The Glenn Beck Program - 8⧸25⧸17 - ＂Wake Up America!＂ (Bill O'Reilly & Attorney General Ken Paxton join Glenn)

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

00:00:07.440 All right, here's what you need to know today.

00:00:10.060 Start the day off with Harvey.

00:00:13.680 Who's Harvey?

00:00:15.300 A storm that is about to pummel Texas.

00:00:18.340 All week we've heard this could be a major hurricane.

00:00:21.640 Category 3 and above qualify as major.

00:00:24.720 The last time that the United States had a major hurricane make landfall,

00:00:30.000 was 2005.

00:00:31.700 You might recognize that as being 12 years ago.

00:00:37.260 And that's if this one even turns out to be a major hurricane.

00:00:41.340 You might also recognize 2005 as being the year of Hurricane Katrina.

00:00:46.360 And the time just before Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth came out in January of 06.

00:00:53.060 If you remember in that Oscar award winning, riveting, well done movie,

00:00:58.820 Al predicted that because of climate change, hurricanes would become more frequent and more intense.

00:01:06.720 Since Al Gore's dire warning, we have set an all-time record for the lack,

00:01:14.260 the dearth, the scarcity of major hurricanes.

00:01:20.520 Not only that, but there has been an unprecedented lack of hurricanes of any kind

00:01:27.240 since Al Gore's maniacal rantings.

00:01:32.180 Here's a fact.

00:01:35.280 Even as Al Gore continues to profit from his climate hysteria with movies, seminars all over the world,

00:01:41.140 and his investments, he continues to be proven wrong on virtually all of his major claims.

00:01:47.760 And as we build up to this hurricane,

00:01:52.180 if your media source isn't exposing those simple, provable, undeniable facts,

00:02:00.820 it is definitely time you find a new media source.

00:02:05.460 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand,

00:02:13.720 cause we are one, I will beat my drum, I have made my choice,

00:02:20.020 we will overcome, cause we are one.

00:02:24.440 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:27.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:33.800 So here's what's going to happen to the great state of Texas.

00:02:38.640 Texas is going to be possibly pummeled with this storm,

00:02:43.960 and Texans will gather together, and we will take care of each other,

00:02:48.820 and we will heal each other, and we will rebuild,

00:02:51.780 and then we'll move on with our life.

00:02:54.440 Because that's what Texans do. 1.00

00:02:57.340 Um, it's an interesting thing to watch Texas prepare for a hurricane.

00:03:04.920 They know what to do, and they know that they can trust their neighbors and their friends,

00:03:11.160 and nobody here is looking for the federal government to do anything.

00:03:14.680 Did you guys see the, uh, who was it that was said, uh, oh, it was Matt Drudge.

00:03:20.380 May I ask what the hell happened with Matt Drudge and Donald Trump?

00:03:24.100 What happened?

00:03:25.620 Does anybody know?

00:03:27.360 No.

00:03:27.800 No.

00:03:28.400 Okay.

00:03:29.040 Did you see that the headline was,

00:03:32.060 first major test of Donald Trump?

00:03:36.820 And this is, he was making a big deal yesterday out of,

00:03:40.280 how is Donald Trump even ready?

00:03:42.700 You know what?

00:03:43.880 Wow.

00:03:45.500 New Orleans should have been ready.

00:03:48.860 It was New Orleans' fault.

00:03:50.660 It wasn't the president's fault.

00:03:51.880 And I would have said that under, uh, under, uh, Barack Obama.

00:03:55.660 It, it was foreseeable that Katrina was going to happen.

00:04:01.560 In fact, a year before, and if, correct me if I'm wrong, Stu, almost to the day, wasn't it?

00:04:07.620 I did a, uh, an episode on radio of the 10 most dangerous cities in America.

00:04:14.580 And most of them, um, were from, uh, all kinds of different things.

00:04:20.120 But mainly, at the time, it was due to terror.

00:04:24.960 And everybody was expecting New York was going to be number one.

00:04:28.260 I think we did it over a two or three day period, didn't we?

00:04:30.580 Yeah, and the other one, the other big one everyone was talking about was, uh,

00:04:34.580 L.A. for the big earthquakes.

00:04:36.300 Earthquakes, yeah.

00:04:36.880 That was another one.

00:04:37.580 Yeah.

00:04:38.280 And it, I remember it took the audience by surprise, um, because it took me by surprise

00:04:43.640 when we did our homework.

00:04:44.740 The number one most dangerous city in America was New Orleans.

00:04:49.900 And I said, it is way overdue for a major hurricane.

00:04:53.180 The levees have never been repaired.

00:04:55.400 They keep asking for, you know, more tax dollars to fix the levees.

00:04:59.860 But they never fix the levees.

00:05:01.860 It's a giant bowl.

00:05:03.080 We should, we should post that, um, that episode.

00:05:07.160 Uh, and it was a year later that Katrina happened.

00:05:11.080 I only bring that up because I'm not a genius.

00:05:14.040 All I did was I got together with my research team and said, hey, guys, what's the most vulnerable,

00:05:20.080 you know, with the power grid, with terrorism, with everything else?

00:05:23.400 Where, where are our vulnerabilities?

00:05:26.340 Surprisingly, we found New Orleans.

00:05:28.200 So whose fault was that?

00:05:30.220 Was that George Bush's fault?

00:05:31.880 No, that wasn't George Bush's fault.

00:05:33.780 That was the corrupt system in the city of New Orleans that constantly asked for more bond money,

00:05:40.520 more money to fix the levees than never fixing them right. 0.84

00:05:44.000 And then waiting until the last minute.

00:05:47.820 What is Texas doing today?

00:05:50.060 I can guarantee you that Texans are battening down the hatches and they are ready.

00:05:55.680 And if Galveston or, or Corpus Christi or any place else, God forbid, is damaged,

00:06:01.820 we in Texas, all of us will be on the front lines to help them.

00:06:05.640 And federal government, we don't need your help.

00:06:09.500 I don't need to see a FEMA truck.

00:06:11.500 We don't need to see a FEMA truck.

00:06:13.620 Though you will.

00:06:14.820 Though you will.

00:06:15.420 Absolutely.

00:06:15.980 Though you will.

00:06:16.460 I would assume it will be, if it does get as bad as they're saying it's going to be.

00:06:20.180 Correct.

00:06:21.400 But do you have any doubt that if the FEMA trucks didn't make it, Texans would survive?

00:06:28.800 Oh, no.

00:06:29.540 Yeah.

00:06:29.820 Of course.

00:06:30.080 Texans are going to survive.

00:06:32.300 And I want to, I just want to spread this message to you.

00:06:36.620 So will we.

00:06:38.340 We could be hit by the biggest hurricane.

00:06:40.860 We could be hit by the biggest financial hurricane.

00:06:45.040 We could even be hit with civil war and global war.

00:06:49.100 I told you yesterday.

00:06:50.500 In 30, in the next three months, in the next 90 days, I do not believe it is probable,

00:06:58.080 but it is possible that the United States is hit by a massive 2008 or worse style economic crash.

00:07:08.820 Say that happens in October.

00:07:11.380 By Christmas, we could be in a global conflict because our enemies would see our weakness and our distractions.

00:07:20.020 We could be in a global conflict, and because our enemies are inside the gates between the neo-Nazis, 0.92

00:07:28.200 the white supremacists and the black supremacists, we could be in civil war. 0.57

00:07:32.500 By Christmas, it is not probable, but it is possible for a reasonable peace person to think.

00:07:41.440 Major economic downturn, civil war, and global war.

00:07:46.880 That could happen.

00:07:49.780 Are we going to make it?

00:07:51.620 Yeah.

00:07:52.240 Should we choose?

00:07:53.340 Yes.

00:07:54.240 As long as we remember who we are, as long as we remember we're Americans.

00:07:59.000 We make it.

00:07:59.780 We get through it.

00:08:00.700 We pull together.

00:08:01.660 We come together.

00:08:02.620 In the end, when the chips are down, that's when we're at our best.

00:08:07.960 That hasn't been lost in Texas.

00:08:10.320 You know what the other story on the hurricane is?

00:08:14.460 That if it turns, it could actually hit Corpus, then go back out into the Gulf, get some more strength, and then come back and hit Galveston.

00:08:23.760 But it also could hit New Orleans.

00:08:27.760 And what's the story on New Orleans?

00:08:30.780 New Orleans sorely prepared.

00:08:34.880 What?

00:08:35.320 How is that possible?

00:08:37.020 How is it even possible?

00:08:38.420 Corruption.

00:08:39.700 Horrible government.

00:08:41.020 That's why.

00:08:42.520 It is, and it has nothing to do with the federal government.

00:08:46.020 It has nothing to do with the last eight years of Barack Obama.

00:08:50.800 It has everything to do with a horrible, corrupt state and local government.

00:08:56.620 Period.

00:08:57.320 That's what it is.

00:08:58.340 Because the local government of New Orleans wants to spend their money elsewhere.

00:09:03.640 Did you see in Connecticut they're having problems making payments on all the loans?

00:09:10.740 And so now Connecticut bonds are starting to look bad?

00:09:14.300 Huh.

00:09:15.060 Really?

00:09:15.820 I would have thought Connecticut would always be able to pay their bills.

00:09:21.440 I mean, they weren't wasting money.

00:09:23.080 Yeah, I remember they had a big controversy a couple decades ago because they didn't have an income tax.

00:09:28.340 And they said if they just passed this income tax, then we would solve all the problems financially of Connecticut.

00:09:34.100 And then they passed it.

00:09:35.080 And it went into effect.

00:09:36.120 So how could they possibly be in trouble?

00:09:38.040 So here's what the state government said this week.

00:09:40.580 I love this.

00:09:42.800 We may have spent money on things we shouldn't have spent money on.

00:09:47.940 No! 1.00

00:09:49.960 Shut up! 1.00

00:09:50.920 I won't hear it. 1.00

00:09:51.860 Shut up! 1.00

00:09:53.420 Yeah. 1.00

00:09:53.760 They say we're just finishing paying for prisons that we're closing down.

00:10:01.040 Huh!

00:10:02.100 That's crazy.

00:10:02.820 I mean, just crazy.

00:10:04.360 Just crazy.

00:10:05.660 So all you have to do is just recognize who we are.

00:10:09.020 And also, I want to throw something else out there.

00:10:13.280 I'm going to take a quick break.

00:10:14.620 And then I'm going to come back.

00:10:15.720 The other part of that is know who you're standing with.

00:10:20.360 Know who you're standing with.

00:10:21.940 Because there is an amazing thing going on that people will sound pretty reasonable.

00:10:29.520 I'm going to play some incredible audio where the guy sounds pretty reasonable in this little clip that I've heard.

00:10:37.680 And then all of a sudden, something comes out and you're like, oh, what?

00:10:43.840 I hate to use the word most incredible anymore.

00:10:47.180 Because, I mean, every day something is the most incredible whatever.

00:10:51.340 But, holy cow. 0.94

00:10:53.380 If this doesn't, you know, in a very scary slash hysterical way show you, you better open your eyes.

00:11:03.460 Because it's not what you think it is.

00:11:09.200 It's just not what you think it is.

00:11:11.140 Nothing will.

00:11:12.660 But we go there next.

00:11:14.340 First, let me tell you about a guy named Buddy.

00:11:17.360 Buddy is a army vet.

00:11:19.420 He spent his life defending the country.

00:11:22.380 His daughter had a boyfriend.

00:11:27.280 He was not necessarily a good guy.

00:11:31.900 She breaks up with him.

00:11:34.060 He comes over, shows up on Buddy's doorstep.

00:11:37.220 And he's got a gang of thugs.

00:11:39.960 And he's going to teach the family and Buddy's daughter a lesson or two.

00:11:44.640 Now, what would you do?

00:11:47.520 You are an army vet.

00:11:50.620 You have the capabilities.

00:11:52.980 You have guns in your house.

00:11:55.500 And a violent, leaning ex-boyfriend shows up, wants your daughter, wants to teach her and the family a lesson,

00:12:07.300 and has got a gang of thugs on your doorstep.

00:12:10.420 What do you do?

00:12:12.240 Remember, you have a gun in the house.

00:12:13.740 And remember, you've defended your life several times in the past and your country.

00:12:19.720 Well, you probably call the police and get the gun ready.

00:12:23.340 That's exactly what he did.

00:12:24.760 That's exactly what he did.

00:12:26.580 Police show up.

00:12:28.500 They arrested Buddy.

00:12:31.500 They arrested Buddy.

00:12:33.840 Now, here's the thing.

00:12:36.200 He had a membership in USCCA.

00:12:38.820 That's the United States Concealed Carry Association.

00:12:40.960 He knew, and this is one of the reasons why he joined up,

00:12:45.500 he knew that if, God forbid, I ever have to defend myself,

00:12:50.180 I am going to be looked at as the bad guy in this country.

00:12:53.900 Because he has membership, that gives him access to a network instantly of the pro-Second Amendment attorneys.

00:13:02.000 He gets up front bail, up front on the legal fees, and the peace of mind that somebody is in his corner.

00:13:11.460 USCCA got Buddy back to his daughter, got Buddy back to his wife, got Buddy back to his life.

00:13:20.740 Please join the USCCA, protectanddefend.com.

00:14:06.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:14:08.320 Sign up for the newsletter and get all the info you need to know at glennbeck.com.

00:14:12.820 All right, we have Bill O'Reilly coming up in just about a half hour.

00:14:15.700 Also, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who I love this guy.

00:14:20.540 He is going to tell us a little bit about the latest decision regarding the Texas voter ID law.

00:14:28.860 Ken Paxton will be joining us for that.

00:14:31.180 At the top of our number three, I want to spend a few minutes here sharing with you a guy.

00:14:39.500 He's from South Carolina.

00:14:41.640 He's from North Carolina.

00:14:42.380 North Carolina.

00:14:43.040 But he's in South Carolina.

00:14:44.260 Yeah.

00:14:44.400 He's going down to South Carolina, and he wants to restore the Confederate flag.

00:14:49.960 This is just something that I just want to play.

00:14:52.780 You've got to be careful of who you're standing next to,

00:14:56.480 because sometimes people will sound totally reasonable.

00:14:59.900 And I want you to listen to, I don't agree with him,

00:15:02.640 but I want you to listen to, he sounds like a pretty normal guy

00:15:07.160 until one thing slips through his lips.

00:15:10.880 As he's explaining to the press that the Confederate flag is not racist,

00:15:18.080 and he's not a racist, listen up.

00:15:21.080 How do women feel about abortion? 1.00

00:15:22.740 That's the same type of symbol.

00:15:25.620 Again, I don't believe it's a symbol of racism.

00:15:28.260 I don't believe it's a symbol of slavery.

00:15:30.020 That's my personal view, but how they feel is their business.

00:15:32.480 But it would be ludicrous for me to tell you how they...

00:15:35.180 Stop for a second.

00:15:35.640 I say, sounds reasonable, right?

00:15:37.100 Mm-hmm.

00:15:37.980 That sounds American.

00:15:39.340 Yeah.

00:15:39.740 Look, I don't think so, but that's my personal view,

00:15:42.360 and if you want to view it a different way, I understand that.

00:15:45.220 Mm-hmm.

00:15:45.460 Sounds reasonable.

00:15:48.640 Hey, I get down the street, I see Martin Luther King.

00:15:51.740 I shouldn't say that.

00:15:52.940 Martin Luther King.

00:15:53.980 Oh, my.

00:15:54.460 Stop.

00:15:54.760 I mean, stop.

00:15:55.460 Stop.

00:15:56.480 Good.

00:15:57.640 Good.

00:15:58.140 Okay.

00:15:58.540 So, you know what's amazing about this is it's clear that that's the way he refers

00:16:06.920 to Martin Luther King.

00:16:08.160 Always.

00:16:09.400 Because he wasn't trying to make a point.

00:16:11.860 He's just like, I see on the streets, Martin Luther King.

00:16:15.760 Oh, I shouldn't have said that.

00:16:16.960 Yeah.

00:16:17.640 No, you shouldn't have.

00:16:19.080 You're right on that one.

00:16:20.060 No, you shouldn't have.

00:16:21.220 And maybe not just here.

00:16:22.400 You should never say those things or think those things, but apparently you do.

00:16:28.540 Oh, wow.

00:16:30.220 But I'm not a racist, but I love everybody.

00:16:33.920 I mean, some of my best friends.

00:16:35.880 You know what?

00:16:36.400 I just want to talk to you.

00:16:37.700 No matter what, don't finish that sentence, sir.

00:16:39.900 I just want to tell you that, I mean, the banks are out of control, and they're colluding

00:16:46.080 with the government and the corporations, and they're getting rich, and we're not.

00:16:55.340 And, you know, I think that everybody really kind of understands.

00:16:57.940 And if you don't agree with that, that's fine. 1.00

00:16:59.860 I mean, you know, it's just these damn Jew bankers. 1.00

00:17:01.820 I mean, I shouldn't have said that. 1.00

00:17:03.620 I shouldn't have said that.

00:17:04.200 I shouldn't have said that. 1.00

00:17:05.280 Darn it. 1.00

00:17:06.160 Darn it. 1.00

00:17:06.880 Darn it. 1.00

00:17:07.520 I know I love the Jews. 1.00

00:17:09.240 I just think they all should be shoved into another room. 0.97

00:17:12.260 I shouldn't have said that.

00:17:13.960 Other room, I meant.

00:17:16.100 That's what I meant.

00:17:17.200 That's incredible.

00:17:17.580 Because I'm going to give them cake.

00:17:18.600 I mean, this is crazy.

00:17:20.360 See your true colors shining through.

00:17:22.760 Yeah.

00:17:23.280 That's really, really.

00:17:24.800 And I will say that that is an effect of the way.

00:17:29.640 I am 100% behind people who say, let's out these white supremacists. 0.95

00:17:34.780 Let's mock them. 0.91

00:17:36.640 Let's expose their viewpoints.

00:17:39.600 You know, there's these weird things now where they're like, there's these Twitter accounts

00:17:42.600 that are taking pictures of the people in the rallies and they're trying to give them

00:17:45.960 consequences at their jobs and all those other things.

00:17:48.860 You know, those are weird.

00:17:51.460 But what that does in the end is put these people back in the closet.

00:17:54.920 Back in the closet.

00:17:55.760 They don't admit it. 1.00

00:17:56.500 I'd rather hear these idiots. 1.00

00:17:57.940 I'd rather watch every one of them walk down the street with a torch. 1.00

00:18:01.260 Right.

00:18:01.620 Because instead of this.

00:18:02.780 I don't know who they are.

00:18:03.440 I don't put them in a hood.

00:18:04.440 I want to know who they are.

00:18:05.180 So I can avoid them.

00:18:05.940 Yes.

00:18:06.220 It's interesting, too, because a lot of them are proud of it.

00:18:09.220 They don't have any problem being racist.

00:18:11.000 Well, I will tell you this.

00:18:11.740 They're proud of it.

00:18:12.140 This should tell this should tell white people. 0.76

00:18:15.520 I mean, you know, you probably I've told this story before and I don't remember what city

00:18:20.400 it was in.

00:18:22.460 And I don't want to say because I because I don't remember for sure.

00:18:25.100 But I was there with the I think the chief of police, the head of this theater and somebody

00:18:35.040 else, maybe somebody from the mayor's office.

00:18:37.260 I don't even remember.

00:18:38.280 And I'm standing backstage and we're talking.

00:18:41.160 Were you there, Pat?

00:18:42.160 We're standing backstage.

00:18:43.940 And but it was in.

00:18:45.440 It don't say.

00:18:46.860 So I shouldn't have said that.

00:18:49.300 Oh, it wasn't.

00:18:51.040 It wasn't.

00:18:51.460 It actually wasn't there.

00:18:52.360 It was.

00:18:52.760 It was in Nova Scotia.

00:18:54.420 No, seriously.

00:18:54.980 It was not in Louisville.

00:18:55.900 Legitimately.

00:18:56.340 I remember where it was and it was not.

00:18:57.820 Yeah.

00:18:58.020 OK, so and I'm I'm standing backstage and they said we are on CST.

00:19:05.260 I said, I like to start the shows on time.

00:19:08.100 You know, people come here.

00:19:09.460 Let's start on time.

00:19:10.580 Let's you know.

00:19:11.560 And I can I can actually run over.

00:19:13.580 I hear from time to time.

00:19:14.820 So let's start on time.

00:19:16.280 And the head of theater and the sheriff or the police or whatever, they're all standing

00:19:22.380 around.

00:19:22.680 They said, well, you're on CST here.

00:19:25.320 And I said, what, what's CST?

00:19:29.920 And they said, you know, colored standard time.

00:19:33.400 Colored's never run on time.

00:19:35.100 Oh, man.

00:19:35.440 And I'm like, what, what, what?

00:19:40.080 I mean, I couldn't believe it.

00:19:43.720 And this kind of thing where this guy is talking and he sounds kind of reasonable warning.

00:19:51.360 That should be a warning to for you to wake up on who you're standing next to.

00:19:55.720 They might sound reasonable, but they very well may not be.

00:19:58.840 And also, America, wake up.

00:20:00.980 This stuff is exactly what our black neighbors are talking about that we never see. 1.00

00:20:07.600 Back in a minute. 0.85

00:20:11.340 The Glenn Beck program.

00:20:14.340 Mercury.

00:20:17.580 The Glenn Beck program.

00:20:19.480 We're just talking about ESPN here.

00:20:24.940 What's her name?

00:20:25.700 Mary Steele?

00:20:26.440 No, Sage Steele.

00:20:27.120 Sage Steele.

00:20:28.480 Sage Steele.

00:20:30.540 She's just come out.

00:20:31.520 They're revamping SportsCenter.

00:20:33.500 As you know, if you've listened to me for more than 10 minutes, I am not a sports fan

00:20:38.920 at all.

00:20:39.280 But we have had a, I mean, you know, Pat and I had a mental breakdown earlier this week.

00:20:47.460 More me than Pat.

00:20:49.480 Um, uh, but, uh, you know, I'm just, I'm so sick and tired of being pushed around and

00:20:57.160 accepting it.

00:20:58.260 Uh, and, and as Pat pointed out, um, to me the other day, I said, when are you, when

00:21:03.720 are you guys going to, when are you guys going to just stand up and say enough is enough ESPN?

00:21:07.420 Because ESPN continues to be the arbiter of all that is right and holy and just, and they're wrong.

00:21:17.700 When you, you know, I understand you want to stand up and say, Hey, this is wrong.

00:21:21.740 This is an injustice and we won't tolerate it.

00:21:24.320 Fine.

00:21:25.080 Chink in the armor or taking the guy and moving him around because your audience you think is 1.00

00:21:31.220 too stupid. 1.00

00:21:31.980 Then they're going to be offended by a guy named Robert Lee. 1.00

00:21:35.180 And maybe the worst example that a lot of people pass over is the, the guy who was announcing

00:21:39.900 Venus Williams tennis match and said she was in, you know, in guerrilla warfare, G U E R R. 1.00

00:21:46.380 And everyone I go for a few people on Twitter thought he meant G O R I L L A guerrilla.

00:21:52.360 And because a few people didn't know the word he used, he got fired.

00:21:58.100 Right.

00:21:58.360 It's unbelievable.

00:21:59.320 So ESPN has just gone over the cliff.

00:22:02.300 And as I've been saying for a while, the righteous don't suddenly become righteous.

00:22:07.540 They just refuse to go over the cliff with everybody else.

00:22:10.560 ESPN will not learn until you push back.

00:22:15.520 Now their ratings have gone down.

00:22:17.740 And I think it's because of this.

00:22:19.700 People don't want that from them.

00:22:21.160 You just want sports.

00:22:23.060 But the other thing is, is we don't go after their main money source, their main money source.

00:22:28.740 I'm sorry.

00:22:29.240 ESPN is very, very profitable, but you know, what's more profitable and more important?

00:22:34.380 The mouse.

00:22:36.140 It's owned by ABC Disney.

00:22:38.700 You go after Disney and I promise you they will stop, but you have to actually have a credible

00:22:46.640 threat.

00:22:47.120 Tanya and I talked about it last night and we talked about how people, you know, don't

00:22:52.740 necessarily want to do this.

00:22:53.940 You've got a five-year-old kid.

00:22:55.400 You've got your daughter.

00:22:57.200 You've promised her she's going to be a princess.

00:22:59.300 You're going to go to, you know, Disney World and we're saving up for it.

00:23:03.660 And then to make some point with ESPN, you say, I'm not going to take you to Disney World.

00:23:09.120 Explain that to your five-year-old.

00:23:11.620 Nobody wants to do that.

00:23:13.060 And everybody wants to have that magic.

00:23:14.940 But there comes a point to where you're going to have to say, you know what, this is more

00:23:21.220 important.

00:23:22.080 It's more important that she has a culture that she can grow up in that makes sense and 1.00

00:23:28.920 isn't silencing people for stupid things. 0.99

00:23:32.700 It's more important than the Disney experience. 0.98

00:23:35.160 And I don't know how I'd explain it to her.

00:23:36.720 And I know I'm going to miss the magic more than she will, but I got to stand.

00:23:43.120 And so I made that point.

00:23:44.880 I don't expect anybody else to join that, but I'm not going to Disney World.

00:23:49.520 I will not go to Disneyland.

00:23:52.520 I'm not going to swear off Star Wars, but I am going to do my part.

00:23:58.200 I will do as much as I possibly can.

00:24:01.540 And I am a huge, my kids are still begging, dad, when are we going to go back to Disneyland?

00:24:06.720 Disneyland.

00:24:08.560 Never.

00:24:09.260 We're not.

00:24:10.220 Until ESPN is reined in.

00:24:14.500 It's called Save Your Money, Kid.

00:24:16.340 That's what it's called.

00:24:17.200 Yeah.

00:24:18.040 You'll know when you buy the ticket.

00:24:20.140 Okay.

00:24:20.440 So now, so here comes Mary Sage Steele, and she is talking about a revamp.

00:24:25.980 It's just Sage Steele.

00:24:27.380 Oh, yes.

00:24:28.160 I thought it was Mary.

00:24:29.080 No, it's got nothing to do with Mary.

00:24:30.660 I don't know where you're getting that from.

00:24:32.400 Mary Sage Steele.

00:24:33.760 No, I was going to marry her because I was going to leave my wife.

00:24:36.720 And marry her because I was so excited.

00:24:39.480 I was so excited about sanity being restored to ESPN.

00:24:44.860 And she said the people she.

00:24:46.380 I think that's R-R-Y. 1.00

00:24:46.980 Yeah.

00:24:47.720 Which I corrected on my copy.

00:24:49.360 Okay.

00:24:51.280 This is on my copy.

00:24:52.880 I don't know who these people are.

00:24:54.320 But she says, you know, she's going to revamp this because she says the people she talks

00:25:00.180 to want more sports.

00:25:01.640 It's so true. 0.84

00:25:03.300 Nobody.

00:25:03.980 And as she said, nobody is watching ESPN to hear about Charlottesville.

00:25:08.900 I mean, if you're here, if you want to hear about Charlottesville, you're going to Fox,

00:25:12.020 you're going to MSNBC.

00:25:13.240 Sure.

00:25:13.420 You are not going to ESPN for that.

00:25:15.440 She says, for the most part, I think we leave social and political issues to the news

00:25:20.760 networks.

00:25:21.340 Thank you.

00:25:21.620 Not everybody agrees with me on that.

00:25:23.060 Not everybody I work with agrees with me.

00:25:25.140 That's my personal opinion.

00:25:26.960 That sports are where we go to escape.

00:25:30.460 I agree with you on this.

00:25:32.820 Here's the thing.

00:25:33.360 When you turn on SportsCenter, that's not what you want to hear.

00:25:37.540 As a viewer, I want to see the highlights.

00:25:40.000 I want to hear from Rich Hill.

00:25:41.700 That's what I want as a viewer.

00:25:43.020 That's what I believe most viewers want when they turn to ESPN.

00:25:46.220 It's less of this.

00:25:48.700 Oh, God.

00:25:49.920 Isn't that great?

00:25:50.660 I mean, that's so great.

00:25:52.320 So now the business argument is people say, well, you can't do highlights because everybody

00:25:57.280 has seen them.

00:25:58.780 You know what?

00:26:00.480 Uh, it's, I think escape is more important to more and more people every single day.

00:26:09.760 For sure.

00:26:10.380 There's two kinds.

00:26:11.820 There's the escape that is just the empty calories of I'm just going to eat it.

00:26:18.720 I'm just going to watch it.

00:26:20.160 I know it's bad for me, but I do not want to look at the real world anymore.

00:26:25.580 That's an important escape for people as long as you don't become addicted to it.

00:26:29.060 There's times where you have to escape.

00:26:31.380 That's where ESPN comes in. 0.52

00:26:33.740 Be an escape.

00:26:35.540 I mean, geez, man, you're, you're founded.

00:26:37.920 Your company's founder came up with fantasy land.

00:26:41.400 Fantasy football, escape, let people escape.

00:26:46.960 The other kind of escape is being able to escape into a safe place.

00:26:51.840 And I don't, I don't mean a safe zone.

00:26:54.240 I mean, a safe place to where you're learning and you're empowering, but you're not being

00:26:59.960 fueled with anger and hatred.

00:27:01.740 Those two things are really important.

00:27:05.280 It's why I go see movies all the time.

00:27:08.680 Tanya said to me, I got home late last night and she said, you know, it didn't sound like

00:27:13.700 you wanted to go to a movie this weekend.

00:27:15.240 And I just wrote to her this morning and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.

00:27:18.640 I don't care if we've seen the movie a hundred times.

00:27:22.420 I just need to go and just escape, you know?

00:27:25.260 And I think that's really important when, when the industry says you don't want to watch

00:27:30.720 the clips over and over again.

00:27:32.860 Yeah.

00:27:33.440 I think I don't, again, I don't know anything about sports, but I think you do.

00:27:36.720 I think if you have people who are playing them, who are funny, who are commenting on

00:27:42.060 it, who are not getting political, who are just happy, I think people will go and watch

00:27:49.440 a clip show.

00:27:50.740 Yeah.

00:27:51.240 And there's more to it than that.

00:27:52.600 There's stories, there's backstories.

00:27:54.300 You know, I think just the focusing on the Fox News, MSNBC aspects of it is just wrong.

00:27:59.960 They had a show that they, and they, I remember them launching this when I was a kid called

00:28:03.300 Outside the Lines, which was, hey, yeah, we're here, we're inside the lines, we're talking

00:28:08.440 about sports all the time.

00:28:09.580 Here's one show to cover some of those other things.

00:28:13.100 And it was really, it was good.

00:28:14.400 Every day you'd get kind of the interesting story that was outside of like what they were

00:28:18.320 doing every day on the field or the court.

00:28:20.640 Then I think it became a daily.

00:28:22.480 Now it's like all their programming.

00:28:24.520 It's like everything they're doing all the time is talking about race issues.

00:28:29.260 And it's like, I just, it is, it is why honestly.

00:28:34.020 It is why things I think like Game of Thrones are so huge right now.

00:28:39.360 There's no tie.

00:28:41.000 There's no, nobody's preaching to you.

00:28:43.020 Nobody's telling you, you know, all the lifestyles are from the medieval days.

00:28:49.220 And there, you know, all bets are off when people can go out and eat other people and

00:28:55.000 it's okay.

00:28:55.540 Um, it, so all bets, there's no, there's no, um, there's nothing relating to today.

00:29:04.800 When you turn on television, I, I watched something, uh, with the kids we were watching,

00:29:10.180 uh, what is it?

00:29:11.960 The Good Place.

00:29:12.720 Is that the thing you told me about?

00:29:14.020 The Good Place.

00:29:15.460 Somebody had told me about this.

00:29:16.740 And so we started what I've been looking for a show that we can watch as, you know, as

00:29:19.920 a family.

00:29:20.360 And it's, um, uh, the, the main character goes to heaven, goes to the Good Place.

00:29:26.820 But she quickly finds out that there's a mistake and she should be in the bad place.

00:29:31.860 Oh boy.

00:29:32.620 And, um, you know, there's like this computer generated AI that kind of is your guide in

00:29:37.880 heaven.

00:29:38.120 And she's like, uh, Hey, can you tell me what's in the bad place?

00:29:41.700 And, and the AI says, uh, uh, no, but I can, I can play a few seconds of audio of what's

00:29:48.520 currently happening now.

00:29:50.280 And the audio just clips in, it's just screaming in flames and, you know, horrible.

00:29:54.560 Um, and she'll, she does everything she can to stay in the good place.

00:29:58.140 So the AI character yesterday, we're watching like the third episode, the AI character comes

00:30:03.820 in and, uh, and she's programmed to give interesting tips and tidbits, you know, in this particular 0.86

00:30:11.300 episode.

00:30:11.760 Yeah.

00:30:12.080 Of the, you know, of, of things that, you know, you're trying to be more relatable, more

00:30:15.340 less artificial.

00:30:17.340 And so they say something, they're trying to get somebody to go and do, be an explorer.

00:30:21.940 And you could be an explorer like Columbus, uh, just the AI, uh, just a interesting side

00:30:28.080 note because of the rapes, the murders, the genocide, uh, and the, you know, the white 0.91

00:30:34.820 power or whatever the hell, uh, he's in the bad place. 0.99

00:30:38.200 Boom.

00:30:39.600 Thank you.

00:30:40.920 Thank you for destroying my escape.

00:30:44.480 Yeah.

00:30:44.640 I, I don't want that. 0.99

00:30:45.980 I don't want you to jam crap down my throat. 0.99

00:30:52.380 I don't want it from the right and the religious right. 1.00

00:30:56.560 I don't want it from the atheist and the left.

00:30:59.540 I don't want it.

00:31:02.000 Just let me be in peace, please.

00:31:06.080 And it's so bad coming from sports guys, cause they don't study this stuff.

00:31:11.440 They're studying football, basketball, baseball.

00:31:14.340 They don't know what the hell they're talking about on these political issues. 0.99

00:31:18.540 And you have to listen to them babbling their nonsense. 0.98

00:31:20.840 And it's, it's embarrassing. 0.96

00:31:22.700 Honestly, it hurts.

00:31:24.120 It would be honestly, if we decided we were going to do a sports show and I'm on the show.

00:31:31.200 Yeah.

00:31:31.920 Yes.

00:31:32.540 And I'm talking about sports.

00:31:34.580 I have no idea.

00:31:36.440 And everyone in the audience would be like, oh, shut him up.

00:31:40.220 Well, and look, it happens on the show, right?

00:31:41.780 Like you talk about issues that are associated with sports and you have to fill in the details

00:31:46.840 of the story.

00:31:47.800 You don't know where to put the emphasis on the words.

00:31:49.960 You don't know what the words mean.

00:31:51.260 Like, I'm not even bashing you here.

00:31:52.520 Like it's not your expertise, right?

00:31:54.300 You don't, you don't know about it.

00:31:55.420 You don't care about it with these guys.

00:31:56.980 Yeah.

00:31:57.240 And they're almost always left, right?

00:31:59.340 I mean, yeah, I don't know why that is, but they're almost.

00:32:02.540 Always left of center.

00:32:04.080 I think that's because that's the default.

00:32:05.720 This goes back to, you know, Andrew Breitbart back when he was alive and his work actually

00:32:09.720 did things that were positive.

00:32:11.480 And he, but like he talked about politics being downstream from culture.

00:32:15.700 Yes.

00:32:15.920 When you don't care about these issues, you go with that flow and the flow to everybody

00:32:21.120 says, of course, you should be on this side of the argument.

00:32:24.440 You should be on the left side of the argument.

00:32:25.700 I mean, I mean, what's his face?

00:32:27.560 The guy who's on Lawrence O'Donnell talked about this years ago when he said, you know,

00:32:31.620 I'm basically a socialist, but there's a really, there's really in-depth, brilliant arguments

00:32:37.900 for the, for conservative economics.

00:32:40.180 The issue is you have to be educated and actually look at them to understand them.

00:32:44.680 So that's why we win all the time.

00:32:46.900 And it's because 90% of people will never look into these issues in any depth.

00:32:53.540 And you, you find this all the time.

00:32:55.220 I'm sure you do Glenn as well.

00:32:56.200 You talk to people and they consider themselves to be liberals.

00:32:59.320 They consider themselves to be progressives.

00:33:01.160 And you talk to them about individual issues and they don't sound like progressives at all

00:33:05.020 because they've put no thought into it.

00:33:06.880 It's just, it's like they are marinating in this culture where that is constantly said

00:33:12.300 and reinforced as the only way to go.

00:33:14.660 And, you know, it just, it makes, it makes the meat taste that way.

00:33:18.440 They've been marinating for a long time.

00:33:19.940 And that is why, and that is why those who are pushing hard, because I personally,

00:33:27.260 I think the mouse only wants to make money.

00:33:29.720 That's it.

00:33:30.540 Just make money.

00:33:31.780 ESPN, easy way to make money.

00:33:34.300 Stay out of the controversy.

00:33:35.520 It's the perfect business for us.

00:33:37.300 That's what the mouse would be thinking.

00:33:39.240 Stay out of controversy.

00:33:41.360 But there are so many people that have a deep agenda who see culture is the way.

00:33:49.140 We've got to make this Disney movie say this, this, or this.

00:33:54.180 We have to have ESPN say this, this, or this because they lead the culture.

00:33:59.100 If you lose those, if you lose those positions, those are big positions to lose.

00:34:07.600 That's why I don't think the average person at ESPN is, you know, a zealot one way or another.

00:34:15.020 They're just being told, do not ever go here, but you can go play here. 1.00

00:34:20.780 And it's becoming fascistic in nature and stupid, suicidal, business-wise, suicidal. 1.00

00:34:29.240 If those who watch ESPN will alert Disney, I'm done with you. 1.00

00:34:37.440 I know, I know you own ESPN.

00:34:41.120 I know you only care about the mouse.

00:34:45.420 I'm done.

00:35:04.840 to book a trip for themselves for business travel.

00:35:08.100 And you go back and forth and you're comparing and I, did I get the right price?

00:36:24.120 Mercury.

00:36:26.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:28.900 All right.

00:36:32.140 Bill O'Reilly is coming up next.

00:36:35.140 Bill O'Reilly is going to explain to us why Donald Trump's speech in Phoenix wasn't so

00:36:45.620 bad and justified and needed to be said.

00:36:48.920 And I can't wait to hear Bill O'Reilly's recap on the news.

00:36:57.460 Only from the mind of Bill O'Reilly.

00:37:01.620 It comes up next.

00:37:04.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:11.860 Mercury.

00:37:12.520 Bill O'Reilly has a lot to say, but so do I.

00:37:32.440 And one of the things I want to talk to him about is his new book that is out called Killing

00:37:38.880 England, The Brutal Struggle for American Independence.

00:37:42.640 I have not read much of it, but I have skipped around in it.

00:37:46.740 And it is it's an easy read.

00:37:48.600 It's a really good read.

00:37:49.760 And I know a lot about the American Revolution and George Washington.

00:37:54.440 As you know, I wrote a book on George Washington.

00:37:57.260 This is fantastic and just just tremendous.

00:38:01.100 And it's available now.

00:38:02.240 Killing England by Bill O'Reilly.

00:38:04.640 We talk to him right now.

00:38:06.440 I will make a stand.

00:38:09.860 I will raise my voice.

00:38:12.160 I will hold your hand.

00:38:14.560 Because we are one.

00:38:16.400 I will beat my drum.

00:38:18.640 I have made my choice.

00:38:20.900 We will overcome.

00:38:23.200 Because we are one.

00:38:25.260 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:38:29.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:33.560 Now, here's the great thing about America.

00:38:35.560 Bill O'Reilly and I can have fundamental disagreements on things.

00:38:40.520 And we do.

00:38:41.580 We have different look at things.

00:38:43.920 We have a different approach on things.

00:38:45.480 And a very different viewpoint on certain things.

00:38:48.340 But we are friends.

00:38:49.560 We get along.

00:38:50.560 Because we both know that what we both want in the end is a strong America.

00:38:56.620 And a country that can come together again on some basic principles.

00:39:02.160 So, as I say this now, I bring on the Antichrist himself, Bill O'Reilly.

00:39:08.660 Hello, Bill.

00:39:09.180 How are you?

00:39:10.620 I'm weeping.

00:39:11.500 I'm weeping after that introduction.

00:39:13.260 I'm sitting here in my short pants.

00:39:15.160 And I'm weeping.

00:39:15.960 Yeah.

00:39:16.740 You...

00:39:17.320 I have to correct you, though.

00:39:18.720 One thing.

00:39:19.480 Killing England will be released to the marketplace on September 19th.

00:39:24.100 Of course, I sent you an advance copy.

00:39:26.160 But you can order, pre-order on Amazon and Bill O'Reilly.com.

00:39:30.660 That's really good.

00:39:32.120 And I was lucky.

00:39:33.900 And I'm glad you referenced your George Washington book as well.

00:39:37.560 So, I have that in my house.

00:39:38.800 I'm going to reread it now.

00:39:39.740 I had read it a long time ago.

00:39:41.780 But I was lucky because this whole statue thing, which is much bigger than statue.

00:39:46.920 Yes.

00:39:47.200 Much bigger than statues.

00:39:49.040 Yes.

00:39:49.260 And I hope we're going to talk about that today.

00:39:51.200 That ties in with killing England because you are going to know exactly who George Washington,

00:39:57.440 Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin were as men and how they conducted themselves throughout

00:40:03.240 their lives.

00:40:04.080 And then you can determine whether statues of them should be pulled down.

00:40:10.140 All right.

00:40:10.940 Because they are coming for Washington and Jefferson.

00:40:14.380 I know they are.

00:40:14.900 Here in New York City, as you know, Christopher Columbus, Peter Stuyvesant is the latest.

00:40:20.700 They're running wild, they the far left.

00:40:22.980 And I mean wild.

00:40:24.600 So, there we go.

00:40:25.420 There's my opening remark.

00:40:26.400 All right.

00:40:26.680 So, Bill, let's start here on the statues because you're exactly right.

00:40:33.260 This is not about oppression and pain that these statues are calling.

00:40:39.000 If you want to have a real discussion about the Confederacy and what that was really all

00:40:46.380 about and whether, you know, Bedford, what's his name?

00:40:52.620 Nathan Bedford Forrest is a guy that we should have a statue on.

00:40:57.800 We can have that discussion.

00:40:58.840 The answer is no, but we should have that discussion on who this this guy was and who others were.

00:41:06.420 Absolutely.

00:41:07.120 But this is really about taking and tearing down the entire American story and discrediting

00:41:14.820 the entire American story.

00:41:16.780 It's even more than that.

00:41:18.780 This is about naked power.

00:41:21.360 Naked power.

00:41:22.920 So, you're seeing now the rise of the far left, you know, whatever you want to call it,

00:41:30.420 anti-far.

00:41:31.780 You're seeing them rise up because the media will not challenge anything they do.

00:41:38.980 So, we now know that there are college professors.

00:41:41.920 The latest is the guy in Clemson, in South Carolina, who's calling for violence.

00:41:46.880 The violence overthrow the country. 0.85

00:41:49.340 And if you have to burn down stores or kill cops, you go right ahead and do it.

00:41:53.060 Why is that man still working?

00:41:55.100 Why is he still working at Clemson University?

00:41:57.600 Why hasn't the press made him a front page story?

00:42:00.760 This is a college professor.

00:42:02.960 So, the far left, the antifas understand they can do whatever they want now with impunity

00:42:08.660 because the hate Trump media is 100% focused on getting President Trump out of office.

00:42:15.120 So, they're going to let everything else go.

00:42:17.600 Now, as far as your point is concerned, the far left hates the country.

00:42:21.940 That's where you have to start there.

00:42:23.080 They think America is exploitative. 0.91

00:42:25.000 It's white supremacy. 0.92

00:42:26.940 It's abused minorities ever since its inception. 0.97

00:42:31.740 And it has to be torn down.

00:42:34.600 The whole thing has to go.

00:42:36.060 Almost like Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union.

00:42:39.460 Everything has to go.

00:42:40.900 All right.

00:42:41.120 Well, the first thing that has to go is any remnants of what happened to this country

00:42:45.880 and how it evolved into what it is.

00:42:48.040 And that means history.

00:42:50.000 History has got to be revised.

00:42:52.640 Okay.

00:42:53.260 So, we'll revise it in public schools.

00:42:55.700 We're already doing that.

00:42:56.920 And now we'll tear down all the statues and demonize people with whom we disagree.

00:43:01.740 So, we're going to demonize Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, you know, historical figures that fought for the Confederacy.

00:43:08.720 That's our starting point.

00:43:10.040 But then we'll go get Columbus.

00:43:11.940 And after we get Columbus, we'll get Jefferson.

00:43:14.660 Right.

00:43:14.980 Jefferson is a slaveholder.

00:43:16.620 Okay.

00:43:16.960 And also Washington.

00:43:17.900 So, help me separate the Confederacy.

00:43:23.400 Because I personally, I don't believe that the Confederate flag is anything but a racist symbol.

00:43:31.640 I'm sorry.

00:43:32.120 I know a lot of people don't agree with that because they have been talked into that's their heritage.

00:43:36.920 But if you read the Confederate Constitution, it was not states' rights.

00:43:42.020 You had no right to join the Confederacy if you wanted to abolish slavery.

00:43:47.220 You needed to expand slavery. 0.96

00:43:49.680 So, it wasn't about the defense of our U.S. Constitution.

00:43:53.640 It was about a new constitution and defending slavery.

00:43:57.040 That's historic fact.

00:43:59.500 Now, with that being said, I am bothered.

00:44:03.740 I understand because, you know, people have to justify in their own head, you know, where my people, you know, years ago, bad people, good people, what do I come from?

00:44:16.120 That screws with people.

00:44:17.940 And so, they do want to look at it as their heritage.

00:44:22.580 And so, they have glossed over a lot of things.

00:44:25.520 But I don't have a problem teaching these guys in proper context.

00:44:30.600 I don't have a problem looking at them as all as individuals.

00:44:34.880 But all of them were traitors to the U.S. Constitution.

00:44:40.120 And all of them, in the end, were, whether they wanted to admit it or not, fighting for the evils of slavery.

00:44:48.020 Agree or disagree?

00:44:49.560 I agree on the hierarchy level, the Jefferson Davis level, okay?

00:44:55.680 But I don't agree on the troops on the ground level.

00:44:59.580 So, let me give a little, quickly, a little perspective.

00:45:04.480 About 10% of Southerners owned slaves or trapped slaves.

00:45:08.540 And a lot of them had one or two, okay?

00:45:11.100 So, 90% of the South didn't have slaves.

00:45:14.800 In the Civil War, the guys who were fighting on the side of the Confederacy were mainly between the ages of 15 and 22.

00:45:24.060 Many were illiterate.

00:45:27.440 They really didn't know much.

00:45:29.660 And they rallied to a cause that said, you have to defend Virginia.

00:45:33.840 You have to defend South Carolina.

00:45:35.500 You have to defend Alabama.

00:45:37.400 That's what the rallying cry was.

00:45:39.020 So, you give them a pass.

00:45:41.440 So, no, no, no.

00:45:42.120 So, I will, hang on.

00:45:43.780 I will agree with you on that.

00:45:45.580 I'll give you that.

00:45:47.420 This is the kind of the discussion, by the way, America should be having.

00:45:50.900 I will agree with you on that, that the average person didn't know, didn't buy into it.

00:45:55.360 It is the difference that we made between talking about Germans and Nazis.

00:46:01.240 We were not against the Germans.

00:46:03.180 We were against the Nazis.

00:46:04.740 And most people...

00:46:05.620 And German soldiers were not prosecuted after World War II.

00:46:09.900 Correct.

00:46:10.480 Those who were directly...

00:46:11.780 That's where you start.

00:46:12.340 Wait, wait, hang on just a second.

00:46:13.820 Those who were directly involved and knew what was going on, they were prosecuted.

00:46:19.520 But if you didn't know what was going on, you were not part of the atrocities.

00:46:24.800 You weren't held responsible for those atrocities.

00:46:28.660 However, Germans were very clear themselves.

00:46:34.100 We do not appreciate you holding up the Nazi flag and saying, well, yeah, but my family,

00:46:42.820 they didn't fight for the death of all the Jews.

00:46:45.680 That's a no-go zone.

00:46:47.720 We don't glorify...

00:46:49.240 In fact, it's outlawed.

00:46:50.120 Yes.

00:46:50.340 Any Nazi symbols are against the law in Germany.

00:46:52.360 Correct.

00:46:52.840 And I don't agree with that here.

00:46:54.520 But we don't need to glorify that movement.

00:46:59.880 That's a good word, glorify.

00:47:02.600 I think that's a key.

00:47:04.820 So people who are running around saying that, oh, it was a war of northern aggression,

00:47:09.780 and we were unfairly treated, that's just crazy.

00:47:15.280 In fact, Abraham Lincoln is really responsible for all of this, because Lincoln basically said,

00:47:20.600 look, war's over.

00:47:21.760 I'm not going to have war crimes trials.

00:47:23.700 I'm not going to hang Lee and all the generals.

00:47:26.220 I'm not even going to do anything to Jefferson Davis, except, you know, make him a pariah.

00:47:32.220 All right, so Lincoln, he was the guy that said, if we want to have a country, all right,

00:47:38.840 we're going to have to have reconciliation, all right, and reconstruction.

00:47:43.020 Now, he was assassinated by Booth.

00:47:45.180 He was a fanatical confederate.

00:47:47.500 And then Johnson came in and didn't know what he was doing,

00:47:50.140 and the whole thing deteriorated for decades into strife.

00:47:55.580 However, right now, what we have to deal with is that the South and Texas and parts of the Midwest

00:48:02.620 are not bad people.

00:48:04.980 Their descendants aren't bad people.

00:48:07.780 They shouldn't be demonized.

00:48:09.780 Lee conducted himself after the war in a very, very honorable way.

00:48:14.800 He's a West Point graduate.

00:48:16.440 People should know about Robert E. Lee.

00:48:18.660 His statue doesn't offend anybody.

00:48:20.920 However, the statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest in New Orleans does.

00:48:25.580 He's the start.

00:48:26.960 He started the Ku Klux Klan.

00:48:28.540 Correct.

00:48:28.860 And we can't even get...

00:48:29.700 He should be taken.

00:48:30.500 We can't get people on, you know, in the media on the uber, uber, uber right.

00:48:38.480 And I don't even go into the alt-right.

00:48:40.040 I mean, just up against that line of the alt-right.

00:48:42.980 They're still holding up William Bedford Forrest.

00:48:46.160 Or, yeah, well, it's Nathan Bedford.

00:48:47.440 I don't remember.

00:48:48.960 They do.

00:48:49.580 Nathan Bedford Forrest.

00:48:50.480 They won't even admit that he was the key that unlocked the door to the Klan, that he was skinning people alive. 0.87

00:49:01.200 He's a very different...

00:49:02.580 Why are you even talking about...

00:49:03.900 Why are you even talking about fringe groups?

00:49:06.400 See, here's the difference between the alt-right and the antifaz, all right?

00:49:10.960 But the media, all right, has demonized anybody, not only far-right people, but conservative people.

00:49:19.480 I mean, the mantra last week was, if you voted for Trump, you're a racist.

00:49:24.200 Okay? 0.76

00:49:24.680 So, the media's already done that.

00:49:26.880 On the left, you can be Joseph Stalin's first cousin... 0.78

00:49:30.260 Correct.

00:49:30.640 ...and be calling for overthrow of this government, and the media's not going to do anything to you.

00:49:35.700 Now, American people, they don't want extremism in any way, shape, or form.

00:49:39.260 And they reject both groups, all right?

00:49:41.420 And both groups' numbers are very, very low.

00:49:44.980 I said on the GoOnEarly.com podcast, I've been in the business 42 years.

00:49:50.800 Beck's been in about 65.

00:49:53.280 I've been to every city, every country.

00:49:55.300 I've never met a white supremacist, other than covering that kind of stuff.

00:49:59.720 Yes.

00:49:59.980 But never.

00:50:00.660 Yes.

00:50:00.960 Never.

00:50:01.180 I don't know any.

00:50:02.540 I've never seen any.

00:50:04.080 Yes.

00:50:05.620 So, where are they if they're taking over the world, you know?

00:50:09.080 I mean, it's just insane.

00:50:11.140 Okay.

00:50:11.740 Back with Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.

00:51:28.320 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:32.240 Look at me.

00:51:36.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:38.280 Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com is with us.

00:51:43.640 So, Bill, let me continue this conversation about the monuments here just for a bit.

00:51:48.900 We know, and I think we both agree, what we're headed for.

00:51:52.360 We're headed for a possible hot civil war if things don't calm down and simmer down because

00:52:00.960 we have people on both sides.

00:52:03.520 I'm sorry, but the alt-right is an alternate to the right.

00:52:08.460 It is not the right principles.

00:52:11.400 It is socialism and fascism.

00:52:14.120 That's not what conservatives are.

00:52:16.540 So, you have, just like you had in Germany, you have the Nazis and the communists really 0.55

00:52:22.340 going and trying to stir things up.

00:52:25.340 Every time, and Lincoln was a great example of this, every time we have entered those periods,

00:52:33.020 the way to survive is to have a third force step forward, and that is one that speaks right

00:52:41.120 directly to the people who, like you said, don't want anything to do with either one of

00:52:45.420 those sides, and can speak calm, peace, and understanding.

00:52:51.100 That's right.

00:52:51.680 How do we get there in this situation that we're in right now where, quite honestly, and 0.97

00:52:58.520 I know you and I disagree on this, both sides kind of suck at that. 0.89

00:53:03.640 And I don't mean the Nazis and the Antifa, I mean the parties. 0.99

00:53:07.020 They both suck, and the media is playing its role on both sides. 0.99

00:53:10.780 Right. 0.99

00:53:10.980 It's very hard for, I would say, 80% of Americans are persuadable.

00:53:17.640 See, that's a key word, persuadable.

00:53:19.540 If you're not persuadable, if you're just a fanatic, and no matter how many facts you

00:53:24.740 present, you're going to reject everything.

00:53:26.780 Yes.

00:53:27.080 All right, so that's 20% of the American public, 80% are persuadable, and in varying degrees.

00:53:31.340 Some are very open-minded, some are independent, some are locked into whatever.

00:53:35.420 So, you basically then have those people having to make a decision.

00:53:40.020 What kind of country do you want?

00:53:41.760 Now, it's important that they know, and a lot of them don't, because the news agencies

00:53:46.740 are so irresponsible, what's happening.

00:53:49.540 And what's happening is a concerted effort to rewrite the history of this country, that

00:53:54.320 George Washington was a bad man, okay, because he was a slaveholder, and he was a brutal guy,

00:54:00.140 and he did this, and he did that.

00:54:01.920 And the same thing with Thomas Jefferson, and the same thing with Benjamin Franklin.

00:54:04.900 We've got to get rid of them, all right?

00:54:06.360 So, we don't hold them up anymore.

00:54:07.700 Now, if you bring in Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy, both flawed men, who did

00:54:12.800 extraordinarily good things, all right, then the left don't want to hear about that.

00:54:17.520 No way.

00:54:18.860 But, getting back to Washington and Jefferson, so the population who doesn't want their 0.97

00:54:24.000 country run down and changed dramatically has to learn about the men.

00:54:29.080 And that's why I wrote Killing England.

00:54:30.760 I mean, we tell you, in the most micro way, what George Washington was really like as a

00:54:37.120 person.

00:54:37.860 And the guy, I'll give you just one, he demanded that he be called His Excellency.

00:54:44.560 Washington gave orders that he was to be addressed as His Excellency.

00:54:50.080 And, you know, that's pretty haughty for a guy.

00:54:55.880 But, every time we give you something like that, we give you how brave the man was, and

00:55:02.080 what he unbelievably accomplished, single-handedly.

00:55:06.520 And the same thing with Jefferson.

00:55:07.400 Can you give me any perspective on your, can you give me any perspective on being, insisting

00:55:11.700 on being called Your Excellency?

00:55:12.820 Because he also insisted on being called the president, which was basically like the title

00:55:17.160 of shop manager at the time.

00:55:20.360 Well, when he was a commander, when he was commanding the forces in the Continental Congress

00:55:25.760 gave him the authority, he knew right away that he had to be feared to keep the rebel army

00:55:35.660 intact.

00:55:36.260 Okay, so, so, so, so, he, this is, okay.

00:55:39.800 He had to be feared.

00:55:40.700 Right.

00:55:41.760 And this is a, a, a, a key because, I'm sorry, this is a key at the beginning because during

00:55:48.200 the war, he's like that.

00:55:49.560 But soon as the war is after that, he's not that man at all.

00:55:54.040 No, he changes into, and back into, you know, a guy who really didn't like the trappings.

00:56:02.040 He really didn't like the trappings of power. 0.95

00:56:04.200 He really didn't like the ceremonial garbage. 0.97

00:56:07.400 It wasn't him. 0.99

00:56:08.640 But he knew that he had to be respected by the rag tag rebel army, which are a bunch of 1.00

00:56:15.200 people from different states who really didn't get along.

00:56:17.820 So, he said, you're going to call me Your Excellency because then that title of respect

00:56:21.740 is going to be universal.

00:56:23.260 And then I'm going to set up gallows in our camps and anybody who runs away is going to

00:56:28.220 get hung.

00:56:28.920 I want to, I want to talk a little bit. 0.92

00:56:30.380 He wasn't playing around.

00:56:31.700 I want to talk a little bit about that.

00:56:32.860 We're going to come back and I want to talk about the gallows that he put because there's

00:56:35.840 a great chapter in your book where you talk about what is now lower Manhattan, the gallows

00:56:41.060 and him sitting on the horse.

00:56:42.480 And it's a pretty intense scene and you don't think of George Washington this way.

00:56:47.480 But I also want to ask you, do you believe in the research that you've done, do you believe

00:56:54.900 the stories that of him just being shot at, never being wounded?

00:57:02.940 He had this almost other world kind of image of the guy was absolutely invincible.

00:57:13.360 And your research, when we come back, I'd like to hear, was that reality or was that kind

00:57:19.900 of like call me Your Excellency kind of built up to make him into an invincible man?

00:57:25.360 So let's go to Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.

00:57:43.560 He's got a new book out that is well worth your time.

00:57:47.000 You'll find it on Amazon.

00:57:48.500 It comes out in a couple of weeks called Killing England, The Brutal Struggle for America's

00:57:52.280 Independence, a book that it couldn't be timed better as people are starting to come after

00:57:57.040 Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and all of the monuments, everything that we hold

00:58:03.880 dear.

00:58:04.940 Now is the time to learn it, gang, or we're going to lose it.

00:58:09.160 And personally, my view is we have to be a very unique and peculiar people in our approach.

00:58:16.980 We have to be as unique as Martin Luther King or Gandhi was.

00:58:20.580 Anger on both sides.

00:58:22.140 If you get angry and you start to have arguments, no one's going to listen to you and no one's

00:58:26.800 going to stand next to you.

00:58:29.120 We have to find a very peaceful, logical way to be able to communicate with people.

00:58:35.440 And a good way to start is planting this deep inside of your children and yourself.

00:58:40.540 Bill O'Reilly Killing England is available in bookstores in a couple of weeks.

00:58:44.280 Get it now on Amazon or BillOReilly.com.

00:58:46.060 Okay, Bill, as you're doing your research on George Washington, I find miracle after miracle

00:58:54.340 after miracle.

00:58:56.340 And I believe all of them.

00:58:59.960 You know, he comes off the battlefield and he's got a hole in his hat.

00:59:02.860 He's got two holes in his jacket.

00:59:04.920 And the men begin to look at him as absolutely invincible.

00:59:08.540 They look at him as this guy has been anointed from God to lead us because he's on the biggest

00:59:17.280 horse and the white horse and he's having horses shot out from underneath him.

00:59:22.560 But he lives.

00:59:24.460 Do you believe those stories to be true?

00:59:28.480 Yeah, they are true.

00:59:29.500 We opened Killing England with the French and Indian War of Braddock's defeat where Washington

00:59:35.240 was a member of the Virginia militia and had three horses shot out from under him.

00:59:39.880 And we tell you that that was a problem, not only because of the danger, but because Washington's

00:59:46.440 hemorrhoids were so severe that he had to ride on a pillow.

00:59:50.040 He had to put a pillow between himself and the saddle or he couldn't get on the horse.

00:59:53.980 But Washington was an amazingly brave man.

00:59:58.700 And that was very, very important because in the beginning of the war, the rebel army

01:00:06.820 was on the run.

01:00:07.900 It was on the retreat.

01:00:09.460 And it would have fallen apart if their leader had not been as strong as Washington.

01:00:13.660 Washington was the last man to be evacuated from the Battle of Long Island where the British

01:00:18.820 won and drove the rebel army upstate New York.

01:00:22.660 And they were chasing them.

01:00:23.840 And they thought, the King of England thought, that was going to be the end of the war.

01:00:28.020 Washington stayed on that beach, the last guy out.

01:00:32.260 And so, yes.

01:00:33.540 And ironically, the same thing is true with Robert E. Lee.

01:00:37.840 The Confederacy would have lost a long time ago had he not been such a powerful presence

01:00:43.220 on his horse.

01:00:45.500 Right about that in killing Lincoln, Mars, Robert.

01:00:48.760 And, you know, obviously, different causes and different times in history.

01:00:55.720 But the strength of leadership is what I think Americans need to know about.

01:01:01.780 And when you get back to the statue situation, there are going to come for Washington and

01:01:06.920 Jefferson.

01:01:07.240 And there's there's no doubt that the fanatical left is going to try to tear them down because

01:01:12.860 they're they're responsible.

01:01:14.800 Both of those men are directly responsible for the freedoms that we have today.

01:01:18.440 And the hard left hates those freedoms.

01:01:21.240 All right.

01:01:21.840 They want the government to run everything.

01:01:24.160 That's the battle.

01:01:25.180 So I want Americans and I think you do, too.

01:01:28.980 So we're we're kind of simpatico here to know about everything about.

01:01:35.140 Yeah, I want to know Washington and Jefferson.

01:01:36.840 I want to know the bad and the good.

01:01:38.380 I want to know.

01:01:39.060 Right.

01:01:39.280 So you want to know it all in totality.

01:01:41.140 You can debate it in totality.

01:01:43.320 Yeah.

01:01:43.900 All right.

01:01:44.360 So, OK.

01:01:45.560 Yeah.

01:01:46.020 He should.

01:01:46.520 You want to think I do.

01:01:47.940 I want to think I would have been John Quincy Adams against slavery from the jump.

01:01:52.040 I want to think I would have been that guy.

01:01:53.620 All right.

01:01:54.520 But I don't know.

01:01:55.760 It was a different time.

01:01:57.440 And the mores were different.

01:01:59.280 So I was having a having a conversation with somebody last night and we were talking about

01:02:03.220 this and I said and somebody said, you know, well, people have a hard time understanding

01:02:07.500 Thomas Jefferson because he compromised, yada, yada, yada.

01:02:11.540 OK, tell me what the argument is right now in Congress on both sides.

01:02:20.060 They're saying you want to get something done.

01:02:21.900 You've got to compromise.

01:02:24.160 Tell me where we are on.

01:02:26.300 I think one of the greatest evils of our day is Planned Parenthood.

01:02:30.320 Tell me where we are on that.

01:02:31.960 We're not we're not burning everything down.

01:02:35.000 And nobody thinks that's reasonable to do that.

01:02:37.940 Some do.

01:02:39.060 I don't.

01:02:40.480 We need to continue to educate people.

01:02:43.900 There's more slaves today in today's world. 0.99

01:02:46.920 I just got back from Mexico City where I did interviews with some people that I'm going

01:02:51.720 to introduce the audience to in a couple of weeks that are just breathtaking.

01:02:57.020 Two years ago, one of them was a literal chain around the neck slave, a labor slave in Mexico in 0.88

01:03:08.900 horrific conditions.

01:03:09.900 She's now named one of the top 100 most powerful people in Mexico by Forbes magazine.

01:03:17.520 And two years ago, she was a slave. 0.96

01:03:22.060 We're not a please stop talking to me about oppression when we don't really understand oppression

01:03:27.800 today to.

01:03:29.100 We say we would be these abolitionists, but there's more slavery happening today than ever

01:03:37.120 before.

01:03:38.340 And most people don't even want to look at it.

01:03:40.880 They don't want to think it.

01:03:42.500 Why?

01:03:42.820 If you're if you're not an abolitionist today for real slavery, what makes you think you

01:03:48.480 would have been any different than the worst of our founders back then?

01:03:52.420 Well, I mean, if you're going to get into the reality of today's world, then you can you

01:04:02.320 can basically make the case that the biggest threat to the world is the Islamic Jihad.

01:04:07.240 And we all know that ISIS and Al Qaeda and the Taliban have slaves.

01:04:10.780 Yep.

01:04:11.220 They enslave people.

01:04:12.440 Yep.

01:04:12.760 All right.

01:04:13.100 And we know that's happening.

01:04:14.960 But once again, the worldwide outrage against that is muted, is it not?

01:04:19.540 Yes, it is.

01:04:20.240 It is.

01:04:20.600 You know, we don't we don't hear the reportage.

01:04:23.280 Yes, ISIS is bad and they're killing everybody and the media has to report it and demonize

01:04:28.400 ISIS to some extent, but not nothing like it should be.

01:04:32.500 Yes.

01:04:32.860 And so that you're right.

01:04:34.660 I mean, Americans who are good people and who want the best for themselves, their families

01:04:39.420 and their country need to learn so they can fight back and they can they can out debate

01:04:45.460 other people and they can know when they're being lied to on television and in the newspapers.

01:04:50.900 That's really important. 0.94

01:04:52.040 You've got to know when you're being lied to because these dopey college students, they 0.96

01:04:56.080 don't know. 1.00

01:04:56.740 They walk into the classroom and here's this crazy professor telling them all kinds of garbage 1.00

01:05:00.760 that isn't true. 1.00

01:05:01.640 And they don't know.

01:05:02.780 They didn't have high school history courses that meant anything.

01:05:06.220 So they're sitting there going, oh, I didn't know my country was so bad.

01:05:09.220 I didn't know George Washington was this and that and the other thing.

01:05:11.940 And there's, you know, radical leftists sitting up there.

01:05:14.840 And are there any radical right people teaching in colleges?

01:05:18.400 Anyone?

01:05:19.460 Can I see a hand?

01:05:20.500 Bueller?

01:05:21.600 Anyone?

01:05:23.300 You can't even get a job in a college if you're just a moderate conservative.

01:05:27.880 I mean, it's so insane.

01:05:30.420 Okay.

01:05:30.860 Bill O'Reilly.

01:05:31.180 People need to now go outside the educational system, read books, listen to shows like yours

01:05:36.040 and mine to get some perspective on the coming social civil war in this country.

01:05:42.860 Well, it's already here.

01:05:43.720 It's not coming.

01:05:44.320 It's already here.

01:05:45.380 Bill O'Reilly, let me ask you.

01:05:47.080 I was going to ask you about Afghanistan, but I would rather go here.

01:05:49.920 Tell me the importance of this.

01:05:51.380 And this, you're going to love this book from Bill.

01:05:56.140 Chapter 6, New York City, New York, June 28, 1776, 11 a.m.

01:06:02.140 Soon the noose will take another life.

01:06:04.680 20,000 New Yorkers are now aware that George Washington has Sergeant Thomas Hickey's death

01:06:09.760 warrant.

01:06:10.620 Much of Manhattan has come to watch the disgraced soldier hang by the neck until dead.

01:06:14.660 Men, women, children, black and white, rich and poor. 0.82

01:06:18.160 They've all traveled to Washington's military encampment in lower Manhattan.

01:06:22.560 They came on foot, horseback, push cart, by carriage, just to indulge in colonial America's 0.91

01:06:28.080 favorite form of mass entertainment, public execution.

01:06:32.180 On this warm Friday morning, some spectators even enjoy a picnic.

01:06:35.880 Others stumble across the greenery of the common, very drunk despite the early morning hour.

01:06:40.380 Pickpockets, of which there are many, enjoy a busy and prosperous day.

01:06:43.860 These are Thomas Hickey's last moments as a terrestrial being, but there's little sympathy

01:06:49.680 for him.

01:06:51.280 What is the meaning of the story that you go on?

01:06:53.680 Really well written, by the way, Bill.

01:06:55.300 What is the meaning of the story?

01:06:57.980 Why is this important?

01:06:58.580 Hickey was an Irishman who was in the colonial army and then betrayed Washington and joined

01:07:05.200 a group that wanted to assassinate him by British spies. 0.93

01:07:09.020 So what we're getting, Mr. O'Reilly, is that all Irishmen should be hung? 0.98

01:07:14.400 Right. 0.93

01:07:17.680 So Washington had counter spies and they uncovered the plot to assassinate the general.

01:07:23.540 And Hickey was the leader of the crew and was sentenced by Washington.

01:07:27.960 No, no jury, nothing.

01:07:29.520 You know, Washington hanged by the neck until dead.

01:07:31.680 Now, there were many appeals, you know, for clemency and to, you know, trade Hickey to

01:07:36.720 the British for a captured colonial officer, nothing.

01:07:40.000 But Washington said, I got to make an example of this guy. 0.99

01:07:43.100 And so we're going to not only hang them, we're going to hang them slow. 0.99

01:07:46.320 OK, so the difference you can hang somebody fast and they die when their neck snaps almost 1.00

01:07:51.020 immediately. 0.99

01:07:51.420 You can hang them slow and they're up there five minutes kicking.

01:07:54.500 And that's what Washington and Washington himself came out and stood there while this happened.

01:08:00.520 And the message was that traitors to the cause of independence are not going to be tolerated.

01:08:07.860 That was the message.

01:08:09.200 You know, he had this optic and everybody in the colonies, believe me, knew about it.

01:08:14.520 And that was not just one isolated instance.

01:08:18.180 If you if you abandon the battlefield, Washington would have you hung or shot. 0.56

01:08:23.440 All right. 0.97

01:08:24.160 On the spot.

01:08:25.920 And that was what that's why I say it's the brutal struggle for American independence.

01:08:29.980 Right.

01:08:30.400 You know, this was not some kind of patty cake war.

01:08:33.900 People look at these will look at things like that and say, look at how mean George Washington

01:08:38.660 was and look how bad the colonial Americans were.

01:08:42.720 They went to watch this for entertainment.

01:08:45.300 This was not this was the way the world was.

01:08:48.620 I mean, the world up until America was much more Game of Thrones than anything we can relate

01:08:55.680 to now.

01:08:56.200 That was the mores of the day.

01:08:59.000 And it was a brutal existence.

01:09:02.320 Life expectancy was 40, 42, as it is in Afghanistan right now.

01:09:07.520 And people were, you know, drawn to violence.

01:09:12.660 They they it was a whole different mentality.

01:09:17.380 All right.

01:09:18.180 Right and wrong was way, way different back then when it is than it is now.

01:09:23.080 And this is what everybody has to understand.

01:09:24.760 You can't be holding people accountable for what they did 300 years ago, 200 years ago in

01:09:30.720 today's society.

01:09:31.700 You can't be tearing down every part of American history and reshaping it in your image of today.

01:09:38.120 Bill O'Reilly, the name of the book is Killing England, the Brutal Struggle for American Independence.

01:09:43.420 Great book.

01:09:44.140 Also, Bill O'Reilly dot com is where you can find Bill every day and his no spin news.

01:09:50.120 Bill O'Reilly, thanks for joining us.

01:09:51.500 Bill O'Reilly dot com.

01:09:52.500 We'll talk to you again next week.

01:09:54.360 Our sponsor this half hour is Goldline.

01:09:57.500 The Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium starts today.

01:10:02.860 This is the retreat for the central bankers.

01:10:05.280 They come from all around the world.

01:10:07.420 Analysts are paying close attention to the remarks that are going to be given by the European

01:10:11.760 Central Bank.

01:10:13.280 They're looking to end Europe's quantitative easing.

01:10:17.300 And that policy shift, if it happens, will have ripple effects here in the United States.

01:10:22.860 What does it mean?

01:10:24.260 These guys are meeting.

01:10:26.420 They are talking about our economic future.

01:10:29.840 And we're not really involved.

01:10:31.820 There are many things that could collapse this house of cards.

01:10:37.460 And I don't assign ill will to, you know, most of the people who are working in the central banks. 0.99

01:10:44.000 I find them foolish. 0.97

01:10:47.380 And I find them, quite honestly, irresponsible, many of them. 0.99

01:10:51.340 But they're the ones who are really shaping the world of tomorrow.

01:10:56.860 And make no mistake, it's being redesigned.

01:11:00.000 This time it's different, is what you will hear in symposiums like this in Jackson Hole this weekend.

01:11:05.940 It's not.

01:11:06.680 It never is.

01:11:08.460 May I suggest you call Goldline now at 866-465-3546.

01:11:13.320 866-465-3546.

01:11:17.640 Have something tangible in your hand.

01:11:20.080 As Bill said, the coming civil war, well, I shouldn't say it's coming, it's here.

01:11:25.480 It is.

01:11:26.760 A hot civil war could follow.

01:11:30.180 Global war could follow.

01:11:32.320 Economic collapse could follow.

01:11:33.980 And all of those things, while not probable, are possible in the next 90 days.

01:11:42.640 Please have your ducks in the row.

01:11:44.960 For as little as $2,500, you get three months of price protection all the way up to a year for a $25,000 investment.

01:11:50.260 Only people offering that.

01:11:51.520 Goldline.

01:11:52.040 1-866-465-3546.

01:11:54.740 866-Goldline or Goldline.com.

01:11:58.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:12:02.380 Mercury.

01:12:06.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:12:10.160 A couple things I want to hit before we have to take a break.

01:12:13.440 At the top of next hour, we're going to talk about the voting bill that was just overturned here in Texas.

01:12:21.920 We have the Attorney General of Texas on.

01:12:23.760 We'll talk to him.

01:12:24.920 Also, Hurricane Harvey, rainfalls posing a danger to New Orleans.

01:12:29.100 They are, quote, ill-prepared.

01:12:33.560 How is that possible other than corrupt and incompetent local government?

01:12:41.420 Also, try this on for size.

01:12:43.920 Bloomberg is now reporting Obamacare plans will be sold in every U.S. county next year.

01:12:50.440 Yay! 0.99

01:12:51.520 Yay! 0.99

01:12:52.040 The thing that's legally required will be sold.

01:12:55.240 So, you're legally required.

01:12:57.380 And after next year, there is one insurance company, one insurer, that has agreed to do business in every county in the U.S.

01:13:10.180 Congratulations.

01:13:10.780 All the choices and competition we'll get from this bill.

01:13:14.120 It's amazing.

01:13:15.420 By the way, it's not just a couple counties.

01:13:17.560 47% of America has only one carrier.

01:13:22.400 47% of America.

01:13:24.580 And you're saying that's bad.

01:13:25.600 But competition is going to increase, and it's going to be great.

01:13:31.200 Yeah, Obama said this.

01:13:32.860 Dating to 9 million people that you refer to that might have to change their coverage, keep in mind, out of the 300 million Americans that we're talking about, would be folks who the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office estimates, would find the deal in the exchange better.

01:13:48.460 Would be a better deal.

01:13:49.820 So, yes, they would change coverage because they've got more choice and competition.

01:13:53.140 Oh, choice and competition.

01:13:54.840 Except now, there's, by next year, there will be one insurer in each county that, quote, has agreed to cover those people in that county.

01:14:07.660 But when you have up to one choice, I mean, how do you even choose?

01:14:13.020 Wow!

01:14:13.660 I love these people who say this is a Trojan horse.

01:14:16.600 I mean, it's right there.

01:14:18.360 It's right there.

01:14:18.940 It's the road to a single-payer system.

01:14:21.520 It's right there.

01:14:22.520 The road to a single-payer system.

01:14:52.500 He works in the White House, and he's being pressured as a Jewish guy.

01:14:57.480 You've got to leave.

01:14:59.140 You've got to leave.

01:15:00.120 You have to hear his quote.

01:15:03.020 What he said yesterday is one of the best things I have read from anyone with any kind of power in a very long time.

01:15:14.360 I'll give that to you here coming up in just a second.

01:15:17.540 And also, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is on with us.

01:15:23.400 There's something happening big here in Texas.

01:15:25.820 We'll get his look on it.

01:15:27.640 And I also really want to talk to him about the statues and the controversy.

01:15:31.740 How is Texas dealing with this?

01:15:34.160 And this story.

01:15:38.000 I've got to blame my problems on somebody. 0.98

01:15:40.700 That is what is happening to our incredibly dumbed-down society. 0.86

01:15:45.720 I've got to blame it on somebody because it can't be me.

01:15:49.440 There's a university up in Canada that is now laying the blame squarely.

01:15:54.900 Your fatness on how food is marketed.

01:16:00.300 Amen.

01:16:01.060 They have reached the conclusion that marketing by the food industry makes us want delicious, not nutritious food.

01:16:09.940 Researchers claim the industry is essentially committing something akin to criminal entrapment

01:16:15.340 by making us want the food that is bad for us.

01:16:19.500 How long have I been saying it, Glenn?

01:16:20.500 How long?

01:16:20.820 I don't know.

01:16:23.440 I can't usually get...

01:16:24.960 There was a time I couldn't get close enough to hear your voice because you were so round.

01:16:29.640 But if you're poor, it's because the rich is holding you down. 1.00

01:16:35.320 If you're stupid, it's because the curriculum is too difficult and making you feel bad. 1.00

01:16:42.520 Trump can't get anything done, you know, because they won't let him. 1.00

01:16:46.860 If you're fat, it's because of the advertising.

01:16:49.580 You're just powerless.

01:16:52.340 What are we turning into, America?

01:16:54.880 What are we turning into as human beings?

01:16:56.880 If we accept this, you might as well roll up the streets of America.

01:17:02.940 Call it a day for civilization.

01:17:06.480 Because we are responsible.

01:17:10.500 We must be responsible.

01:17:12.400 We need people to stand up and accept personal responsibility.

01:17:19.480 What happens in my life may be affected by outside forces, but what I do with it is my responsibility.

01:17:27.840 I can either take it and build something great and learn great lessons and be a better man, or I can let it destroy me.

01:17:38.880 But it's my choice.

01:17:41.000 And if your media source isn't telling you those things, it is damn high time that you find a media source that will tell you those things.

01:17:50.460 I will make a stand.

01:17:54.220 I will raise my voice.

01:17:56.360 I will hold your hand.

01:17:58.800 Because we are one.

01:18:00.620 I will beat my drum.

01:18:02.860 I have made my choice.

01:18:05.100 We will overcome.

01:18:07.420 Because we are one.

01:18:09.140 One of my favorite Texans is our Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton.

01:18:26.140 He has been the Attorney General here in Texas since 2015.

01:18:29.300 He won the election as the state's top law enforcement guy, and he is a champion of the Tea Party movement, conservative principles.

01:18:43.300 I wanted him on today because Texas is under attack.

01:18:47.420 The new voter ID bill has been overturned in the Texas Supreme Court.

01:18:54.480 I think it was Supreme Court.

01:18:55.660 Was it not, Ken?

01:18:56.800 Was it Supreme Court?

01:18:57.560 No, this was a Corpus Christi district judge appointed by President Obama.

01:19:03.140 Okay.

01:19:03.700 So tell me what happened.

01:19:05.260 Tell me what people are fighting, what you're fighting for, for the state of Texas, and what happened.

01:19:12.080 So let me give you a little background.

01:19:13.560 This was passed in 2011.

01:19:15.260 I was in the legislature, actually, in the Texas House when we passed it.

01:19:18.600 The goal was to prevent fraud in elections.

01:19:21.760 I know that's a controversial topic to prevent fraud, but that's what we were trying to do.

01:19:25.660 And so we started requiring a photo ID.

01:19:28.900 We were allowed seven different photo IDs that people could use.

01:19:32.360 If you couldn't get one or you couldn't afford one, we will give you one free.

01:19:36.440 You can use all kinds of IDs, including driver's license, military IDs, concealed handgun, and then we have Texas IDs you can use.

01:19:42.840 And so we've been using that successfully.

01:19:46.360 There have been no cases that we know of where there's been discrimination in the elections.

01:19:51.260 But despite that, this judge found our law discriminatory.

01:19:56.920 And so that happened actually when Abbott was the attorney general.

01:19:59.620 So we took that up to the Fifth Circuit.

01:20:01.200 We drew a fairly liberal panel, and we lost, and we actually asked the whole court to hear it.

01:20:08.380 We ended up losing 9-6, but the court gave us a roadmap to fixing it.

01:20:12.240 They said if you'll put an affidavit in there, allow people to come in and basically swear that they couldn't get a photo ID

01:20:19.360 and that they are the person they say they are, then your photo ID laws are good.

01:20:23.560 So we did that.

01:20:24.280 The legislature passed it.

01:20:25.220 The governor signed it.

01:20:26.000 And unfortunately, this judge still said it's discriminatory.

01:20:31.300 So is it true that this judge requires a photo ID to be able to get into her courtroom?

01:20:37.460 It is true.

01:20:38.420 It's also true that the Fifth Circuit does as well.

01:20:40.560 So almost every federal courtroom you go into, you have to show photo ID.

01:20:44.680 And apparently that's not discriminatory.

01:20:46.380 Yeah.

01:20:46.740 Have you asked any of them?

01:20:48.520 I mean, I'd love to hear the answer to that one.

01:20:50.940 How is it not discriminatory?

01:20:52.500 Yeah, I guess they know.

01:20:56.300 I mean, this isn't about discrimination.

01:20:57.560 This is about fraud.

01:20:59.380 And everybody knows that that's the issue.

01:21:01.840 And if you don't have photo ID, it allows more people to vote that shouldn't be voting.

01:21:06.120 And that's the battle.

01:21:07.120 That's the true battle.

01:21:08.160 This idea of discrimination is fault because there's no evidence of it.

01:21:12.860 There was no evidence in the trial record of any discrimination.

01:21:16.280 The Justice Department under Obama came to Texas looking at advertising.

01:21:20.320 Please give us stories.

01:21:21.160 Well, they couldn't find them.

01:21:22.500 So who has standing in this case?

01:21:24.420 Why does anybody have standing?

01:21:26.400 If there's nobody who has an actual episode, who has standing?

01:21:33.040 That's a very good question.

01:21:34.560 And yet here we are with our voter ID law struck down.

01:21:37.960 So this is something we are going to appeal.

01:21:39.960 We believe that the Fifth Circuit will uphold it, given what they already told us.

01:21:44.000 And given the fact that we had the legislature change the law to satisfy them.

01:21:48.900 And look, I didn't want to change the law, but it was a relatively minor change.

01:21:52.920 And it'll still leave us with a really solid photo ID law and allow us to prevent fraud.

01:21:58.780 But again, it'll have to go back up to the Fifth Circuit to hopefully get the right result.

01:22:05.520 Ken, I don't I don't I mean, I think that wasn't really actually a that was that was an honest question.

01:22:13.800 Who has standing who is who's funding this?

01:22:17.440 Who is suing the state?

01:22:19.400 How is this how is this being brought to the front of the court every time?

01:22:22.600 It's just private plaintiffs who sue and and claim discrimination.

01:22:28.380 It's it's it's it's.

01:22:31.880 And again, you ask a great question, because if there is no actual harm, how can this be struck down?

01:22:39.400 And the other thing you need to think about, I mean, this is a duly enacted law of the Texas legislature.

01:22:43.800 I mean, this had to go through, you know, all kinds of voting and people debating.

01:22:47.740 And and we have a federal judge that just steps in and says, sorry, you can't do that.

01:22:51.740 I'm taking over, I'm taking over your legislature, basically.

01:22:55.280 So, Ken, where are we headed?

01:22:59.900 Well, I still think we're going to be successful because I think the Fifth Circuit gave us clear guidelines on the part that they were concerned about.

01:23:09.000 And we addressed that.

01:23:10.760 And if if that didn't do it, then photo ID can't exist for some reason.

01:23:15.880 So Bill and I or Bill O'Reilly and I were just having a conversation about what's happening with the statues around the country.

01:23:22.840 And we we need to have a an actual conversation there.

01:23:28.380 You know, if if you were in the hierarchy of the Confederacy, you knew exactly what was going on.

01:23:35.460 But just like we didn't have a problem with the Germans, we had a problem with the Nazis. 0.85

01:23:39.480 We didn't we didn't go and try to erase all Germans.

01:23:42.820 We did try to take the Nazis out. 0.95

01:23:46.100 And, you know, Germany went so far as to saying you can't have any German symbols, no statues of any of these guys, no matter no matter where they were. 0.88

01:23:54.380 You're a Nazi. You're a Nazi. You're out. 0.99

01:23:58.280 The Confederacy, if you read the Confederate Constitution, was not about state rights.

01:24:05.360 It was about slavery, period.

01:24:08.640 Those statues like Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was the, you know, a great general.

01:24:15.260 Yeah, he also started the Klan.

01:24:17.640 Those things need to be talked about and we need to find the right way to deal with our history.

01:24:26.060 But we are now seeing violence and people going like it's Saddam Hussein and putting nooses around necks and pulling them down.

01:24:35.920 What what what what is the state of Texas thinking about all of this?

01:24:40.600 So, you know, we haven't had a lot of controversy about it.

01:24:44.820 I know that UT took some down in the middle of the night, took some statues down.

01:24:49.660 I always think I think you've sort of hit the nail on the head.

01:24:53.100 I think discussion and debate about this is a good thing rather than necessarily doing it in the middle of the night.

01:24:58.380 And a decision made by a few people, because, again, this is our it is our history, bad or good.

01:25:05.120 And hiding it doesn't really I don't think is very effective.

01:25:08.820 I think knowing about it, understanding it and looking to the future and deciding, you know, what what was good about our history, what was bad about our history.

01:25:18.160 I think that's really the only way we can learn if we hide it and bury it.

01:25:22.400 I don't know that that really accomplishes.

01:25:24.740 It festers. It festers.

01:25:26.000 As a Texas attorney general, can you explain to those who might be listening who think that, you know, free speech is great up into a point that we have to defend the people's right to have abhorrent points of view?

01:25:49.260 It doesn't mean that they can act on all of those things, but they have a right to say things that are despicable in our in our thought.

01:25:59.100 In fact, those are the only kinds of that's the only kind of speech that ever needs protecting.

01:26:06.400 No, I know. No, no, you've got it.

01:26:08.840 I mean, that was the foundation of our country built on the First Amendment, both religious freedom and free speech, free political speech.

01:26:15.260 And, you know, if we start censoring certain people, then the question is, where does it stop?

01:26:21.020 You know, you can't go into a movie theater and yell fire and create chaos and harm to people.

01:26:28.300 But beyond that, I mean, we we fought.

01:26:31.060 We had people die to protect people's right to say really bad, horrible things.

01:26:36.180 And that's really what's made our country great.

01:26:38.420 People can believe whatever they want to believe and they can still live here.

01:26:40.880 Let me ask you this. You just said you can't go into a movie theater and cry fire.

01:26:47.160 But here's Nancy Pelosi yesterday. I want to get your opinion on this.

01:26:50.560 Service justified denying that organization their free speech rights.

01:26:55.360 Because the Constitution does not say that a person can shout, yell wolf in a crowded theater.

01:27:01.900 So we know we know you can't cry fire, but can you cry wolf in a crowded movie theater?

01:27:10.880 Well, I might argue you could, because I don't think people really believe there's a wolf.

01:27:16.020 Wolf! 0.84

01:27:16.500 Yeah, I'm going to a movie tonight.

01:27:19.460 I want you to yell wolf.

01:27:20.320 And I am going to have my wife tape it. 0.99

01:27:23.200 And I invite everybody to go into their crowded movie theater tonight and just yell wolf and see what happens.

01:27:31.380 I don't think anybody's going to beat it to the door.

01:27:34.740 Maybe it's just me.

01:27:37.100 Last question.

01:27:38.520 How's your wife?

01:27:39.080 Because I like your wife much more than I like you.

01:27:42.060 Well, that is common.

01:27:43.860 I hear that commonly.

01:27:44.920 She's doing great.

01:27:45.980 She's actually considering a run for Texas Senate in Collin and Dallas County. 0.98

01:27:51.580 Really?

01:27:52.840 She's got to come.

01:27:53.900 When is she coming to the studio and she has to bring her musical instrument? 0.92

01:27:58.400 I think she plays a guitar, right?

01:28:00.740 Yes, she plays a guitar and the piano.

01:28:02.460 Yeah.

01:28:02.940 Yeah, she'll come.

01:28:03.900 She'll be happy to come.

01:28:04.840 Yeah, no, I'd love to.

01:28:05.780 I'd love to have her because she'll probably she she hasn't announced, but she may do that next week.

01:28:10.760 So maybe that may be a good time to talk to her.

01:28:13.800 Yeah, that would be great.

01:28:14.880 That would be great.

01:28:15.420 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

01:28:17.600 Ken, thanks so much.

01:29:59.560 Gary Cohn, top White House economic official, said the Trump administration must do better

01:30:05.460 in condemning neo-Nazis and white supremacists following a violent protest in Charlottesville,

01:30:10.560 yada yada.

01:30:11.020 He is a Jewish American who was president of Goldman Sachs before becoming the head of the

01:30:15.860 White House National Economic Council.

01:30:17.420 And he has, according to the Financial Times, faced really heavy pressure to quit because

01:30:26.000 of Charlottesville.

01:30:26.820 I want to read his statement.

01:30:28.600 It is absolutely unbelievable.

01:30:31.260 This administration can and must do better in consistently and unequivocally condemning

01:30:37.160 these groups and do everything we can to heal the deep divisions that exist in our communities.

01:30:42.960 I have come under enormous pressure both to resign and to remain in my current position.

01:30:50.100 I feel compelled to voice my distress over the events of the last two weeks.

01:30:54.580 As a patriotic American, I'm reluctant to leave my post because I feel a duty to fulfill

01:31:00.120 my commitment to work on behalf of the American people.

01:31:03.200 But I also feel compelled to voice my distress over the events of the last two weeks.

01:31:07.280 Citizens standing up for equality and freedom can never be equated with white supremacists,

01:31:14.860 neo-Nazis, and the KKK. 0.72

01:31:17.420 As a Jewish American, I will not allow neo-Nazis ranting, Jews will not replace us, to cause this 0.99

01:31:26.020 Jew to leave his job. 0.98

01:31:28.500 I feel deep empathy for all those who have been targeted by these hate groups.

01:31:32.900 We must unite together against them.

01:31:35.460 I think that is tremendous.

01:31:38.900 And I think that's where most Americans are.

01:31:43.380 Let's talk about the Nazis. 0.75

01:31:45.340 Bad.

01:31:46.460 We all know that.

01:31:48.080 If you don't know that, you're a problem.

01:31:51.540 We all stand united against the Nazis.

01:31:54.720 But America also fought a longer war against the communists. 0.96

01:32:00.260 The communists, they're just as bad.

01:32:04.080 Their sins, their crimes are just not as well publicized. 0.93

01:32:09.500 But go read the big, what is it, the Black Book of Communism, where it details all of the

01:32:16.360 atrocities of communism.

01:32:19.360 They're cut from exactly the same evil cloth. 0.90

01:32:23.340 One is a national socialist, one is an international communist.

01:32:28.300 But it leads to the same kind of death camp.

01:32:32.800 We all know this.

01:32:35.920 And we all have to unequivocally and clearly denounce both sides.

01:32:43.580 The problem is, the left is playing footsie with the communists and the right plays footsie with the Nazis. 0.65

01:32:52.740 Stop it.

01:32:54.740 Denounce them clearly the first time and every time on both sides.

01:32:59.940 And then can we just go back to work and do the things that we're supposed to be doing?

01:33:05.700 I mean, don't we have?

01:33:07.020 We are not divided on this.

01:33:08.500 I just don't understand this.

01:33:10.000 We are not divided on this hate. 1.00

01:33:13.040 We are not divided on, you know, Jews must die. 1.00

01:33:17.740 No, no, uh-uh. 1.00

01:33:19.320 No, you need to sit down. 0.87

01:33:23.220 You're a problem.

01:33:24.300 And we're united on that.

01:33:28.660 And everybody who is in the media or in politics that is trying to separate us on those things,

01:33:37.440 we are against the shutting down, the burning down of campuses or, you know, businesses

01:33:45.040 because somebody wants to go speak at a university and a communist doesn't like it.

01:33:50.300 Sorry, we're against you. 0.67

01:33:52.420 You believe in black supremacy or white supremacy? 0.97

01:33:57.960 Sorry, we're against you. 0.99

01:34:00.800 If you believe in brown supremacy, white supremacy, black supremacy, 0.99

01:34:07.780 if you believe in an organization called The Race, I denounce you. 0.99

01:34:16.520 That, by the way, is called La Raza.

01:34:18.480 Supremacy of one color over another is ancient history and it belongs there. 0.98

01:34:28.320 And don't let it come crawling back out from its filth.

01:34:37.260 Shove it back into the corners where it belongs.

01:34:42.020 It belongs in that cage of hatred and away from all Americans.

01:34:48.880 We are one.

01:34:51.980 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:34:55.020 Mercury.

01:34:55.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:00.020 Well, very glad that you are here today.

01:35:03.500 Thank you.

01:35:04.600 I'm a little concerned.

01:35:05.780 I am going to the movie theater tonight.

01:35:08.500 And I hope nobody does this.

01:35:11.100 Nancy Pelosi has just come out yesterday and said another thing,

01:35:16.880 that you can't cry in a crowded movie theater.

01:35:19.480 The Clark Service justified denying that organization their free speech rights.

01:35:24.580 Because the Constitution does not say that a person can shout,

01:35:28.920 yell wolf in a crowded theater.

01:35:31.400 So you can't shout or yell wolf in a crowded theater.

01:35:34.540 Now, if I speak wolf loudly, that's almost like shouting.

01:35:39.220 Because I'm going to go to the movie tonight and my wife film it 1.00

01:35:43.740 just to see what happens, the panic that ensues.

01:35:49.240 And you can be held responsible.

01:35:50.560 I know, I know.

01:35:51.700 But I think text...

01:35:52.980 Wolf! 0.84

01:35:55.860 And I would like you to join me in this effort over the weekend.

01:36:01.960 If you go to a movie or if you're in a pact, anything,

01:36:06.400 I just want you to stand up at one point and cry wolf.

01:36:11.420 My kids are going to love this.

01:36:12.900 I want to have them all, yeah.

01:36:14.560 So just...

01:36:15.600 And please, you know, Facebook post them.

01:36:19.340 So send them to us so we can see them.

01:36:22.020 Get them to our attention.

01:36:23.660 Tweet them.

01:36:24.680 And make sure you hashtag cry wolf.

01:36:29.540 What if you go to a movie that they're like Little Red Riding Hood?

01:36:35.540 Right?

01:36:36.320 What if you go to a movie that has a threatening animal?

01:36:39.900 Well, can I just say something?

01:36:42.900 See, yelling fire in a crowded movie house is not really speech.

01:36:53.160 That's not freedom of speech.

01:36:54.980 When they say there's a limit on freedom of speech,

01:36:58.280 that's not really speech.

01:37:00.600 It's also appropriate if there is, in fact, a fire in the crowded movie theater.

01:37:04.240 But hang on just a second.

01:37:05.900 The reason why you can't do that is that is a warning.

01:37:10.700 That's not speech.

01:37:11.640 That's a warning.

01:37:12.880 Yeah.

01:37:13.060 So if you go to the wall and there happens to be a fire alarm,

01:37:18.560 you also will be arrested for pulling the fire alarm because you can't do that.

01:37:24.940 It's a warning.

01:37:25.880 It has nothing to do with speech.

01:37:27.840 Well, you just can't say anything.

01:37:29.980 You can't.

01:37:30.440 Well, no.

01:37:31.360 There's a fire alarm.

01:37:32.800 If I see the fire alarm, I can't pull that either.

01:37:36.460 It's not a speech issue.

01:37:38.720 It's a warning issue.

01:37:40.620 You can't pull a fire alarm.

01:37:44.360 Now, I don't know if you can pull the wolf alarm.

01:37:47.260 I don't know.

01:37:48.660 Only about 10% of U.S. theaters have a wolf alarm.

01:37:51.540 That's a stat that a lot of people don't know.

01:37:54.400 But it's unconscionable in 2017.

01:37:56.600 I probably listen to that.

01:37:59.260 I probably listen to that wolf warning.

01:38:01.740 You know, somebody stands up and says in a dark movie theater,

01:38:05.440 they're just like, wolf!

01:38:07.860 I probably listen to them.

01:38:10.620 I might even get up.

01:38:12.000 What if you yell, coyote!

01:38:14.580 Or fox!

01:38:16.240 No, that's totally...

01:38:17.360 Nobody's scared of that.

01:38:18.620 Nobody's scared of that.

01:38:19.580 I will say, by the way, if you happen to be watching Wonder Woman, Glenn,

01:38:23.220 this weekend, with Wolf Blitzer in the theater,

01:38:27.200 then you really can...

01:38:29.140 I don't know if it's better or worse to yell Wolf in that situation.

01:38:33.520 It seems to be more accurate, but it would be very annoying to him.

01:38:37.060 Speaking, it could be just a greeting.

01:38:40.320 Wolf! 0.84

01:38:41.280 He actually hears it all the time.

01:38:43.020 Every time he goes to a theater, people yell Wolf in the theater.

01:38:45.320 Do you have the right, in Congress, in a crowded congressional setting,

01:38:50.560 if Wolf Blitzer comes in, do I have a free speech right to say Wolf?

01:38:57.900 No, you have to say it.

01:38:58.920 See, that's going to have to take you up here.

01:39:00.300 So there's no confusion there.

01:39:01.840 What happens if you're in a crowded North Pole, you know, toy center, 0.53

01:39:07.580 and you're saying Blitzer?

01:39:09.900 Well, then that's okay, too, because the name of the...

01:39:12.560 It's Blitzen.

01:39:13.180 Yeah, the reindeer is Blitzen.

01:39:15.180 I don't speak North Pole-ian.

01:39:17.800 I don't know.

01:39:18.520 No?

01:39:18.740 I don't know.

01:39:19.660 You know, the other thing is, why is nobody talking about her fitness for office?

01:39:24.600 I mean, she has been so confused so often and said such ridiculous things,

01:39:29.380 and nobody says, hey, you know, maybe Nancy Pelosi, something's wrong there.

01:39:34.320 Because seriously, maybe something's a little bit wrong there.

01:39:38.840 Yes, you mean you're talking about...

01:39:40.400 They're calling Trump's sanity into question, but not Nancy Pelosi?

01:39:46.160 Now, one would say that if one was doing a show earlier this week and we told the history

01:39:54.400 of why we shouldn't diagnose people, that we probably shouldn't...

01:40:01.240 Right, but that was for psychiatry.

01:40:03.580 Psychiatry.

01:40:04.100 We're not psychiatrists.

01:40:04.780 Yeah, no, we are not.

01:40:05.820 Okay, all right.

01:40:07.280 Okay.

01:40:07.820 No, and it's true.

01:40:08.400 And I will say, too, Nancy Pelosi, like, you look back at those early Trump interviews

01:40:12.380 from, like, the 80s.

01:40:13.860 I mean, he's a different person.

01:40:16.400 Like, he has a different way of speaking.

01:40:18.440 He doesn't...

01:40:19.320 He doesn't do a...

01:40:19.780 He does actually have all the best words.

01:40:21.740 Yeah.

01:40:21.920 At that point, he's much more logical in the way he presents himself. 0.96

01:40:28.060 Pelosi's always been nuts, right?

01:40:29.900 I mean, I don't think there's ever been a... 0.94

01:40:32.120 There's not a conversion going on here.

01:40:33.780 Yeah, yeah. 0.96

01:40:38.180 Speaking of people who have always been nuts, James Cameron. 0.57

01:40:41.200 If I just may, James Cameron on Wonder Woman, all of the self-congratulatory back-patting 0.90

01:40:52.900 Hollywood's been doing over Wonder Woman has been so misguided.

01:40:56.660 She's an objectified icon, and she's just made male Hollywood do the same thing. 1.00

01:41:03.440 I'm not saying I didn't like the movie, but to me, it's a step backwards.

01:41:06.800 Sarah Connor was not a beauty icon. 0.91

01:41:09.080 She was strong.

01:41:10.200 She was troubled.

01:41:11.200 She was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit. 0.99

01:41:15.760 And to me, the benefit of the characters like Sarah is so obvious.

01:41:19.060 I mean, half the audience is female.

01:41:21.000 So, James, you never had her in like a tank top or her underpants, her or Sigourney Weaver,

01:41:28.660 strangely, that we didn't want to see in a tank top and underpants.

01:41:31.880 You never...

01:41:32.880 They were always fully clothed.

01:41:34.320 And by the way, if Wonder Woman is objectifying a woman, how do we feel about, I don't know, Thor?

01:41:45.320 How do we feel about...

01:41:48.320 Well, how do you feel about this show?

01:41:49.720 Captain America.

01:41:50.560 You know, I mean, the Glenn Beck program.

01:41:52.380 I mean, it's nothing but a bunch of women objectifying us all the time. 1.00

01:41:55.560 You know, I mean, that's the real reason they are here. 0.83

01:41:59.840 I will say it disgusts me.

01:42:02.120 But what am I supposed to do?

01:42:03.120 Make myself ugly?

01:42:04.500 Make myself unattractive?

01:42:05.960 It's not possible.

01:42:07.540 Whoa! 0.71

01:42:10.460 I have no way out of that.

01:42:12.280 But you're right.

01:42:14.820 Of course, people like attractive people.

01:42:16.680 Yes.

01:42:17.040 I mean, that's what the movies do.

01:42:19.320 They do it for male and female.

01:42:22.280 Please don't tell me that Mel Gibson, that Richard Gere, that, you know, even Chris, what's his name,

01:42:31.440 that plays in Galaxy, Guardian of the Galaxy?

01:42:34.940 Pratt.

01:42:35.140 Pratt.

01:42:35.540 Chris Pratt.

01:42:37.640 You're telling me that women aren't objectifying them? 1.00

01:42:41.400 Have you ever seen the Twilight series?

01:42:44.640 Taylor Lautner is mostly naked most of the time.

01:42:49.020 I know.

01:42:50.720 I mean.

01:42:51.660 It's how people feel about Jeffy.

01:42:53.980 You just have to live with it.

01:42:55.240 Yeah.

01:42:55.580 I know.

01:42:56.020 What are you going to do?

01:42:57.160 What are you going to do?

01:42:57.740 Jeffy, would you please put your shirt back on?

01:43:00.480 Please?

01:43:01.080 Making us all uncomfortable.

01:43:02.260 Fine.

01:43:03.080 I mean, he heard Wolf and he was like, I got to take off my shirt.

01:43:10.260 That's right.

01:43:10.940 I take off my shirt.

01:43:12.220 And strangely, just like the Hulk, my pants can stay on.

01:43:16.360 And the waist, the calves are all broken and ripped apart.

01:43:22.500 But my waistline stays exactly the same.

01:43:26.540 Can we utilize a somewhat annoying internet term here, which is virtue signaling?

01:43:33.000 Like, is there any chance James Cameron believes a word he just said?

01:43:36.660 Not a chance.

01:43:37.100 Like, this is him telling everyone else how enlightened he is.

01:43:41.520 It's buying a Prius, right?

01:43:42.720 No, no, no.

01:43:43.060 It's not about actually caring about the environment.

01:43:45.320 It's telling everyone that you're signaling to them that I care about the environment.

01:43:50.160 Oh, I think he actually believes it.

01:43:51.440 I think you get to a point to where you've been surrounded by sycophants and you've made so much money, etc., etc., that everybody just keeps telling you how wonderful you are. 0.99

01:44:03.660 You start buying your own crap. 0.91

01:44:04.980 Can I make a couple of points about him, too? 1.00

01:44:07.980 Since Wynne is making a woman out to be a terrible mother, a step forward for women, one of the things he brags about is that Sarah Connor was a terrible mother.

01:44:18.700 And?

01:44:19.340 That's a good thing?

01:44:21.200 Plus, is this not the guy who did Titanic and we saw Kate Winslet pose naked for a portrait?

01:44:28.660 That's not objectifying women? 1.00

01:44:30.040 No, but that was an avatar.

01:44:31.400 No, no, no, no.

01:44:31.860 But they paid for that.

01:44:33.680 They paid for that.

01:44:34.360 They all went down in the sea.

01:44:36.880 Not her.

01:44:38.040 She's the only one who didn't pay for it.

01:44:40.080 She didn't because the rest of them were objectifying her.

01:44:44.040 She made it, strangely, on a bed. 0.96

01:44:46.000 She was doing art and the rest were doing sex. 1.00

01:44:49.800 Well, she was hooking up with Leo where she left her. 0.99

01:44:52.920 She's a woman. 0.82

01:44:53.560 She can do that.

01:44:54.300 She's powerful.

01:44:55.300 So it doesn't matter that she's cheating on her fiancé or whatever. 0.75

01:44:59.080 Nope, she's a powerful woman. 1.00

01:44:59.340 And she was her fiancé oppressing her.

01:45:03.300 You saw it.

01:45:04.000 I saw it.

01:45:04.420 We all saw it.

01:45:05.940 She was oppressed.

01:45:06.640 She was a good guy, but.

01:45:08.140 Oppressed.

01:45:08.900 She seemed to be in first class and have a pretty good life. 0.97

01:45:12.820 What do you think a guy, a guy gives you the heart of the sea?

01:45:15.680 He gives you that?

01:45:16.740 He gives you a stone like that because he's not oppressing you?

01:45:20.240 Come on.

01:45:20.760 Hello.

01:45:22.140 Yeah, he expects something in return.

01:45:23.840 That's right. 0.95

01:45:24.260 Like a painting of you naked on the couch. 0.68

01:45:29.620 That's what he was looking for, I think.

01:45:31.600 I don't know.

01:45:32.560 I'm not an oppressor.

01:45:33.560 Well, this is, of course.

01:45:35.460 This is every Hollywood person with the gun thing, too.

01:45:40.620 They all sit here and whine about how bad guns are.

01:45:43.920 And then you look at all of their movies and it's nonstop guns.

01:45:46.420 And for them, it's okay because they know the truth about the evil bits.

01:45:52.340 It is the progressive.

01:45:53.640 It is really. 0.99

01:45:54.500 It's the progressive, communist, Nazi, dictator, totalitarian, religious dictator. 0.80

01:46:02.420 It's all of them.

01:46:04.020 I know better.

01:46:05.480 I can do this because I know better.

01:46:07.820 But it's the little people. 1.00

01:46:09.180 They're just too stupid and they shouldn't do this. 1.00

01:46:11.060 But it's okay for me to do it. 1.00

01:46:12.400 I got to do it.

01:46:13.180 And that's a perfect example of why it's so frustrating to connect all the nonsense in Charlottesville with the right.

01:46:18.940 If you are a conservative in the American sense, the one thing you stand up for more than anything is individual freedom.

01:46:26.240 And the idea that everybody in Washington doesn't know better than you.

01:46:30.540 You should be able to make your own choices.

01:46:32.960 You should be able to live your own lives.

01:46:35.280 You should not be controlled in every aspect of your life by the government.

01:46:38.500 We are pretty clear that Adolf really liked control of that country.

01:46:44.460 I mean, he was into it.

01:46:45.980 You think he was a big government guy?

01:46:47.320 I think he was a big government guy.

01:46:49.140 I don't remember a lot of freedoms in that particular regime.

01:46:53.420 I thought he was a libertarian Nazi.

01:46:55.560 No?

01:46:56.080 Hang on just a second.

01:46:57.440 Hang on just a second.

01:46:58.720 Hang on just a second.

01:47:00.560 Okay.

01:47:01.060 Yes.

01:47:01.820 One of the first things he did was make universal health care.

01:47:06.300 Okay.

01:47:06.520 Yes.

01:47:06.820 Sure.

01:47:07.220 He did do that.

01:47:08.340 And they support that as well.

01:47:10.240 Right.

01:47:10.480 But a big government guy?

01:47:13.940 I know it's a weird thing to think about, but yes.

01:47:18.440 Because I often think of Adolf Hitler as a guy who wanted the government so small that the people had power over it. 0.52

01:47:29.520 No, I thought of it as more of a, he wanted the government so big that when people didn't raise their arm to salute them, he murdered them.

01:47:39.400 And no one got punished because it was actually advocated.

01:47:41.840 I could see the way you interpret all of the films and evidence in that way, but I'm feeling a little oppressed by your point of view on this.

01:47:54.280 Oh, no.

01:47:54.600 I'm sorry.

01:47:54.960 Yes.

01:47:55.740 I'm sorry. 0.87

01:47:56.460 Racist. 0.75

01:48:49.720 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:48:51.560 We asked for prayers for the people in the Gulf region who guess the hurricane is starting to come ashore.

01:49:00.420 It looks like it's coming ashore now in Corpus Christi, Texas.

01:49:03.660 It's at the seawall.

01:49:05.280 Could be bad, especially if it goes back out into the Gulf, which they're expecting.

01:49:11.620 And then it could hit Galveston.

01:49:13.400 Could hit New Orleans.

01:49:14.940 New Orleans is not...

01:49:16.560 Bounce along the coast.

01:49:17.440 That'll get ugly.

01:49:18.160 You know what the most dangerous city in America is now besides New Orleans?

01:49:23.280 I've been reading about.

01:49:24.060 Tampa, Florida.

01:49:25.520 Wow.

01:49:25.960 They say that Tampa, Florida, if it is ever hit with a direct hit on the hurricane, which is hard for the hurricane to come in and make that circle.

01:49:34.900 But if it does, they say it will be a devastating, devastating hurricane.

01:49:41.760 I don't disagree with that.

01:49:42.920 I'm surprised it's dangerous now after Jeffy left.

01:49:45.340 I always thought it was the most dangerous city when we even lived there.

01:49:47.080 Well, when he was there, when he was there, you know, it pushed that whole western seaside up.

01:49:55.720 It pushed it down there in Florida. 0.59

01:49:57.900 It almost capsized.

01:50:00.440 Capsized.

01:50:01.240 Well, it wasn't that Florida was held on by the entire continent.

01:50:05.420 Right.

01:50:05.820 The whole thing would have flipped.

01:50:07.120 All of Florida would have flipped. 0.72

01:50:08.260 Oh, you're going to hang Johnson on that immediately.

01:50:10.160 Isn't that funny?

01:50:10.720 It is kind of funny.

01:50:11.680 Because what we're saying, I guess the joke there, Pat, is that Jeffy's... 0.77

01:50:14.840 He's fat, I think. 0.57

01:50:16.100 Overweight. 0.91

01:50:16.820 Oh.

01:50:17.200 Is what we were going to say.

01:50:17.680 Wow, overweight. 0.85

01:50:18.680 I thought he was just fat. 0.74

01:50:19.680 Yeah, he is. 0.54

01:50:20.620 He is.

01:50:21.180 Yeah.

01:50:21.520 But you're going to see all weekend claims from the Al Gore's of the world showing how this hurricane, after 12 years with no hurricanes, proves him right. 0.93

01:50:31.880 So ridiculous. 0.70

01:50:33.020 And you know you'll hear that. 0.99

01:50:34.140 Oh, of course.

01:50:35.060 I mean, sure, it's already started.

01:50:36.580 There's going to be more frequent and more intense hurricanes.

01:50:41.700 And we've seen just exactly the opposite.

01:50:43.940 Exactly the opposite.

01:50:44.860 Record-setting period of a lack of hurricanes.

01:50:47.660 Yep.

01:50:47.900 So there hasn't been one since 2005, a major hurricane.

01:50:51.100 And so...

01:50:51.600 There's barely been any non-major hurricanes.

01:50:53.400 Yeah.

01:50:53.720 I mean, there really hasn't.

01:50:54.560 Even Hurricane Sandy, which was a hurricane at one point, was not one that actually made landfall, which is kind of an important part of that story, which is why they kept calling it Superstorm.

01:51:02.840 They're like, oh, it's a super storm.

01:51:06.900 Well, look, there was a lot of flooding.

01:51:08.120 And that's the real danger here.

01:51:09.520 I mean, there's going to be obviously high winds, but the flooding looks like it could be really, really bad.

01:51:15.680 So if you're in the path...

01:51:16.800 Aren't they saying 36 inches of rain in the next...

01:51:19.700 Some areas, yeah.

01:51:20.660 Possible, yeah.

01:51:21.480 36 inches of rain.

01:51:23.600 Yeah.

01:51:24.200 On my Facebook page, by the way, Glenn, is the disproving of Al Gore's claim from his movie about hurricanes.

01:51:30.220 So as you're hearing this this weekend, it might be a fun view and maybe a share.

01:51:34.280 And I believe I've posted it on Glenn Beck at Facebook.com slash Glenn Beck and at Glenn Beck.com as well.

01:51:41.640 So make sure you share that with some friends as the media goes crazy on global warming.

01:51:48.460 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
