrong, but that does nothing.
01:00:24.960 Still, stupidity is raging through our system and eating it.
01:00:31.620 I could tell you about Washington.
01:00:33.920 I could tell you, as I did today, about the hipsters in Brooklyn who are now refusing to have their dogs vaccinated
01:00:41.400 because they're afraid that their dogs will become autistic.
01:00:45.960 I hadn't thought of that possibility until these really genius hipsters in Brooklyn who are so woke.
01:00:53.920 They're so far ahead of all of us.
01:00:55.920 I mean, they've got it going on.
01:00:57.640 I didn't even think that a dog could get autism.
01:01:00.340 In fact, I know they can't.
01:01:01.640 But now, if I may, look at it in a different way.
01:01:08.000 Yes, you can't have dogtism.
01:01:11.400 Your dogs can't be diagnosed with autism.
01:01:16.260 But what if they could?
01:01:19.360 See what I'm saying?
01:01:20.900 Yes, your dog doesn't read.
01:01:23.740 Yes, your dog still doesn't talk to you.
01:01:27.060 After all the years, still doesn't talk to you.
01:01:30.400 Misbehaves, acts out, chews on things.
01:01:32.840 Yes, could be autism in your dog.
01:01:36.600 Although there is absolutely nothing to ever say that dogs could or would ever get autism.
01:01:48.300 But what if your dog does have autism?
01:01:54.160 See what I'm saying?
01:01:54.860 So I want to go to two places that people look to for credibility.
01:02:05.540 And I just want to ask you, which one has more credibility?
01:02:12.220 Because I can't decide.
01:02:15.580 Here's contestant number one.
01:02:17.660 He used to be a vice president.
01:02:19.960 He and his wife used to lead an activist group against the evils of rap lyrics.
01:02:29.920 And now he's all about climate change.
01:02:35.340 And here he's going to talk to a guy who is a 50-year crabber that has lived on the Chesapeake Bay.
01:02:42.320 Now what they're arguing about, so you know, is has sea level risen?
01:02:48.820 Now, just so you can put this into context, Al Gore claims that, yes, the sea level is rising.
01:02:57.140 And we're all going to die of a fiery, drowning death very soon.
01:03:02.060 It will be both fiery and drowning.
01:03:03.960 And drowning.
01:03:04.700 Both.
01:03:05.360 It will be all of it.
01:03:06.940 It will be blizzard, snows, and record heat.
01:03:12.720 Both of them will be happening to us.
01:03:15.240 And it will be a horrible, grisly death.
01:03:17.960 All because of global climate change.
01:03:21.560 And already, sea levels have already risen an alarming rate.
01:03:27.160 Now, what is that alarming rate?
01:03:28.660 I want you to know.
01:03:30.000 The width, the thinness of a dime is how much we're talking about in the rise of the sea level.
01:03:40.680 The thinness of a dime.
01:03:44.200 Which scientists have been able to measure by satellite to tell us via satellite that the sea level has risen the thinness of a dime.
01:04:04.380 Now, here's a guy who's a crabber.
01:04:10.080 I mean, what does he know?
01:04:11.140 And a mayor.
01:04:12.160 He's lived on this island in the Chesapeake Bay for 50 years.
01:04:15.300 Yeah, but he's now able to talk to contestant number one.
01:04:20.100 Yes, let me reveal him.
01:04:21.360 He's the one.
01:04:22.040 He's the only.
01:04:23.160 Al Gore.
01:04:23.860 I'm a commercial crabber.
01:04:25.320 And I've been working in the Chesapeake Bay for 50 plus years.
01:04:29.040 And I have a crab house business out on the water.
01:04:31.500 And the water level is the same as it was when the place was built in 1970.
01:04:38.100 I'm not a scientist, but I'm a keen observer.
01:04:41.400 And if sea level rise is occurring, why am I not seeing signs of it?
01:04:46.760 I mean, our island is disappearing, but it's because of erosion and not sea level rise.
01:04:52.320 And unless we get a sea wall, we will lose our island.
01:04:55.660 But back to the question, why am I not seeing signs of the sea level rise?
01:05:00.320 What do you think the erosion is due to, Mayor?
01:05:03.960 Wave action, storms.
01:05:06.360 Has that increased any?
01:05:09.740 Not really.
01:05:11.040 So you're losing the island even though the waves haven't increased.
01:05:15.760 Yes, this erosion has been going on since Captain John Smith discovered the island and named it.
01:05:22.400 Oops.
01:05:22.660 And it's gotten to our doorstep now and we focus on it more.
01:05:26.800 Well, arguments about science aren't necessarily going to be of any comfort to you.
01:05:30.760 And I'm sorry for what you're going through.
01:05:32.680 Stop for a second.
01:05:33.120 Before I get to this, I just want you to know, you know, they're seeing erosion.
01:05:37.320 What do you think that's caused by?
01:05:41.040 Waves?
01:05:42.240 Waves.
01:05:43.000 Waves.
01:05:43.660 You know, I don't know if you know this, Al.
01:05:44.960 Water erodes things.
01:05:46.340 The cliffs of Dover weren't always cliffs.
01:05:50.080 I know that's hard to understand, but it appears as though those cliffs have eroded.
01:05:57.460 You know, sand wasn't always sand.
01:05:59.540 It was rock.
01:06:01.240 The black sand?
01:06:03.240 That's because the land was volcanic rock.
01:06:09.280 That's what makes it black.
01:06:11.540 Pink sand?
01:06:12.780 Because it was coral.
01:06:16.240 It wasn't always like that.
01:06:18.980 That's what I'm telling you.
01:06:19.640 That's how dangerous this is.
01:06:20.780 The coral was not always.
01:06:24.000 It's not pink sand.
01:06:25.420 Look at the pretty pink sand.
01:06:26.520 There were rocks.
01:06:28.020 Waves beat over it for millions of years and break it down.
01:06:33.460 That's erosion.
01:06:34.500 But if we don't do something, we may have a hole that may turn into a canyon.
01:06:41.340 That may turn into a grand canyon.
01:06:43.660 If we don't stop the Colorado River, damn it, there's going to be a big hole in the ground.
01:06:49.500 Wow.
01:06:50.040 And look what happened.
01:06:50.740 If only Al were here 150 million years ago.
01:06:55.080 Oh, darn it!
01:06:57.500 Ah!
01:06:58.860 He's not quite that old.
01:07:00.280 So now, he goes into his science explanation.
01:07:04.740 Your neighbors on Tangier Island.
01:07:08.380 I read about you in the paper.
01:07:10.860 I was prepared for this.
01:07:12.220 There was a talk in the Washington Post, I believe, after President Trump called you up.
01:07:15.280 And it won't necessarily do you any good for me to tell you that the scientists do say that the sea level is rising in the Chesapeake Bay.
01:07:23.460 And that you've lost about two-thirds of your island.
01:07:26.580 So what I'm telling you is, and this might be a little bit demeaning, but you're too stupid to know you're being demeaned.
01:07:34.760 You don't know what you're talking about.
01:07:36.860 Right.
01:07:37.060 And by the way, that is a quote from, you know, it's a little demeaning to say this to them, but they're too stupid to understand demeaned.
01:07:45.540 That's a quote from Al Gore.
01:07:46.900 However, the thinness of a dime, the rise of sea level, which, boy, that's a tough margin, huh?
01:07:55.920 That margin of error is less than the thinness of a dime.
01:08:01.240 That, yes, that's the reason why you've lost two-thirds of your island.
01:08:09.200 Two-thirds of your island.
01:08:11.020 And I just want you to know experts agree.
01:08:12.940 Now, there's expert number one that is leading 10% of the population, maybe more than that, over the cliffs of insanity.
01:08:22.620 Don't ask how those cliffs were made.
01:08:24.380 You don't want to know.
01:08:25.300 But let me show you on the opposite side where 10% is following this Pied Piper over the cliffs when we come back.
01:08:38.060 Casper is our sponsor this half hour.
01:08:40.620 Have you spent your nights just tossing and turning?
01:08:42.620 I have to tell you, I almost brought in my pillow today because my wife went out and bought new sheets.
01:08:48.780 I don't know what kind of stupid, all-natural hemp sheets or whatever the hell they are, but they practically had twigs in them.
01:09:00.540 It was, I swear to you, it was some sort of, I can guarantee you, it's like, these were on sale, they're just as good as everything else, and you're asleep fine, and they're all natural.
01:09:13.060 And I'm telling you, it was like sleeping on rocks last night.
01:09:18.920 A twig in the sheet poked me in the eye, I swear to you, last night.
01:09:24.100 Do you have any waves that come into the bedroom?
01:09:25.860 I wish I did.
01:09:26.620 Because this could break down the rocks that you were sleeping on last night.
01:09:29.220 Anyway, so if you've ever had a bad night's sleep, and it's the mattress, sheets, I can take off, and you'll never see them again.
01:09:38.060 I don't know what happened to those sheets, sweetheart.
01:09:41.120 Mattress is a little hard.
01:09:42.180 You want the right mattress.

01:10:06.000 You won't lose a penny on it.
01:10:07.820 It's just like trying it out in the store, except you're not in the store, and you're actually sleeping on it, so you can actually know if it's the right mattress for you.

01:10:32.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:10:38.700 Mercury.
01:10:43.220 Yeah.
01:10:43.860 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:10:45.320 So here's what's crazy.
01:10:46.860 So you have Al Gore, 10% of the population is just listening to that guy.
01:10:51.860 And then on the flip side, you have, I don't even know, 3%, 10% of the population that actually will listen to the news of this guy.
01:11:01.840 Listen to this.
01:11:02.060 Maybe you've had back pain before.
01:11:03.140 Maybe you've had nerves that were cut off.
01:11:05.320 This creates tingling.
01:11:06.580 A lot of people have their feeling come back.
01:11:08.200 I'm not going to make claims.
01:11:09.480 It's one of his products.
01:11:10.180 It's research true organically-based bio-PQQ, and it's not technically organic.
01:11:14.760 Oh.
01:11:15.060 The other stuff, synthetic, completely lab-made.
01:11:19.420 This is made from organic sources, but the bacteria is GMO.
01:11:23.340 I'll just tell you up front.
01:11:24.660 But it's not like the super high-tech stuff.
01:11:27.080 It's a bacteria that's just been bred to be able to then secrete and produce.
01:11:31.820 That's just like beer is bacteria.
01:11:33.600 Oh, hey, hey, all right.
01:11:35.040 But this one, that's how the Japanese do it.
01:11:37.120 Right.
01:11:37.480 It's bio-identical.
01:11:39.160 This stuff is only found in comets.
01:11:42.760 And then trace amounts in blueberries.
01:11:44.480 This is the world we were living in.
01:11:49.680 Stuff is only found in comets.
01:11:52.480 And trace amounts in blueberries.
01:11:57.760 And kumquats.
01:11:59.220 Some kumquats have it.
01:12:01.080 Right.
01:12:02.020 Every fifth kumquat.
01:12:03.460 What the hell?
01:12:04.360 What is that?
01:12:05.360 First of all, GMOs, to this guy and his audience, are the worst thing imaginable.
01:12:10.240 Right.
01:12:10.520 But he can make money off of them here.
01:12:11.980 But this GMO is different.
01:12:13.620 It's not a high-tech GMO.
01:12:15.160 It's just a normal, run-of-the-mill GMO.
01:12:17.080 You're right.
01:12:17.900 That's not a Japanese do it.
01:12:18.820 Yeah.
01:12:19.100 It's a low-tech GMO.
01:12:21.540 It's like, it's a poor man's GMO.
01:12:23.740 It's the kind of genetically modified organism that, let's say, cavemen would have developed.
01:12:32.280 Or really, really, the guys who flunked out of, you know, chemistry and all of that, they
01:12:39.720 just, they're not smart enough.
01:12:41.900 In fact, they blew up their lab themselves, just trying to make a milkshake a few years
01:12:46.120 ago.
01:12:46.540 But they're the ones who put this together.
01:12:49.600 It's not high-tech at all.
01:12:50.700 No, you find them in comets.
01:12:53.120 Blueberries.
01:12:54.440 And certain packages of Twizzlers.
01:12:56.920 God, wait, wait.
01:12:58.240 Do blueberries come from comets?
01:13:00.080 How did they get this substance that's only available on comets?
01:13:02.740 You didn't realize that blueberries, look at them.
01:13:07.340 They're baby comets.
01:13:08.720 Okay.
01:13:09.400 That's true.
01:13:10.060 They're baby guys.
01:13:11.060 I mean, baby purple-y sort of comets.
01:13:13.440 Take a blueberry.
01:13:14.580 Freeze it.
01:13:15.320 Put it in space.
01:13:17.140 You know, make it 65 million times larger.
01:13:21.100 Well, maybe it's just closer.
01:13:21.700 What do you identify that as?
01:13:23.200 A comet.
01:13:24.220 Maybe it's just closer than we think.
01:13:25.520 When they go across the sky, they look pretty small.
01:13:27.420 Right.
01:13:27.880 So maybe it's just a blueberry and it's only like 40 feet up.
01:13:30.520 You just don't realize it.
01:13:31.320 40 feet.
01:13:32.740 Maybe it's just out of arm's length.
01:13:35.900 You're just, you're pointing and you're about an inch away.
01:13:38.940 Look at that in the sky.
01:13:40.720 Oh, man.
01:13:41.280 But I mean, tell me, because you listen to that clip, and that clip is from the John Oliver
01:13:45.220 rant that he had on Alex Jones this weekend, which is actually, even though I'm not a huge
01:13:48.800 fan, very funny.
01:13:50.140 But if you look at that clip that we just played of Alex Jones, it's just nonstop disclaimers.
01:13:56.220 He knows he's lying to his audience.
01:13:57.520 And it's the same thing from Al Gore with Dr. Maslowski.
01:14:01.260 We've played that clip a million times where he has so many disclaimers built into what
01:14:07.240 he's saying.
01:14:08.280 You know he knows what he's saying is alarmist or he's justifying something that he knows
01:14:15.320 is untrue.
01:14:16.000 But he just says it because he knows he, his audience is going to go along with it.
01:14:21.600 When you're this far down this road, you never disagree with what the host is saying.
01:14:25.100 That's amazing.
01:14:26.160 This is, we really have arrived to the time when I said, you're not going to know who
01:14:28.920 to believe.
01:14:29.400 You're not going to know what to believe.
01:14:31.580 Everything will be upside down.
01:14:33.700 Nobody will have any credibility.
01:14:35.320 I hope you have yours at that point.
01:14:39.040 Or at that point, do you have your credibility?
01:14:43.500 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:14:46.920 Look your head.
01:14:48.120 The Blaze Radio Network.
01:15:05.640 On demand.
01:15:09.240 Hello, America.
01:15:10.840 Welcome to the program.
01:15:11.800 There's lots of things going on today.
01:15:16.840 You know, I'm struggling to understand the other side of the arguments of common sense.
01:15:28.400 And perhaps it's because common sense is dead in America.
01:15:33.120 But I'm trying to understand it.
01:15:36.880 And I want to start with a story for the life of me I cannot figure out.
01:15:41.800 Maybe you can.
01:15:43.200 We begin with Illegal Aliens.
01:15:47.220 Right now.
01:15:48.840 I will make a stand.
01:15:51.400 I will raise my voice.
01:15:53.660 I will hold your hand.
01:15:55.720 Because we are one.
01:15:57.880 I will beat my drum.
01:16:00.140 I have made my choice.
01:16:02.400 We will overcome.
01:16:04.660 Because we are one.
01:16:06.780 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:16:09.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:16:15.060 Okay.
01:16:15.520 Let me give you a couple stories.
01:16:17.240 Then we're going to get right to illegal aliens.
01:16:19.980 But there's a story in USA Today.
01:16:22.760 Donald Trump thinks the White House is a real dump.
01:16:24.800 You know, again, they're saying that it was just a round of golf and the White House is a real dump.
01:16:34.360 And I guess it, you know, it must be that he was joking or whatever.
01:16:38.620 How does this affect our lives?
01:16:44.680 Do we have to know everything out of this man's mouth?
01:16:48.080 Do we?
01:16:48.660 Do we have to know everything?
01:16:50.540 It does, doesn't it?
01:16:51.540 Yes, it does.
01:16:52.180 Do I have to know everything he said?
01:16:54.120 Here's another detail in this.
01:16:56.080 Is this not the most beautiful asphalt you've ever seen in your life?
01:17:00.640 What?
01:17:01.520 Yeah.
01:17:01.960 Yeah.
01:17:02.100 And while he's on a cart path in the golf, on the golf cart, he'll say, is this not the most beautiful asphalt you've ever seen in your life?
01:17:11.140 I mean, I've seen some pretty good looking asphalt.
01:17:13.180 I don't know that I've actually seen the asphalt in his golf cart.
01:17:15.400 Yeah, that his golf cart was on, but I don't, I don't know.
01:17:17.780 And then, you know, the White House is a real dump.
01:17:20.700 Okay.
01:17:21.000 Well, first of all, it might be, you know, it's pretty old.
01:17:25.280 It's pretty old and hasn't had a renovation since the 1950s.
01:17:29.140 A significant renovation.
01:17:31.440 You live in a house that hasn't had a renovation since the 1950s.
01:17:35.220 However, I don't think that the White House is a dump.
01:17:38.380 I also hope that the president didn't say that in anything other than a joke.
01:17:43.600 Right.
01:17:43.940 And again, it's a secondhand quote.
01:17:45.860 It's an anonymous source.
01:17:47.660 Yeah.
01:17:47.860 I mean, there's no reason to make a big deal out of it.
01:17:50.400 And you know what?
01:17:52.820 John Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, I don't think they liked the White House either.
01:17:57.540 And what they did is Jackie spent all of her time going out and trying to find the original pieces from the original White House,
01:18:05.040 buy them up, and give them to the White House.
01:18:08.220 The Trumps could do that.
01:18:09.780 I mean, if indeed he did think it was a dump, then replumb the thing.
01:18:17.220 I mean, do something.
01:18:18.940 I mean, it's been remodeled and upgraded, right?
01:18:20.780 You said it has the White House, not since the 1950s.
01:18:22.360 Not a full upgrade since the 1950s.
01:18:25.220 But surely they don't have the same kitchen from the 1960s.
01:18:27.940 No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:18:29.560 No.
01:18:29.920 So it has been updated.
01:18:31.080 I believe that.
01:18:31.640 Yeah, but it's not a complete renovation.
01:18:34.020 They took it down to the shell in the 1950s.
01:18:38.400 Did they really?
01:18:39.260 Oh, yeah.
01:18:40.160 Yeah, the White House was gone for, White House was gone.
01:18:43.800 I don't even know, was it Eisenhower or Truman?
01:18:48.220 What Truman?
01:18:49.360 Truman didn't even get to live in the White House, I don't think.
01:18:51.660 I think he lived in the executive mansion or one of the places right across the street from the White House.
01:18:56.300 Remember, he was shot going in there.
01:18:59.860 Truman was.
01:19:01.200 And it was because he didn't have the access to the White House.
01:19:05.440 He wasn't living there.
01:19:06.040 He was living across the street.
01:19:07.240 And as he's walking in the front door, guy comes up and shoots him.
01:19:10.960 That's when they were putting in the secret basement.
01:19:13.020 It is when they were putting in the secret basement.
01:19:16.120 That's exactly what they did.
01:19:17.560 In the 1950s, they were putting in fallout shelters and everything else.
01:19:21.400 But they took it all the way to the outside walls.
01:19:23.960 So there are pictures of it, nothing but studs.
01:19:28.260 The original studs back in the 1950s.
01:19:30.420 And, you know, to be honest about it, a public servant should live in a building that is a dump to one of the richest men in the world.
01:19:37.480 It should be a downgrade from wherever he was living before.
01:19:41.080 But it's, I mean, to describe the White House as a dump.
01:19:43.540 It's obviously an exaggeration.
01:19:44.860 And my guess is if he said it at all, which we don't know, it was a joke, right?
01:19:49.380 Like, ah, man, that place is a dump compared to my living at the White House.
01:19:53.500 It's not a comment on the history of the White House.
01:19:56.300 It's a comment from a guy who's one of the richest men in the world who lives in houses and apartments that he built himself, custom designed the way he wanted it.
01:20:06.320 Of course he thinks it's a dump.
01:20:07.600 And it's not done in Gold LeMay, which he's used to.
01:20:10.880 Right, which he is.
01:20:11.460 So that's probably another problem.
01:20:13.840 He does seem to like that.
01:20:16.420 Now, the other thing is, is that we do have a story from, what's his name, speaking of joking, Scalamouche, Scalamouche, what's his name?
01:20:30.180 Scaramouche.
01:20:30.660 Scalamouche, where he came out and he said the interview that he gave to, what was it, Vanity Fair, off the record, New Yorker, that was so foul-mouthed, he now came out and said, oh, that was just a joke.
01:20:45.900 I was joking.
01:20:46.540 That was humorous.
01:20:47.520 No, you weren't.
01:20:48.620 No way.
01:20:49.180 Get out of here.
01:20:49.760 Stop it.
01:20:51.280 Own it.
01:20:51.620 He was trying to intimidate the reporter to give him the source.
01:20:56.300 You know, people do that all the time.
01:20:57.580 He just did it very sloppily by not going off the record, first of all.
01:21:01.400 And second of all, by trashing, I mean, not only did he say, you know, the bad things about, the vulgar things about people like Steve Bannon, he also said he was going to fire everyone in the communications department.
01:21:11.320 What does that do for morale of your department, right?
01:21:14.280 I mean, that's a big one.
01:21:15.800 And then he also said he gathered intelligence and digital fingerprints from the FBI and the DOJ, which would be blatantly illegal on his own staff, which, I mean, I'm sure he was lying.
01:21:27.640 But, I mean, really, the swearing is, like, way down the list on that particular interview.
01:21:32.140 Okay, so one more story that I don't understand.
01:21:37.340 Is there anybody working for the American people?
01:21:39.560 Anybody?
01:21:40.180 Is there anybody who's actually working for them?
01:21:42.860 Charlize Theron, but outside of that, no.
01:21:44.460 Yeah, boy, you have not given your Atomic Blonde report.
01:21:48.580 At any moment, I'm always prepared to go with, to talk about Atomic Blonde.
01:21:52.520 It's always something I'm prepared to do.
01:21:54.760 I could go and talk about the American people and how no one's working for them.
01:22:01.360 Or we could go to the Atomic Blonde.
01:22:04.780 I'm going with Atomic Blonde.
01:22:06.200 All in favor?
01:22:07.300 Aye.
01:22:08.060 Good, the ayes have it.
01:22:09.400 Atomic Blonde.
01:22:10.500 The first line.
01:22:12.460 That's how bad things are with me today.
01:22:14.220 I am just not in any mood to talk about anything that's happening in the world.
01:22:17.740 What actor has the first line in Atomic Blonde?
01:22:21.040 There are lines?
01:22:22.000 Charlize Theron.
01:22:22.640 Yes, there are actually words in this movie.
01:22:25.020 Charlize Theron, fair guess.
01:22:26.940 James McAvoy, one of the co-stars.
01:22:28.560 Wait, there's other people in the movie besides Charlize Theron?
01:22:30.740 John Goodman?
01:22:31.460 John Goodman is in the movie?
01:22:32.720 Wait, wait, wait.
01:22:33.840 You're destroying this movie.
01:22:35.280 Now you've thrown John Goodman into this movie.
01:22:37.900 John Goodman does a great job.
01:22:39.200 Yeah, he plays a...
01:22:41.860 He remains fully clothed.
01:22:43.080 He does.
01:22:43.740 Okay.
01:22:44.120 There's no sex scenes with Charlize and John Goodman.
01:22:46.580 That's good.
01:22:47.400 The actor with the first line in Atomic Blonde, Ronald Reagan.
01:22:54.140 Interesting.
01:22:54.700 That's cool.
01:22:55.300 The movie is way deeper than you'd think from the trailer, which is bizarre.
01:22:59.420 Is it the tear down this wall thing?
01:23:00.580 It is the tear down this wall thing because the movie, which you can't tell from the trailer
01:23:03.920 at all, takes place in the 10 days leading up to the wall falling.
01:23:09.160 Oh, wow.
01:23:09.720 So it's set in that historical context, which is really interesting.
01:23:13.940 Oh, that's really cool.
01:23:14.760 And covers...
01:23:15.360 They have news reports from that period.
01:23:17.460 I've heard it has a pretty strong 80s soundtrack, too.
01:23:20.620 It does have a very strong 80s soundtrack.
01:23:22.440 Wow.
01:23:22.460 So hang on just a second.
01:23:23.480 And what you're saying is, this is really more of a historical movie.
01:23:30.640 Yes, exactly.
01:23:31.620 Huh.
01:23:32.260 In fact, I just read a review the other day saying that it's actually an anti-communist
01:23:39.440 historical drama is what it is.
01:23:41.260 I believe that has to be seen.
01:23:44.960 And that review was written by...
01:23:46.440 It was.
01:23:47.040 It's an actual review.
01:23:47.820 I posted it on my Facebook page.
01:23:49.020 You can go to my Facebook page and find it.
01:23:50.340 It was bigger than you happened to.
01:23:50.900 No.
01:23:51.140 So it's not anti-Reagan.
01:23:53.480 No.
01:23:54.520 I would say...
01:23:55.820 It's anti-communism?
01:23:57.120 It's about the downfall of communism.
01:23:58.720 Now, it's set in that context.
01:24:00.780 So it's not like, hey, this is about the Berlin Wall falling.
01:24:04.160 It's a spy story with these spies essentially interacting in Berlin in that time period.
01:24:10.660 So chaos on the streets, the walls coming down, you can't cross back and forth, all that
01:24:16.980 stuff's going on.
01:24:17.600 So it's really a cool piece from that context.
01:24:20.440 And it has a real story and it's really solid.
01:24:24.360 It is...
01:24:25.000 The fighting's unbelievable.
01:24:26.380 It's great.
01:24:27.480 It's a great action movie.
01:24:29.260 But it was more story than I actually thought I was going to get, which you could argue
01:24:34.260 was a good thing or a bad thing.
01:24:35.500 I didn't think that there was a story.
01:24:37.320 So...
01:24:37.540 Right.
01:24:37.980 I was...
01:24:38.620 And I was still willing to go.
01:24:40.880 The trailer lends you to believe that, you know, basically what happens is she kicks
01:24:45.060 a lot of people and has sex.
01:24:47.260 Like, that's essentially what they tell you.
01:24:49.060 Well, there's sex in it.
01:24:51.060 If I say no, can you see it?
01:24:53.940 No, there's no sex in it.
01:24:55.300 There's actually pretty limited.
01:24:56.600 I mean, what is in there is, you know, brief but intense.
01:25:01.660 But there's not a ton of sex in it.
01:25:03.340 It's really...
01:25:03.780 It's really more about...
01:25:05.020 I mean...
01:25:05.420 And it's historical.
01:25:06.340 It happened in the past.
01:25:07.100 Plus, it's love.
01:25:07.680 Happened in the past.
01:25:08.480 Right.
01:25:09.160 And it was a very lovely...
01:25:10.540 You're right.
01:25:10.840 I don't know if they had latex back in the 1980s in some of those situations.
01:25:17.500 I will say they had a lot.
01:25:19.680 They did.
01:25:20.380 And she does...
01:25:21.480 She looks spectacular.
01:25:22.600 The answer to that is, of course, yes.
01:25:24.500 But, I mean, some of the fighting scenes are fantastic.
01:25:27.720 I mean, there's one scene where they're...
01:25:29.160 Is she believable in them?
01:25:30.560 Yeah.
01:25:30.740 Yeah.
01:25:31.060 She really is.
01:25:31.740 I mean...
01:25:32.180 I'll tell you, from the trailer, it looks like one of the best action movies I've seen
01:25:36.060 in a long time.
01:25:36.820 It does look really good.
01:25:37.420 I just love the scene.
01:25:39.120 Well, she worked really hard.
01:25:39.920 With her in the opening scene of the trailer, with her in the hotel room, you know, death
01:25:45.860 comes my way, but not today.
01:25:47.420 Yeah.
01:25:47.640 It was like, oh my gosh, that's fantastic.
01:25:49.560 Yes.
01:25:50.180 And she...
01:25:50.780 Again, we all understand the physics of these situations.
01:25:54.600 We all covered the Serena Williams controversy.
01:25:57.720 We all know that 108-pound Charlize Theron is not beating the crap out of a 300-pound guy.
01:26:04.140 However, it is believable in the context of the film.
01:26:07.840 Well, she knows karate or jiu-jitsu or something.
01:26:11.800 That's pretty...
01:26:12.340 Whatever.
01:26:13.280 And she's really good at it.
01:26:14.600 She's got to be at least a black belt.
01:26:16.160 Guys, I can't take people.
01:26:17.620 She's been trained since she was a child.
01:26:18.760 I cannot take people who say things like that.
01:26:20.520 I can't take people.
01:26:21.840 Did you also go to Star Wars and go, there's no such thing as a Death Star?
01:26:25.760 Exactly.
01:26:26.300 Right.
01:26:26.560 Exactly.
01:26:27.520 There is a...
01:26:28.340 To put it this way, there is a wall separating East and West Berlin.
01:26:32.280 You have to cross the wall of believing Charlize Theron can kick the crap out of a really muscular...
01:26:37.700 I crossed that wall a lot.
01:26:38.780 If you can get across that wall, it's fantastic.
01:26:40.340 I have a feeling she could kick the crap out of you.
01:26:43.300 At least me.
01:26:44.640 She could give...
01:26:45.280 I don't know if she can kick the crap out of everybody else, but she could me.
01:26:48.260 That's not saying a lot, but she could.
01:26:50.020 Yeah.
01:26:50.460 I mean, I really liked it.
01:26:51.640 And I bet she's wanted to a few times.
01:26:55.180 Probably.
01:26:55.800 That's a very good point.
01:26:56.800 You know, it comes...
01:26:59.080 The trailer makes you believe it's basically a nonstop action thing, and it's not really
01:27:04.520 that.
01:27:05.000 It's more story-oriented.
01:27:06.800 There are parts of dialogue that if you're looking for basically a music video of her
01:27:12.080 kicking everybody's butt, you're going to get a little...
01:27:14.040 It may move a little slow at times towards the beginning, but overall, I think at the
01:27:17.320 end, you're pretty happy with it.
01:27:18.520 This is the most incredible review of all time.
01:27:21.540 It came in fourth this weekend.
01:27:22.820 Because it came in what?
01:27:24.360 Fourth.
01:27:24.860 Really?
01:27:25.040 You know, what's funny is, it's the exact opposite of most reviews.
01:27:30.980 Okay?
01:27:31.560 Okay.
01:27:31.920 You see something like that, and you're usually like, okay, I went, and the storyline isn't
01:27:36.520 really there.
01:27:37.380 His review is like, and there was a storyline, and I didn't see that coming, and it was a
01:27:44.900 nice addition to it.
01:27:46.480 Exactly.
01:27:46.920 It's like storyline is a special effect for this movie.
01:27:50.760 It's like a lot of people are like, I went to Playboy for the interviews, and who knows,
01:27:53.820 there's naked women.
01:27:54.380 And I actually went the other way.
01:27:55.800 I went for the naked women, and I saw a story, which was pretty good.
01:28:00.440 Wow.
01:28:00.940 But I mean, there's big twists in it that you don't expect and see coming.
01:28:04.120 I mean, it's a good movie.
01:28:07.040 It's not how...
01:28:07.740 Did it leave it open for a sequel?
01:28:10.800 Oh, yes.
01:28:11.220 Okay.
01:28:12.160 Starting at the Berlin Wall with Reagan?
01:28:14.580 How many years do you have to build up?
01:28:16.540 Oh, I mean, every big historical event, you could see her in this context.
01:28:24.100 You just drop her in this whole thing in the middle of every big historical event.
01:28:28.100 So why was it fourth this weekend?
01:28:30.680 Is it the rated R?
01:28:31.460 Well, it's rated R, and it's also a $30 million budget.
01:28:34.180 They did not spend a lot on it.
01:28:35.540 It's going to make a fortune in profit.
01:28:37.660 So I would be very surprised if you don't see a sequel, or at least an attempt at it.
01:28:41.200 Yeah, it made 18 already in its first weekend.
01:28:43.200 Yeah, it's pretty good.
01:28:44.240 I mean, but fourth...
01:28:45.680 I don't understand why the movie industry does this.
01:28:50.600 I mean, they just shoot themselves in the foot all the time.
01:28:54.020 Rated R movies make half the amount as PG-13 movies.
01:28:58.440 All you have to do is just edit a little bit.
01:29:01.700 Yeah, but you don't need to take away the love.
01:29:04.280 No, I'm not saying you do it on a Charlize Theron movie.
01:29:06.740 For the love of God, man, I'm not insane.
01:29:10.440 I mean, I'm just saying that most of these movies, if it was PG-13, guarantee it would
01:29:19.220 have made double...
01:29:20.080 It would have made its investment back opening weekend.
01:29:24.380 And why they do that is beyond me.
01:29:27.560 Yeah, I don't know.
01:29:28.400 I mean, it needed to be edgy, I think.
01:29:30.400 So I think that's probably what they wanted to do with it.
01:29:33.120 They did push the envelope.
01:29:35.180 I mean, you'd have to edit a lot to get it to PG-13 because there's a lot of violence
01:29:39.480 in it.
01:29:39.760 I mean, I just don't care.
01:29:43.260 I mean, violence, I'm not offended.
01:29:47.100 I'm just not offended or bothered by violence.
01:29:50.040 I'm bothered by man's inhumanity to man for entertainment's sake.
01:29:55.240 I mean, a lot of people died for your entertainment in this particular film.
01:29:58.080 Oh, Charlize Theron?
01:30:02.900 You could have at the end of the credit, many dogs and horses were not only killed, hurt,
01:30:08.160 but they were tortured to make this movie.
01:30:10.660 And I'd be like, okay.
01:30:11.740 Well, the out here is man's inhumanity to man.
01:30:14.040 She's a woman.
01:30:15.160 So you're clear.
01:30:16.400 And now this.
01:30:20.700 Did you hear Rex Tillerson's comments about North Korea yesterday?
01:30:24.040 We do not seek regime change.
01:30:28.160 We do not seek an accelerated reunification of peninsula.
01:30:31.880 We do not seek an excuse to send our military north of the 38th parallel.
01:30:36.600 We are not your enemy.
01:30:38.220 We are not your threat.
01:30:39.400 But you are presenting an unacceptable threat to us and we must respond.
01:30:45.260 We would like to sit and have a dialogue about the future.
01:30:48.780 Our other options are not attractive.
01:30:52.920 Wow.
01:30:54.120 Uh-huh.
01:30:56.540 I mean, when you really look at what's happening with North Korea,
01:31:01.440 and we talked about it, Pat, the other day about what they're doing with their submarines.
01:31:05.200 Yeah.
01:31:05.420 I don't know what course they're on.
01:31:09.380 I mean, the usual course is they do stuff outrageous and then they get everybody to the negotiating table
01:31:15.120 and then they get something.
01:31:16.820 They're going through a massive drought.
01:31:20.220 And the famine that is coming this fall and winter in North Korea is going to be extreme.
01:31:27.220 It's going to be worse than for anybody else because they've already got a built-in famine.
01:31:31.480 Famine caused by communism.
01:31:33.420 Because of communism.
01:31:33.720 So, this is going to get really bad.
01:31:37.000 He cannot look as though he is acquiescing to us, especially during a famine,
01:31:43.120 because he's blaming the famine and everything on us.
01:31:46.860 If he then looks weak to his own people, there could be an uprising against him.
01:31:53.640 Also, it could mean a coup against him if he's weak at all.
01:32:00.480 We're in a really dangerous situation.
01:32:02.960 How is this going to affect the world?
01:32:05.160 I don't know.
01:32:06.440 But it's one of a hundred things that could go wrong that could shut the banks.
01:32:10.700 Now, think of this.
01:32:12.240 North Korea does something.
01:32:15.480 Doesn't even launch a nuclear missile.
01:32:17.240 Just does something.
01:32:18.360 Or we respond and we decide to take a first strike.
01:32:22.100 We take a first strike.
01:32:23.640 And if we are not right on everything.
01:32:29.140 Let's say it starts on a Friday night.
01:32:31.680 By Sunday, Seoul, South Korea, is gone.
01:32:36.340 It's gone.
01:32:38.020 A million are dead.
01:32:39.740 Let's say they launch one missile to Tokyo.
01:32:43.220 Not a nuke.
01:32:45.240 And Seoul is gone.
01:32:46.800 That, I believe, is the number four economy.
01:32:49.080 The number three or two economy.
01:32:52.340 Third economy.
01:32:53.660 Fourth economy.
01:32:54.500 Plus our economy.
01:32:56.960 Plus China will be involved at that point.
01:33:00.220 What do you think happens to the banks?
01:33:02.280 What do you think happens to everything?
01:33:05.000 Please, please, be prepared.
01:33:11.340 So you don't have to worry about these things.
01:33:14.580 I want you to go to my Patriot Supply.
01:33:17.260 Right now they have a 102 serving survival food kit.
01:33:20.320 It's this week only.
01:33:21.340 It's $99.
01:33:22.540 That's breakfast, lunch, dinner, all shipped free to your home.
01:33:25.540 102 servings of survival food.
01:33:27.700 It's really good.
01:33:28.840 It's $99.
01:33:30.340 You don't have anything for your family.
01:33:31.980 This is where you start.
01:33:33.160 And for $100, you're done.
01:33:36.540 You've got more than a three-day supply of food.
01:33:39.420 Just to make it in case there's a disruption.
01:33:42.440 A lot more than on three-day.
01:33:43.640 I'm saying if you have a family, let's say four or five people,
01:33:47.820 you still have a lot more.
01:33:49.040 But you got it.
01:33:50.060 You're covered.

01:34:14.960 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:34:17.400 888-727-BECK.
01:34:19.460 The president has just released a statement he did weigh in on.
01:34:23.760 I don't know if he wrote all of this, but he did weigh in on it.
01:34:27.660 Tell me which part he weighed in on.
01:34:29.920 Give me a shorthand.
01:34:30.860 We're up against the clock.
01:34:31.960 Today, I signed into the law of the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act,
01:34:35.640 which enacts new sanctions on Iran, North Korea, and Russia.
01:34:38.000 I favor tough measures to punish and deter bad behavior by the rogue regimes in Tehran and Pyongyang.
01:34:43.340 That doesn't sound like him at all.
01:34:45.900 I express my concerns to Congress about the many ways it improperly encroaches on executive power.
01:34:50.300 No, encroaching, no.
01:34:51.560 Let's see.
01:34:52.220 I'm going back about ten paragraphs in.
01:34:53.880 Maybe this one.
01:34:54.760 I built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars.
01:34:57.660 There he is.
01:34:57.860 That is part of the reason I was elected.
01:34:59.340 As president, I can make far better deals with foreign countries in Congress.
01:35:02.600 There he is.
01:35:03.000 He just wrote that one in the last period.
01:35:06.340 He was like, and I made a lot of money.
01:35:10.100 Amazing.
01:35:10.700 Back in a minute.
01:35:15.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:23.320 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:35:27.860 We have a good friend of the program, and his name is Chad Robichaux,
01:35:34.180 and he has written a new book, An Unfair Advantage Victory in the Midst of Battle.
01:35:41.440 He is really, truly a remarkable guy.
01:35:46.280 Special Operations Recon Marine,
01:35:49.820 eight deployments in Afghanistan in the War on Terror,
01:35:53.780 pro-MMA champion,
01:35:55.320 and, as Pat constantly harps on,
01:36:00.340 somebody with bad cauliflower ears.
01:36:02.540 I don't know why, but,
01:36:04.940 Chad, I'm glad you're here.
01:36:07.640 Yeah, great to be back.
01:36:08.740 You started a foundation
01:36:10.420 that I think is tremendous,
01:36:12.860 and I want to talk about your book,
01:36:13.740 but I want to start on two things.
01:36:15.220 First, tell everybody about the foundation you started.
01:36:18.440 Mighty Oaks Warrior Programs
01:36:19.760 is a foundation that started to pay back
01:36:21.700 what others did for me when I came home.
01:36:23.340 And, you know, as we talked about before,
01:36:25.100 I came home from Afghanistan,
01:36:27.120 and I fell on my face really hard.
01:36:28.760 I was diagnosed with PTSD,
01:36:30.460 had my own battle with facing divorce in our family,
01:36:34.240 my own battle with almost taking my own life.
01:36:36.380 And once I got on the other side of it,
01:36:38.500 and I realized that I wasn't the only one suffering at the time.
01:36:41.480 I thought I was the only one,
01:36:42.420 and I knew there was a problem,
01:36:44.280 and I felt like, you know,
01:36:45.320 somebody's got to do something about this,
01:36:46.720 and why not me?
01:36:47.340 I felt like I had found the answer.
01:36:50.820 And so I started to,
01:36:53.120 an effort to even pay it forward to one other person,
01:36:55.320 and now today, you know, six years later,
01:36:57.900 we've had 1,500 graduates from our program,
01:37:00.920 and with the 20-plus suicides a day,
01:37:03.000 we've had zero suicides from any of our graduates.
01:37:05.700 Fantastic.
01:37:06.040 And then on the resiliency side,
01:37:07.640 we've spoken to at least over 100,000 warriors
01:37:10.400 in active duty,
01:37:11.560 trying to prevent them from ever ending up
01:37:13.000 in a place like I was in.
01:37:14.480 We're really thrilled to be partnered with you
01:37:17.480 on any level on that,
01:37:18.680 and I know you're doing a big fundraiser.
01:37:21.640 Is it this weekend up in Arlington?
01:37:23.840 In Arlington.
01:37:24.760 On Friday night, myself and Sergeant Major Kent,
01:37:26.960 who's the 16th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps,
01:37:28.680 will be speaking at our third annual gala in D.C.,
01:37:33.320 and it's at the Army-Navy Country Club,
01:37:36.040 and you're also doing one this fall
01:37:38.300 in the Woodlands, Texas,
01:37:39.780 and I'll be there for that one in November.
01:37:42.180 Go ahead.
01:37:42.920 November 4th, yes.
01:37:44.060 And we'll talk about that.
01:37:46.260 Can I ask you about, first,
01:37:48.900 your opinion on what is happening in North Korea?
01:37:52.020 A frightening statement was just released
01:37:55.060 from our Secretary of State.
01:37:57.860 Lindsey Graham said yesterday,
01:37:59.860 war with North Korea is inevitable.
01:38:02.760 I cannot see a way that we go to war with North Korea
01:38:08.840 that doesn't end in a million dead.
01:38:12.280 Yeah, it's not a war like we've even experienced
01:38:14.660 in the last 16 years, the probability of that.
01:38:17.980 Not even Vietnam.
01:38:19.040 I mean, this is more like old-school World War II kind of stuff.
01:38:23.360 Do you agree?
01:38:24.160 I agree.
01:38:24.800 This is what kind of our worst fear could be,
01:38:27.760 the potential of a conflict in North Korea.
01:38:30.320 And as someone who's a father of the military,
01:38:33.900 my son's a Marine,
01:38:35.560 as someone who works with the military,
01:38:37.980 this is really scary because
01:38:39.400 there's only so much even from a diplomacy position
01:38:43.420 that we could do
01:38:43.920 because these people are people,
01:38:46.080 we don't know what they're going to do.
01:38:47.160 We don't have the dialogue
01:38:48.520 to even know what their next move's going to be.
01:38:51.720 And so it's so unpredictable
01:38:52.620 and so the instabilities,
01:38:54.800 there's so much instability,
01:38:56.700 it's really scary.
01:38:57.980 I was hearing your segment earlier
01:38:59.060 about the outcome,
01:39:01.400 the series of events that would unfold
01:39:04.020 if we took a first strike
01:39:05.620 or if they did something crazy.
01:39:07.280 It's horrible.
01:39:08.020 I mean, it's just,
01:39:09.600 I can't find a way
01:39:11.140 other than going back
01:39:12.180 to some sort of a Cold War.
01:39:14.460 I mean, that's my solution.
01:39:16.460 You got to get to a Cold War with these guys.
01:39:18.340 We cannot fight a war with North Korea.
01:39:22.260 It's just too many dead
01:39:23.920 and literally collapse the economy of the world
01:39:27.760 if we go there.
01:39:29.580 Let's talk about your book,
01:39:31.360 An Unfair Advantage.
01:39:33.140 I really admire you.
01:39:35.020 I admire you for not only what you've done,
01:39:37.480 but who you came back to become,
01:39:40.640 to transform your life.
01:39:42.720 Unfair Advantage.
01:39:43.920 What is the unfair advantage?
01:39:46.180 Well, the unfair advantage
01:39:46.980 is when we make the simple decision
01:39:49.040 to align our lives
01:39:49.740 with the lives we were created to live.
01:39:51.440 And, you know,
01:39:51.800 we're all going to face hardships in this world,
01:39:53.600 whether we go to Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea,
01:39:56.220 wherever we go in life,
01:39:58.300 we're going to face hardships.
01:39:59.320 And the truth is,
01:40:00.280 in those battles,
01:40:01.120 there is an unfair advantage to winning.
01:40:02.620 And I believe I found that
01:40:03.740 when I aligned my life with the life
01:40:05.420 I believe God created me to live,
01:40:07.200 stepped into a personal relationship
01:40:08.540 with Jesus Christ.
01:40:09.900 And when I did that,
01:40:11.360 all the hardships that I faced,
01:40:12.580 and I tried everything.
01:40:13.400 I tried the pills.
01:40:14.100 I tried the counseling.
01:40:15.180 I tried MMA and jiu-jitsu
01:40:16.340 and all the fun things that did in my life,
01:40:18.840 but nothing had worked for me
01:40:20.060 until I'd made that decision.
01:40:21.940 And it truly is an unfair advantage
01:40:24.460 to the battles we have.
01:40:25.660 So what you're saying is
01:40:27.460 bringing Jesus into you
01:40:31.600 gives you more peace
01:40:32.900 than either punching
01:40:34.920 or getting punched in the face
01:40:36.280 by somebody else?
01:40:37.360 I mean, I find that's a strange concept there.
01:40:40.360 Yeah.
01:40:41.260 I mean, I can't believe you went to MMA
01:40:42.960 and like, you know what,
01:40:43.760 maybe I'll find peace there.
01:40:45.100 Just beating the snot out of somebody.
01:40:46.820 Yeah, you know, MMA and jiu-jitsu for me
01:40:50.180 was never like,
01:40:50.960 I never aspired to be a professional fighter.
01:40:52.520 It just kind of progressed
01:40:53.720 because I competed in martial arts
01:40:55.000 my whole life.
01:40:55.960 But I really thought that was the answer
01:40:57.760 when I came home.
01:40:58.420 I was struggling.
01:40:59.060 I had anxiety.
01:40:59.680 I got on those wrestling mats
01:41:00.660 and I couldn't think about Afghanistan.
01:41:02.420 So I thought I found the answer
01:41:03.740 and it helped me to cope,
01:41:06.740 but it never fixed the problem.
01:41:08.620 And it just delayed the catastrophic fall
01:41:12.040 that I had.
01:41:12.840 You have a very varied life.
01:41:15.420 I mean, just being an MMA fighter
01:41:18.040 or just being, you know, Marine recon,
01:41:21.460 that's pretty intense.
01:41:24.120 You know, Department of Defense,
01:41:26.760 air marshal, suicidal.
01:41:31.320 When you're looking at, you know,
01:41:33.900 how many pages is this?
01:41:34.920 200?
01:41:35.660 Yeah, 190?
01:41:37.320 Not even that because of all the pictures in it.
01:41:39.540 Yeah, so about 190.
01:41:41.620 How did you narrow it down to find,
01:41:46.840 what were the stories that you said,
01:41:48.880 this is a turning point
01:41:50.480 that is relatable to others?
01:41:52.740 I just, you know,
01:41:53.880 I have had a very blessed life
01:41:55.800 to get to have tons of different experiences.
01:41:58.360 And through these experiences,
01:41:59.320 I've had some hardships.
01:42:01.320 And, you know,
01:42:02.340 but beyond those hardships,
01:42:03.540 I found lessons forward.
01:42:04.400 So I looked at stories in my life
01:42:06.080 that were good antidotes
01:42:07.940 for not only lessons
01:42:10.400 or trials I faced in Afghanistan,
01:42:13.420 in MMA,
01:42:14.140 but they paralleled
01:42:15.440 with other life issues that I had.
01:42:17.100 And then the stories from the Bible
01:42:19.700 and the wisdom that I've been given
01:42:21.540 to be able to transcend those issues.
01:42:23.660 And so I wanted to share things
01:42:24.720 that had resonated with me
01:42:26.660 as I started getting better.
01:42:28.080 I know in my life,
01:42:29.220 I'm, you know,
01:42:29.680 recovering alcoholic
01:42:30.620 and, you know,
01:42:31.760 suicide in my family
01:42:32.860 and blah, blah, blah.
01:42:33.860 Give me a list of,
01:42:34.880 you know, poor me.
01:42:37.600 And those things
01:42:38.560 really held me back
01:42:40.260 because I allowed them to.
01:42:42.680 Right.
01:42:43.320 And then once I looked at them as,
01:42:47.240 I hate to say a blessing,
01:42:48.700 but a blessing,
01:42:49.740 everything that happens to you,
01:42:50.780 good or bad,
01:42:51.380 there is no bad,
01:42:52.760 it's what you deem
01:42:53.640 and how you start using it.
01:42:57.840 I've wondered,
01:42:59.000 do you think truly great men
01:43:01.300 can be truly great
01:43:02.780 without significant trials?
01:43:06.160 No, you know,
01:43:06.900 and John Maxwell said it,
01:43:08.900 he said,
01:43:09.220 God uses messed up people
01:43:11.460 because they're on any other kind.
01:43:12.820 And some of the most messed up people
01:43:14.960 that I've seen coming out
01:43:16.120 of the side of those things
01:43:16.880 have been the most influential people
01:43:18.500 in the world to help others.
01:43:21.180 And, you know,
01:43:22.380 do I wish I would have not had
01:43:24.940 the hard road I had?
01:43:25.640 Sure.
01:43:25.860 Of course, you know,
01:43:26.540 the people around me
01:43:27.780 suffered the most.
01:43:28.600 My wife, my children
01:43:29.500 suffered the most.
01:43:30.960 So I wish I could take
01:43:31.660 some of those things back.
01:43:32.500 But the reason I do
01:43:33.340 what I do at Mighty Oaks
01:43:34.220 isn't because of any kind of,
01:43:37.220 maybe because I was a recon marine
01:43:38.280 or because I was an MMA fighter
01:43:39.600 or because of anything else
01:43:40.660 other than the fact
01:43:41.380 that I fell on my face.
01:43:42.900 But I learned some lessons
01:43:43.920 along the way
01:43:44.380 and I'm able to share them
01:43:45.120 with others.
01:43:45.780 So how do you share that with,
01:43:47.560 how do you share that with
01:43:48.440 a group of people
01:43:50.320 who are being taught?
01:43:51.280 I don't,
01:43:51.660 I happen to like millennials.
01:43:53.600 I think millennials
01:43:54.160 are going to surprise everybody.
01:43:57.120 I think they're
01:43:57.820 an amazing group of people.
01:43:59.100 There are just like
01:44:00.060 in every generation
01:44:00.780 a bunch of just idiots.
01:44:03.620 But maybe it's met
01:44:04.760 my generation.
01:44:07.820 But there are those
01:44:09.600 millennials that are being taught
01:44:11.980 that you deserve it,
01:44:14.040 you have it,
01:44:15.060 no pain,
01:44:16.120 you don't have to work for it.
01:44:18.220 All this, you know,
01:44:19.160 somebody owes you.
01:44:20.780 How do you take this message
01:44:23.460 to people that aren't there?
01:44:27.460 What do you say to them?
01:44:29.200 The message of entitlement
01:44:31.960 and victimization
01:44:33.060 is cancerous to any society
01:44:34.980 and including a veteran society.
01:44:37.020 I mean, General Mattis
01:44:37.780 spoke highly on this,
01:44:38.920 about, you know,
01:44:39.180 a veteran's a veteran than this.
01:44:40.420 But beyond our veterans,
01:44:41.380 the world,
01:44:41.860 like these millennials
01:44:42.480 you're talking about,
01:44:43.580 I think the really change
01:44:44.800 comes when,
01:44:46.100 and particularly the people
01:44:47.420 we work with,
01:44:48.200 is when someone can
01:44:48.820 accept responsibility.
01:44:50.480 I mean,
01:44:51.100 we deal with veterans
01:44:52.280 that are coming to a program
01:44:53.180 like ours
01:44:53.760 and they have every reason
01:44:55.440 to say,
01:44:56.660 hey, I'm in this situation
01:44:57.640 because of this,
01:44:58.360 because of something
01:44:58.840 that happened in Iraq,
01:44:59.680 Afghanistan.
01:45:00.480 And we tell them,
01:45:01.660 hey, just the opposite.
01:45:02.520 Like, yeah,
01:45:03.080 you faced something hard
01:45:03.920 in Afghanistan,
01:45:04.720 Iraq,
01:45:05.100 your childhood,
01:45:06.140 as tragic as that event may be,
01:45:08.000 or even as heroic
01:45:08.660 as it may be.
01:45:09.440 The reason you're in
01:45:10.040 this situation you're in
01:45:10.880 isn't because of that incident,
01:45:12.260 it's because of the choices
01:45:13.260 you've made
01:45:13.720 in response to that incident.
01:45:15.640 And you never lose control of that.
01:45:17.360 You always have the power
01:45:19.040 to choose.
01:45:20.540 And when someone
01:45:22.100 can come to their realization
01:45:23.060 and take responsibility
01:45:23.900 for not only the actions
01:45:25.240 that are past,
01:45:25.820 but their path forward
01:45:26.640 and choose a different path forward,
01:45:28.840 you know,
01:45:28.980 that's when true change happens.
01:45:30.260 That's when you're able
01:45:31.100 to find successes in life
01:45:32.340 and be able to overcome
01:45:33.100 the hardships of life.
01:45:34.320 So I know I get something
01:45:35.360 out of it,
01:45:36.400 but talk to the person
01:45:41.300 that should read your book.
01:45:43.600 Why should they read it?
01:45:44.860 You know,
01:45:45.160 it's everyone.
01:45:45.960 I wrote the book
01:45:46.760 specifically to men.
01:45:48.800 And if you went
01:45:50.240 even more specific
01:45:51.000 to military men,
01:45:51.740 but the reason I truly
01:45:52.640 wrote the book
01:45:53.260 was because when I go
01:45:54.280 speak places,
01:45:55.180 I always have the family member,
01:45:57.160 the mom,
01:45:57.800 the wife,
01:45:58.720 the friend that says,
01:45:59.740 hey,
01:45:59.880 I have my friend
01:46:01.920 as a Marine
01:46:02.520 and he would never come
01:46:03.460 to this church
01:46:03.960 and hear you speak
01:46:04.600 or he would never come
01:46:05.100 to this event
01:46:05.480 and hear you speak.
01:46:06.440 What can I do to help him?
01:46:07.480 Because he's tucked
01:46:08.380 under a rock somewhere.
01:46:09.440 And I say,
01:46:10.040 well,
01:46:10.220 here's our program.
01:46:11.260 It's Mighty Oaks.
01:46:11.900 It's free.
01:46:12.400 You can send them.
01:46:12.920 And they say,
01:46:13.180 well,
01:46:13.260 he would never go
01:46:13.760 to anywhere like that.
01:46:15.060 And so I wrote this book
01:46:16.080 so someone could take that,
01:46:17.360 take the messages of it
01:46:19.160 and either learn
01:46:19.720 how to read it
01:46:20.540 and learn how to identify
01:46:21.940 to help them
01:46:22.620 or give it to them
01:46:23.940 and be able to read it
01:46:24.760 and be challenged enough
01:46:26.420 to take responsibility.
01:46:27.680 So what is the stigma?
01:46:28.780 Because I know with AA,
01:46:30.840 you know,
01:46:31.480 as an alcoholic,
01:46:32.220 I wasn't going to listen
01:46:33.120 to some expert.
01:46:34.040 I wasn't going to listen,
01:46:34.880 you know.
01:46:35.360 Yeah,
01:46:35.560 all right.
01:46:35.920 Well,
01:46:36.160 you've been here,
01:46:37.480 but once you talk
01:46:38.440 to somebody
01:46:38.920 who's actually been there,
01:46:40.540 they can speak the same.
01:46:41.960 You just look in their eyes.
01:46:42.900 You know they know.
01:46:44.160 Okay.
01:46:44.280 Yeah.
01:46:44.440 The same with service guys.
01:46:48.580 You know,
01:46:48.740 you're in the military
01:46:50.220 and you're not going to listen
01:46:50.940 to a clown like me.
01:46:52.140 You're going to listen
01:46:52.860 to somebody
01:46:53.280 who's actually been there.
01:46:55.440 With alcoholics,
01:46:57.040 the stigma is,
01:46:58.720 I'm not a drunk.
01:47:00.180 What is the stigma
01:47:01.500 with PTSD?
01:47:03.780 Why do they close
01:47:04.700 in their own shell
01:47:05.620 and not reach out
01:47:07.680 to another serviceman?
01:47:09.960 Because everyone thinks
01:47:10.840 their situation is unique.
01:47:11.980 You know,
01:47:12.540 and that's probably
01:47:14.400 one of the biggest obstacles
01:47:15.620 that guys face
01:47:17.600 when you talk about
01:47:18.180 something like suicide.
01:47:19.120 How do 20 guys per day
01:47:21.000 end up in a place
01:47:21.700 of hopelessness
01:47:22.300 where they stick a pistol
01:47:23.060 in their mouth
01:47:23.440 and pull the trigger?
01:47:24.300 It's because they feel
01:47:25.180 like there's no one
01:47:25.920 that can connect with them.
01:47:28.040 And that's one of the things
01:47:29.200 that we end up
01:47:30.040 being able to do
01:47:31.340 because we are them.
01:47:32.340 We're not a counselor.
01:47:33.320 We're not their spouse.
01:47:34.220 We're not their mom.
01:47:34.840 We're able to come to them
01:47:36.000 peer to peer and say,
01:47:37.600 you know,
01:47:38.120 hey,
01:47:38.500 look,
01:47:38.760 I know where you are
01:47:39.520 and maybe I don't have
01:47:40.760 the exact same experience
01:47:42.120 you have,
01:47:42.760 but, you know,
01:47:43.880 I know this road
01:47:44.980 and they are able
01:47:45.940 to tell them something
01:47:46.640 their counselor can't
01:47:47.560 and challenge them
01:47:48.300 and ask them
01:47:49.320 the hard questions.
01:47:50.480 You know,
01:47:50.640 the clinical counselors
01:47:51.960 that are available
01:47:52.500 to some of the military
01:47:53.500 and we bash the VA
01:47:54.800 and all this stuff,
01:47:55.540 but the truth is
01:47:56.120 some of them
01:47:56.460 are very qualified.
01:47:57.360 It's the veteran
01:47:57.800 that disqualifies them
01:47:58.780 because of a sense
01:47:59.400 of arrogance
01:48:00.380 or entitlement
01:48:01.000 or you don't know
01:48:01.620 where I've been.
01:48:02.660 But the truth is
01:48:03.380 there's wisdom
01:48:03.860 as you open years,
01:48:05.260 there's wisdom
01:48:05.540 all over the place
01:48:06.340 and principles
01:48:07.120 that you can take
01:48:07.720 to go forward.
01:48:08.260 So we really have to be
01:48:09.640 the ones peer-to-peer
01:48:10.640 to crush those walls down
01:48:12.620 and say,
01:48:13.060 hey,
01:48:13.180 you need to get help
01:48:14.100 and here's the different
01:48:14.900 options to get help
01:48:15.860 moving forward.
01:48:17.480 Being in a program
01:48:18.900 like we do at Mighty Oaks,
01:48:20.380 peer-to-peer,
01:48:20.920 we're able to do that
01:48:21.740 and ask them
01:48:22.840 those tough things.
01:48:23.860 Do you ever read anything
01:48:24.880 about World War I
01:48:25.760 and what happened
01:48:26.520 to the guys
01:48:27.220 in World War I
01:48:27.940 and how traumatized
01:48:29.400 they were?
01:48:30.300 Yeah,
01:48:30.660 I mean,
01:48:30.920 I think a lot of,
01:48:32.280 one of the things
01:48:32.880 I hear a lot is
01:48:33.500 why is this generation
01:48:34.700 in Afghanistan and Iraq
01:48:35.940 suffering more than
01:48:37.060 World War I
01:48:37.600 and World War II
01:48:38.240 and that's not true.
01:48:39.260 That's not true.
01:48:39.860 They just kept it
01:48:40.460 to themselves
01:48:41.060 and they didn't say anything.
01:48:42.520 It was,
01:48:43.500 I think they felt shame
01:48:45.000 on it
01:48:45.520 and I think the families
01:48:46.560 felt shame on it
01:48:47.500 because you don't
01:48:48.100 talk about that.
01:48:49.140 You brush that stuff
01:48:50.880 back.
01:48:52.560 But the more I read
01:48:53.860 about what happened,
01:48:54.820 especially World War I,
01:48:55.980 the guys came back
01:48:56.860 and they were just,
01:48:57.520 you know,
01:48:57.680 they'd never seen,
01:48:59.560 you know,
01:48:59.980 Europe lost almost
01:49:01.560 every horse
01:49:02.540 because of tanks
01:49:04.360 and gas
01:49:04.900 and everything else
01:49:05.580 and they just,
01:49:06.300 it was a different
01:49:07.060 world to them.
01:49:08.820 The book is
01:49:09.800 An Unfair Advantage,
01:49:11.540 Victory in the Midst of Battle.
01:49:13.860 Chad is really
01:49:16.080 a very wise,
01:49:18.180 wise guy.
01:49:19.100 If you know somebody
01:49:20.480 that is struggling
01:49:21.340 or if it is you,
01:49:23.760 I know this sounds weird,
01:49:26.280 but you are not unique.
01:49:28.780 It is amazing
01:49:29.720 how much comfort
01:49:30.600 you will find
01:49:31.240 talking to somebody
01:49:32.280 who's actually been there
01:49:33.760 or reading the words,
01:49:35.160 An Unfair Advantage,
01:49:36.520 Victory in the Midst of Battle.
01:49:38.120 Chad, thank you.

01:49:47.660 people who are breaking

01:49:49.700 are just as afraid of you,
01:49:51.080 if you're in Texas,
01:49:51.980 probably more afraid,
01:49:53.140 than you are of them.
01:49:55.860 They don't want
01:49:56.660 to run into you.

01:50:39.660 You're listening
01:50:43.080 to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:50:46.020 Mercury.
01:50:49.940 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:50:52.000 Okay, so the Republicans
01:50:54.700 have worked in Congress
01:50:56.740 to bypass the president
01:50:58.980 to shore up health care.
01:51:01.700 The president
01:51:03.540 has said that he is going
01:51:06.160 to stop making payments
01:51:06.960 to the health insurance companies
01:51:08.320 to reimburse them
01:51:10.380 for reducing the out-of-pocket
01:51:12.080 medical expenses
01:51:13.440 of low-income people.
01:51:14.540 How does that
01:51:18.080 possibly help?
01:51:20.880 How does that
01:51:21.820 possibly help?
01:51:23.400 And now,
01:51:24.520 the Republicans
01:51:25.380 are in a place
01:51:26.600 to where they have
01:51:27.560 to stand up.
01:51:28.900 They didn't
01:51:29.680 dismantle
01:51:32.080 Obamacare.
01:51:33.180 They had no intention.
01:51:34.300 Now,
01:51:34.820 they are actually
01:51:35.420 standing up
01:51:36.340 to make sure
01:51:38.480 that nobody
01:51:39.140 touches Obamacare.
01:51:40.940 That's how crazy
01:51:41.800 this world is.
01:51:42.700 It's shoring up
01:51:43.680 the parts that are failing.
01:51:44.960 I mean,
01:51:45.320 this is a bailout
01:51:46.200 for Obamacare.
01:51:47.680 That Republicans
01:51:48.380 are...
01:51:48.740 That Republicans,
01:51:49.480 instead of repealing it,
01:51:51.540 they're now bailing it out.
01:51:53.400 And they're bailing it out
01:51:54.600 because the president said,
01:51:56.140 I'm just going to stop
01:51:57.140 spending the money,
01:51:58.000 which would hurt
01:51:59.280 the average person.
01:52:02.440 Can somebody
01:52:03.700 please start
01:52:05.220 listening and working
01:52:06.640 for the American people?
01:52:10.120 Don't.
01:52:11.400 This is
01:52:12.320 the Glenn Beck
01:52:13.920 program.
