Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:07.640 Hello, America.
00:00:09.580 There is desperate need for perspective in this country,
00:00:14.680 so I think maybe we'll give some.
00:00:16.840 First of all, black MMA fighter, his name is Derek Lewis.
00:00:22.560 He went out and he was saving Houston flood victims,
00:00:26.440 including a man who insisted on saving his Confederate flag.
00:00:33.120 Okay, a couple things here.
00:00:35.460 Here's a black MMA fighter.
00:00:37.740 He saves that guy.
00:00:40.020 He's not asking him any questions.
00:00:43.240 He's saving the guy because that's what Americans do.
00:00:46.680 Second of all, a little perspective, dude.
00:00:49.460 It's a flag.
00:00:51.060 I mean, if it was Robert E. Lee's flag, his actual flag,
00:00:54.780 maybe I can understand it.
00:00:56.880 But if it's the one you had hanging in the window of your house,
00:01:00.380 then probably, probably, probably you should let the flag go.
00:01:04.240 I'm just saying, a little perspective.
00:01:06.140 And speaking of letting things go.
00:01:09.720 And I know this is a rhetorical question because I know the answer.
00:01:12.360 Is the media, is their life really this shallow?
00:01:16.260 You've seen the uproar started by Politico on Melania Trump
00:01:21.160 wearing five-inch stiletto heels.
00:01:23.960 Okay, first of all, let me just say this.
00:01:26.640 I've been around women all my life and I don't understand the whole heel thing.
00:01:30.240 Because to me, all you ever hear is, I can't wait to take these shoes off.
00:01:38.680 Okay, all right.
00:01:40.840 Sure, they look nice.
00:01:42.460 But I'm having to listen to you all night talk about how much your feet hurt.
00:01:47.320 I don't get it.
00:01:49.060 But she's wearing five-inch stiletto heels.
00:01:51.280 Now, here's the headline that I would write.
00:01:53.660 Look at Melania Trump walking through the grass in five-inch stiletto heels
00:02:00.160 at the White House lawn going to the helicopter and she doesn't get stuck.
00:02:07.720 She doesn't lose a shit.
00:02:09.340 How is that even possible?
00:02:10.340 I mean, I've been around all the wrong women, I think.
00:02:14.100 Because I didn't even think that was possible.
00:02:16.900 But what does the media say?
00:02:19.140 Look at how inappropriate she was when she went down to Corpus Christi in Galveston.
00:02:25.360 Does anybody really think that the president was going to get his, you know, shoes or his pant legs wet?
00:02:36.980 Does anybody think that the president was going to go on a rescue boat and Melania Trump was going to do that?
00:02:42.960 Does anybody even think, I mean, you could make the case that the president shouldn't have gone
00:02:48.500 if it hurt the rescue efforts, but it didn't because he didn't go anywhere near Houston, for the love of Pete.
00:02:53.800 But, media, get over yourself.
00:03:00.340 Get a grip and get some perspective.
00:03:04.740 My gosh, let it go.
00:03:07.400 We begin there right now.
00:03:09.480 I will make a stand.
00:03:12.100 I will raise my voice.
00:03:14.380 I will hold your hand.
00:03:16.800 Because we are one.
00:03:18.640 I will beat my drum.
00:03:20.840 I have made my choice.
00:03:22.840 We will overcome.
00:03:25.340 Because we are one.
00:03:27.240 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:03:31.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:37.220 So let me give you an update.
00:03:38.700 There's some really amazing things that are going on.
00:03:41.940 The Texas teenagers that have saved over 50 people in a small fishing boat.
00:03:50.400 The mattress shop owner that has thrown his store open to 400 victims of Hurricane Harvey.
00:03:56.900 He's just like, you know what?
00:03:58.160 You need a place to stay here.
00:03:59.380 Just stay at my mattress store.
00:04:00.900 On a personal note, I just got a note from Mercury One.
00:04:07.860 And I don't even know if I'm supposed to mention this.
00:04:11.000 I know the people who run my Patriot Supply.
00:04:14.640 So they're not the people that like it when I mention things like this.
00:04:17.400 But I think you should know.
00:04:18.200 They've donated yesterday 1,000 cases of two-week emergency food supplies.
00:04:26.360 And they're also supplying 2,500 water filtration units to be deployed in Houston.
00:04:34.220 Those things are what?
00:04:35.780 $200 a piece?
00:04:37.020 And this is the kind of stuff that you could actually take that flood water and purify it and drink it.
00:04:43.720 We've had people...
00:04:45.120 Right out of the streets.
00:04:45.820 Like literally right out of the street.
00:04:47.340 These are the emergency things.
00:04:49.020 You know, people don't realize how when water goes bad, you die.
00:04:55.080 And, you know, that was I think the number two killer.
00:04:59.400 Maybe number one up until about 150 years ago.
00:05:02.720 And that was water supply.
00:05:05.380 You would, you know, somebody would be pooping or peeing or dying in the water, you know, up the river.
00:05:11.820 And then you would drink it and your water was tainted and people died all the time.
00:05:17.520 Cholera.
00:05:19.100 This water is going to be such a problem.
00:05:23.440 And, Pat, you know, I lived in Houston.
00:05:25.840 You lived in Houston.
00:05:27.560 It is...
00:05:28.400 This is going to be a nightmare for a long time.
00:05:31.160 Because once the water recedes, Houston never dries out.
00:05:36.040 Never.
00:05:37.320 It is...
00:05:38.020 It's the only place I've ever lived that has something called super saturation.
00:05:41.440 Where somehow or another, it's like the water has a humidity...
00:05:45.360 I mean, the air has a humidity over 100%.
00:05:47.580 I don't even know how that's possible.
00:05:48.980 But it's super saturated air.
00:05:54.200 And you can...
00:05:54.920 Walking out in Houston a lot of the times of the year is like you're drowning.
00:05:59.580 It's like you're drinking a glass of air.
00:06:03.680 And it'll never dry.
00:06:05.800 How that...
00:06:07.480 You're drinking a glass of air.
00:06:08.640 You couldn't put a...
00:06:09.480 Jeff, he's trying to do the math on that one.
00:06:11.080 You see, a glass of air would be a lot of water in that air.
00:06:15.740 But anyway, that city is never going to dry out.
00:06:20.720 How does...
00:06:23.080 How do they stop the black mold?
00:06:26.360 Yeah, that was a huge problem after Allison.
00:06:28.920 And it's going to be a much bigger one now.
00:06:30.980 Gosh, this is just...
00:06:32.260 I don't know.
00:06:32.800 There's thousands of homes underwater.
00:06:35.220 I mean...
00:06:35.460 Oh, and it's never going to go away.
00:06:36.860 I mean, how many neighborhoods and how many buildings are going to need...
00:06:41.040 Remember the building...
00:06:42.260 You're going to have to gut a lot of places.
00:06:43.980 Yes.
00:06:44.160 Oh, no.
00:06:44.860 You remember...
00:06:45.480 Turn them down.
00:06:45.940 You remember the building next door to the World Trade Center?
00:06:50.400 It was a big, huge brick building, maybe 20 stories tall.
00:06:54.860 It was an old one.
00:06:56.520 It was the last one to be torn down.
00:06:58.940 You guys remember this?
00:07:00.240 And they had to seal it in plastic and take it apart by hand.
00:07:06.860 Because it had so much black mold in it.
00:07:09.820 I don't remember what happened.
00:07:10.900 Maybe the fire alarms tripped or something.
00:07:13.680 And the water...
00:07:14.380 The building was drenched in water.
00:07:17.060 Black mold started to grow in it.
00:07:19.060 It became one of the most hazardous buildings in the Western Hemisphere.
00:07:23.760 And it was right next to the World Trade Center.
00:07:26.400 And they didn't know what to do.
00:07:27.940 You couldn't implode it.
00:07:29.200 You couldn't...
00:07:30.040 They had to take it apart in spacesuits by hand.
00:07:34.580 What is the city of Houston going to be like after this?
00:07:40.500 Yeah, they said the average hurricane that's category 3 or 4 costs about $4 billion.
00:07:46.440 The first estimate of this is $42 billion.
00:07:50.000 So over 10 times the average hurricane that hits.
00:07:54.640 That's going to be...
00:07:55.720 It's going to be messy.
00:07:57.080 It's going to be really...
00:07:58.000 And not to mention, I mean, it's not like it's going to stop raining.
00:08:00.340 I mean, like, you know, at some point they're going to start getting more rain again.
00:08:04.980 And it's...
00:08:05.740 They're going to have to deal with...
00:08:07.140 I mean, when you have a situation like this and it just starts raining again.
00:08:10.320 How do you go back when you're dealing with a city of...
00:08:13.200 What's the whole metro, Pat?
00:08:14.300 Is it 7 million, the whole metro?
00:08:15.840 Close to 7 million.
00:08:16.580 Okay, so 7 million people.
00:08:19.100 How many of the 7 million are actually affected in their homes?
00:08:23.640 Do we have an estimate of that?
00:08:25.280 I haven't seen one.
00:08:26.140 Okay, I heard it was a million homes.
00:08:30.180 So I don't know if that's true, but a million homes.
00:08:33.480 How many businesses are actually affected?
00:08:35.620 Let's see if we can get somebody in the research department to look this up this morning.
00:08:39.140 But how many homes are actually affected?
00:08:42.240 How many businesses are actually affected?
00:08:44.720 How do those people go back to work?
00:08:46.780 How do those people live?
00:08:48.860 How do those companies open their doors?
00:08:50.560 And by the way, America's largest oil refinery just shut down yesterday.
00:08:59.160 That now is 20% of all gasoline is now offline.
00:09:06.920 Those wishing for the oil industry to be hard hit in this crisis.
00:09:11.900 And who was that the other day?
00:09:13.160 The Young Turks guy, I think.
00:09:14.740 Yeah, the Young Turks guy.
00:09:15.760 Okay, well, congratulations.
00:09:18.160 Your gas prices are going to go way up.
00:09:20.680 And they're already starting to.
00:09:21.900 Yeah, here in Texas, they're expecting by, what, I think tomorrow, they're expecting it to be $3 a gallon.
00:09:27.940 It was $2.20.
00:09:28.880 It was already up $0.19.20 this morning, last night.
00:09:32.340 Yeah.
00:09:32.500 So, they're thinking in Texas, it'll be up $3 a gallon.
00:09:38.660 So, you know, this is going to affect the entire country.
00:09:43.300 You can't take 20% of the gasoline offline.
00:09:46.920 And gasoline goes, I don't know if the Young Turks have done the math,
00:09:51.440 but the food that's delivered to your grocery store comes in a big truck.
00:09:55.480 Or it comes on a train, and that choo-choo doesn't use coal.
00:10:01.700 It uses diesel, which is made out of oil, which is made in a refinery.
00:10:08.900 Congratulations, Young Turks.
00:10:10.600 You're getting exactly what you hoped for.
00:10:12.920 Now, in the next few days, once we get past all of this,
00:10:16.760 I'm going to spend some time with you on the ramifications of this hurricane.
00:10:23.900 This is much larger than Katrina.
00:10:28.240 This is the largest, most impactful hurricane in history.
00:10:38.500 As you're looking at this, I want you to understand the downstream, if you will,
00:10:45.620 that will impact not only you, but I can guarantee you Vladimir Putin
00:10:51.140 is getting a briefing every day on what is happening in Houston.
00:10:56.980 And not because it's some evil, sinister plot or anything else,
00:11:00.440 but because Vladimir Putin's country was geared for $100 a barrel of oil.
00:11:09.540 When it went down to $50, they were saying,
00:11:12.080 oh, well, they can make it with $80 a barrel,
00:11:14.380 but they've got to get the price of the barrel of oil up.
00:11:17.660 Otherwise, their economy will collapse.
00:11:20.840 We're the opposite of Russia.
00:11:23.820 The lower the cost of oil, the better our system runs.
00:11:29.120 The higher the cost of oil, once we get over $100,
00:11:33.480 our economy, the way we've structured our house loans and our credit cards
00:11:38.760 and our car loans, everything else,
00:11:40.320 once it's over $100 a barrel, it starts to hurt the U.S.
00:11:47.000 A sustained $120, $130 a barrel collapses our economy.
00:11:53.520 That's why 2008 happened.
00:11:56.480 We had all kinds of stuff that required everything to remain exactly the same
00:12:01.120 and nothing to go wrong.
00:12:02.740 Well, as soon as gas prices started to creep up,
00:12:05.740 we couldn't handle it.
00:12:06.760 But Russia's the opposite.
00:12:09.500 When gas prices go down and they're hovering around $50,
00:12:12.920 they become desperate and unstable.
00:12:16.940 Because we've closed the refineries,
00:12:20.060 they're still producing the oil.
00:12:23.360 But we've taken 20% of the refinement of that oil offline.
00:12:28.580 So what happens?
00:12:29.620 All of the barrels that we are purchasing now begin to back up.
00:12:33.940 Now they're going to sit on ships somewhere in the Gulf or off coasts,
00:12:38.880 and they're going to sit there until there is an opening for that oil
00:12:43.660 to get into a refinery or into an oil reserve.
00:12:46.960 That oil reserve, that's going to be a glut,
00:12:49.900 which means the price of oil will plummet,
00:12:53.800 which means people in the Middle East and in Russia will become more desperate.
00:12:59.200 Because of this hurricane,
00:13:03.660 you will see over the next few days as we start to line this up,
00:13:07.420 and I hope to be able to really give you some in-depth analysis on this beginning next week,
00:13:12.980 you will see the ramifications of what is happening in Texas
00:13:18.620 will not only affect you,
00:13:21.360 but affect freedom,
00:13:23.520 literal freedom,
00:13:24.780 all around the world.
00:13:25.820 We're interconnected now.
00:13:30.540 Everything relies on everything else,
00:13:34.180 and we rely on one another.
00:13:37.800 The good news is,
00:13:39.860 I have some real evidence that Americans,
00:13:43.840 forget about the companies and the politicians and everything else,
00:13:46.860 Americans have not lost their soul.
00:13:50.760 Americans are still the people we grew up believing we were.
00:13:54.900 We'll give you more on that coming up in just a second.
00:13:57.600 Our sponsor this half hour is LifeLock.
00:13:59.800 There is a malicious malware called Sonic Spy.
00:14:03.800 It has now been found in over a thousand apps of a popular mobile operating system.
00:14:09.020 So, a thousand applications,
00:14:12.040 very popular operating system.
00:14:14.020 In this app or one of these apps,
00:14:17.920 hidden, buried inside,
00:14:20.080 is spyware that records your calls,
00:14:23.180 can hijack your phone's camera to take photos.
00:14:27.460 Where do you keep your camera at night?
00:14:29.040 Do you have that just perched up next to your bed?
00:14:32.340 Because I'm sure there's nothing that ever happens in your bedroom.
00:14:35.160 Anyway, it tracks your whereabouts,
00:14:37.360 and it can steal all your contacts.
00:14:39.860 This is the kind of stuff that is happening without us even being aware.
00:14:44.980 Worse, criminals can make phone calls and send text messages to try to steal your money.
00:14:50.620 Someone's identity is stolen every two seconds,
00:14:53.860 and there is a wide range of identity thefts.
00:14:56.820 And if there is a problem with your identity,
00:14:59.380 LifeLock will find it,
00:15:01.060 they will isolate it,
00:15:03.380 and a U.S.-based identity restoration specialist is going to work to fix it.
00:15:08.700 Nobody can prevent all identity thefts or monitor all transactions,
00:15:11.600 but LifeLock can uncover the threats that you might miss.

00:15:33.380 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:34.700 Mercury.
00:15:39.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:43.600 So there is some good news.
00:15:46.940 Yesterday, just in the last 24 hours,
00:15:52.220 you have stepped to the plate in an unbelievable way.
00:15:56.400 Over $500,000 was raised just on yesterday's program,
00:16:00.020 and we can't thank you enough for that.
00:16:01.920 This is going to be something that goes for a very, very, very long time,
00:16:07.600 and I think it is going to have a chain reaction that you're going to probably feel in your community.
00:16:17.860 And I am humbled by what you have already done and how many people are just giving like $5.
00:16:32.340 Yesterday, I got an email.
00:16:35.720 I mean, people, and we're going to talk to Jason, who was down yesterday in Houston.
00:16:41.500 He said he could not believe the number of people who were driving their own personal cars
00:16:46.440 and bringing their boats from all over the country.
00:16:49.980 And he said they were just leaving their car.
00:16:53.800 And as they were leaving, they were like, buy car.
00:16:56.700 They just knew they were never going to see their car again.
00:16:59.200 And Jason almost got stuck a couple of times because they're driving around,
00:17:06.240 and they're trying to find a place to launch the boats.
00:17:08.560 But the water is coming in so fast that the cars are, you know,
00:17:14.220 when they drive down a street, if they can't launch it there,
00:17:16.720 by the time they were turning around to try to get out the same way, they were blocked.
00:17:21.220 I mean, they almost got trapped yesterday, just, you know, they didn't have a boat.
00:17:28.140 They were following the guys who had the boat.
00:17:30.980 At one point, they got separated.
00:17:32.860 They're like, we're going to be asking them to rescue us.
00:17:37.240 Right.
00:17:37.980 We need more boats.
00:17:40.660 And we also need your help on communication devices,
00:17:49.160 because the satellite phones that we dispatched yesterday,
00:17:54.620 unfortunately not waterproof.
00:17:57.040 And so we're losing a lot of satellite phones.
00:17:59.500 The communication devices are going down.
00:18:02.200 We really need your support to be able just to communicate.
00:18:06.900 This is a long way from being over.
00:18:10.820 You have to remember, the waters were receding with Katrina really quickly.
00:18:17.440 And you were able to go, by this time, they were going door to door,
00:18:23.400 and they were spray painting X's and numbers on doors of how many people were dead in those homes.
00:18:28.980 We're not even there yet.
00:18:31.560 And this is a long, long way from being over,
00:18:35.080 and we really need your support at mercuryone.org.
00:18:38.180 We are trying to be as transparent as we possibly can be,
00:18:43.180 so you know exactly where the money is.
00:18:44.960 I'll give you an update on what was happening yesterday.
00:18:48.500 But we have, I think it's Project Barbecue yesterday,
00:18:53.280 finally was able to get to the location,
00:19:00.140 which is the convention center.
00:19:01.020 George R. Brown Convention Center.
00:19:02.380 The convention center, they're the ones that are going to be supplying 25,000 meals a day.
00:19:08.360 Last night, they finally were able to fire things up.
00:19:11.100 I think they served only 2,500 last night.
00:19:14.200 They'll be up to 10,000 or 15,000 by today,
00:19:17.060 and by tomorrow they'll be at 25,000 meals.
00:19:19.960 And in a real moment of graciousness,
00:19:21.960 we have offered when they're done, they can come back and stage here.
00:19:25.720 Any barbecue facility, actually,
00:19:27.740 that wants to come and stage themselves here
00:19:29.800 is welcome at any time.
00:19:31.740 But there's no one to rescue here.
00:19:32.560 There's plenty of room in the parking lot to stay.
00:19:33.780 There is room. Thank you, Jeffrey.
00:19:35.340 Lots of room.
00:19:36.180 So, you know, that, just think of this.
00:19:38.980 This is all donations.
00:19:40.580 Think of the amount of beef you need and pork.
00:19:46.440 I mean, thank God we're in Texas.
00:19:49.220 Think of the amount of food for 25,000 people,
00:19:52.980 breakfast, lunch, and dinner at that one location.
00:19:56.540 If you can help us, five bucks makes a world of difference.
00:20:01.360 Go to mercuryone.org.
00:20:03.880 Mercuryone.org.
00:20:05.940 Back in a minute.
00:20:12.000 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:16.480 Mercury.
00:20:19.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:21.220 Authorities.
00:20:26.580 Grace yourself for this.
00:20:27.780 In Beaumont, Texas,
00:20:29.460 authorities found a shivering toddler
00:20:33.020 clinging to the body of her drowned mother
00:20:36.520 in a canal in southeast Texas
00:20:40.020 after the woman tried to carry her child to safety
00:20:43.440 from the floods.
00:20:45.160 A witness saw the woman take her 18-month-old daughter
00:20:50.060 and tried to walk to safety
00:20:52.500 when the current of the flooded drainage canal
00:20:56.220 next to the parking lot swept both of them away.
00:21:00.140 The child was holding on to the floating woman
00:21:02.420 when police and fire rescue team in the boat
00:21:04.620 caught up with him about a half mile downstream.
00:21:08.000 When you hear stories like that,
00:21:17.280 it makes stories about politics grotesque, doesn't it?
00:21:28.560 We have such a great opportunity right now
00:21:34.140 to put into perspective
00:21:35.760 our life
00:21:38.540 and what's worth fighting for,
00:21:43.700 what's worth standing up for.
00:21:47.520 And I will tell you that
00:21:49.460 if it doesn't involve
00:21:52.540 your children and your family,
00:21:54.720 it's just not worth your time.
00:21:56.260 I think that's one of the grinds
00:22:00.240 that we have right now that we feel.
00:22:04.580 It's not just political strife.
00:22:07.980 It is the chaos,
00:22:11.200 the grind of everything changing
00:22:14.780 and you not knowing what to count on anymore.
00:22:17.920 You not knowing,
00:22:19.660 there's no one to help sort things through anymore.
00:22:22.860 There's nothing we even know to be true
00:22:28.760 until we have something like this.
00:22:32.380 I hate to say it this way
00:22:35.880 because it'll be misinterpreted,
00:22:38.880 but a miracle is nothing more
00:22:42.880 than a change of perspective.
00:22:44.600 And I am so happy to see
00:22:50.920 there are so many Americans
00:22:52.920 that are looking
00:22:54.040 at the chance to serve
00:22:58.580 and that are having a change of perspective
00:23:02.000 and going,
00:23:03.380 ick, I don't want to be those people anymore.
00:23:08.060 This is where I need to be.
00:23:10.020 This is what's important.
00:23:11.540 When you see the number,
00:23:15.680 the sheer number of people,
00:23:19.460 it'd be interesting to see
00:23:21.240 if there's any kind of study
00:23:22.880 that's being done at all in Texas
00:23:25.820 of what this hurricane is costing
00:23:30.060 the businesses in the state of Texas,
00:23:34.540 outside of the affected area,
00:23:38.040 in manpower.
00:23:38.960 How many companies,
00:23:42.400 I know ours is,
00:23:44.800 how many companies are sacrificing people
00:23:48.060 and resources
00:23:49.560 and sending them down to Houston?
00:23:54.280 We are,
00:23:55.080 we're having a drop-off point
00:23:56.580 for our neighbors,
00:23:57.680 you know,
00:23:58.100 here at the studio lot.
00:23:59.960 People can come in
00:24:01.120 and bring water and food
00:24:02.520 or, you know,
00:24:03.360 not food,
00:24:04.040 but I'll give the list.
00:24:05.840 I think it's up at glenbeck.com.
00:24:07.020 But we're asking people
00:24:09.020 to come and bring the baby diapers
00:24:10.360 and everything else.
00:24:12.420 It's because the staff,
00:24:14.140 so many members of the staff
00:24:15.320 are just like,
00:24:15.920 I'm,
00:24:16.420 on Friday,
00:24:16.880 I'm going down.
00:24:17.720 I'm going to help.
00:24:19.440 And we need to deliver stuff.
00:24:21.720 And so this is just something
00:24:22.840 that they've put on themselves.
00:24:24.980 How many are doing that?
00:24:26.160 How many people are just saying,
00:24:27.520 I've got a boat,
00:24:28.260 I'm going down.
00:24:29.000 When you go down
00:24:30.780 and you see
00:24:31.620 the sheer number
00:24:33.060 of people,
00:24:36.380 do you see the video
00:24:37.820 yesterday
00:24:38.540 of the,
00:24:39.660 the Houstonians
00:24:41.460 making the human chain
00:24:42.720 to get the woman
00:24:44.660 who was in labor
00:24:46.360 and having a baby,
00:24:49.240 getting her to
00:24:50.900 safety?
00:24:53.600 Do we have the video
00:24:54.820 by any chance?
00:24:55.860 Oh,
00:24:56.040 there it is,
00:24:56.560 right there.
00:24:56.960 So if you happen
00:24:59.440 to be watching
00:25:00.100 the,
00:25:01.240 the broadcast
00:25:03.240 on the Blaze,
00:25:04.940 you'll see
00:25:06.700 they're making
00:25:07.200 a,
00:25:07.540 a human chain.
00:25:08.900 This woman
00:25:09.800 is in labor.
00:25:11.940 They need to get her
00:25:13.540 to dry ground.
00:25:18.260 And everybody
00:25:19.160 in the neighborhood
00:25:19.820 pulls together,
00:25:21.280 everybody who is there.
00:25:24.080 I saw,
00:25:25.100 I saw a video
00:25:26.300 of a,
00:25:26.980 of a,
00:25:29.060 a guy
00:25:30.040 in a wheelchair
00:25:30.780 who is up
00:25:33.080 to his chest
00:25:34.100 in water.
00:25:35.640 What was he going
00:25:36.440 to do?
00:25:38.800 People
00:25:39.280 in a boat,
00:25:41.160 just strangers
00:25:41.880 from another part
00:25:43.440 of the state
00:25:43.940 come up,
00:25:45.820 go check the house,
00:25:47.100 find him in there.
00:25:48.580 Imagine what was going
00:25:49.380 through his mind.
00:25:50.380 Wow.
00:25:50.540 I mean,
00:25:52.200 we have to put
00:25:52.940 into perspective
00:25:53.580 one of the things
00:25:54.660 that is the biggest
00:25:56.360 need at the shelters
00:25:58.820 are charging stations.
00:26:02.220 We,
00:26:02.860 we forget about this.
00:26:05.020 You know,
00:26:05.680 you call,
00:26:06.760 well,
00:26:07.220 if your house
00:26:08.400 has been flooded,
00:26:09.680 your fuse
00:26:10.380 has popped
00:26:10.940 a long time ago.
00:26:12.260 so at this point,
00:26:15.400 if you're still
00:26:15.920 in your house,
00:26:16.720 unless you are
00:26:17.880 very,
00:26:18.440 very smart,
00:26:21.500 you,
00:26:22.500 uh,
00:26:23.760 you're out of power.
00:26:25.220 Your batteries
00:26:26.020 are gone
00:26:26.760 in your phone
00:26:27.620 and everything else
00:26:28.440 unless you've been
00:26:29.000 turning it on
00:26:29.560 just to check.
00:26:30.360 But most likely
00:26:31.620 you didn't plan
00:26:33.120 on still being
00:26:33.880 in this situation.
00:26:34.740 If this started
00:26:35.420 on Saturday,
00:26:36.240 you weren't thinking
00:26:36.940 that on Wednesday
00:26:38.560 I'm still going
00:26:39.640 to be in this situation.
00:26:40.840 what was that guy
00:26:44.340 thinking
00:26:44.900 as he was sitting
00:26:46.240 in a home
00:26:46.960 by himself
00:26:48.060 in his wheelchair
00:26:49.780 and the water
00:26:51.540 is coming up
00:26:52.380 and if he still
00:26:54.280 had power
00:26:55.100 and could hear
00:26:56.360 and,
00:26:59.940 and could hear
00:27:00.620 the reports
00:27:01.240 of the rain
00:27:01.980 that was coming
00:27:02.640 another,
00:27:03.320 what was it,
00:27:04.340 20 inches
00:27:05.160 last night
00:27:06.040 was expected.
00:27:06.980 Can you imagine?
00:27:09.080 I'm dead
00:27:09.880 and there's no place
00:27:10.640 to go
00:27:11.080 and you hear
00:27:12.600 a boat
00:27:13.180 pull up
00:27:14.420 to your front door
00:27:15.480 and somebody
00:27:17.220 open the door
00:27:17.980 and say,
00:27:18.700 is there anybody
00:27:19.200 in here?
00:27:20.500 Imagine what
00:27:21.380 that felt like
00:27:22.000 to that guy.
00:27:27.060 Is there
00:27:27.880 anything else
00:27:29.960 that we should
00:27:30.420 be doing?
00:27:35.880 When we started
00:27:36.720 the Nazarene Fund
00:27:37.700 two years ago,
00:27:38.940 somebody asked me this.
00:27:40.640 just the other
00:27:41.380 day.
00:27:42.700 What started that?
00:27:46.460 That was me
00:27:47.700 sitting in my
00:27:49.360 office
00:27:51.380 or sitting
00:27:52.180 in my studio
00:27:53.260 and
00:27:55.760 Johnny Moore
00:27:57.600 had just come by
00:27:58.600 and he had said,
00:28:00.700 there's a huge
00:28:01.960 problem.
00:28:03.580 We,
00:28:03.720 these Christians
00:28:06.120 and Yazidis
00:28:06.800 are just being
00:28:07.420 crucified
00:28:07.940 and sold
00:28:08.600 into slavery
00:28:09.200 and he said,
00:28:10.720 we're trying
00:28:11.020 to get these
00:28:11.400 50 families out.
00:28:12.580 He and Mark
00:28:12.980 Burnett were
00:28:13.420 trying to get
00:28:13.760 I think 50
00:28:14.380 families out
00:28:15.040 and they needed
00:28:19.180 a million dollars
00:28:19.940 to do it
00:28:20.480 and I said,
00:28:23.520 we're going to
00:28:23.740 help you
00:28:24.160 on that.
00:28:24.780 We'll raise
00:28:25.680 a million dollars.
00:28:26.880 We'll get them
00:28:27.360 out.
00:28:30.100 But what happened
00:28:31.100 just before that
00:28:32.140 was the turning
00:28:32.820 point.
00:28:33.180 I was on
00:28:33.840 television
00:28:34.360 and there was
00:28:35.740 a nun
00:28:36.360 who was trying
00:28:38.940 to get to the
00:28:39.440 United States
00:28:39.960 just to testify
00:28:40.920 in front of Congress
00:28:41.960 on what was
00:28:42.780 really happening
00:28:43.580 to these
00:28:44.120 Christians
00:28:44.440 and we had
00:28:46.320 a Skype
00:28:47.100 interview with
00:28:48.060 her and she
00:28:49.360 was living
00:28:49.940 in this
00:28:50.720 container,
00:28:53.100 cargo container
00:28:53.880 and it was
00:28:55.160 in the middle
00:28:55.640 of Iraq
00:28:56.540 and it was
00:28:57.060 in early
00:28:58.020 August
00:28:58.600 in the desert
00:29:00.280 in Iraq.
00:29:01.240 Now imagine
00:29:01.820 living your life
00:29:03.940 in a metal
00:29:04.880 box in the
00:29:06.480 middle of the
00:29:07.240 Iraqi desert
00:29:08.260 in August.
00:29:09.740 I don't
00:29:12.800 think that's
00:29:13.500 very cool.
00:29:15.500 You know,
00:29:15.680 there's no
00:29:15.980 windows,
00:29:16.580 there's nothing
00:29:17.280 and she's
00:29:18.320 broadcasting
00:29:19.120 her Skype
00:29:20.780 on phone
00:29:22.440 in the middle
00:29:23.620 of this
00:29:24.380 container
00:29:25.220 and she was
00:29:27.140 talking about
00:29:27.740 how she needed
00:29:28.420 help to get
00:29:29.120 into the United
00:29:29.900 States because
00:29:31.040 people needed
00:29:31.720 to hear the
00:29:32.340 message and she
00:29:33.000 was talking
00:29:33.460 about everything
00:29:33.960 and she wasn't
00:29:34.780 complaining about
00:29:35.500 her situation
00:29:36.180 at all and
00:29:36.820 it was weird
00:29:37.880 because I almost
00:29:38.500 had tunnel
00:29:39.240 vision
00:29:39.600 I stopped
00:29:41.180 listening to
00:29:41.880 her and I'm
00:29:43.500 just looking
00:29:44.180 at her in
00:29:45.340 this metal
00:29:45.800 box and I'm
00:29:46.400 starting to
00:29:46.860 imagine what
00:29:47.580 just her life
00:29:48.900 is like and
00:29:50.240 that she's not
00:29:51.000 asking for
00:29:51.620 anything from
00:29:52.160 her for her
00:29:52.880 she's not
00:29:53.300 saying hey
00:29:53.800 help me
00:29:54.200 help me
00:29:54.660 she's saying
00:29:55.460 I got to
00:29:55.900 get to the
00:29:56.240 United States
00:29:56.880 because the
00:29:57.840 people here
00:29:58.360 are suffering
00:29:58.860 not me
00:29:59.440 the people
00:30:00.740 here around
00:30:01.340 me are
00:30:02.160 suffering
00:30:02.500 and I
00:30:05.020 thought to
00:30:05.460 myself what
00:30:06.140 the hell am I
00:30:06.720 doing with my
00:30:07.320 life I am
00:30:08.960 sitting in
00:30:09.440 this air
00:30:09.860 conditioned
00:30:10.240 studio
00:30:10.800 and here's
00:30:13.380 this woman
00:30:13.760 actually standing
00:30:14.880 up in a
00:30:15.440 time that is
00:30:16.500 beginning to
00:30:17.280 look like the
00:30:17.680 1930s in
00:30:19.000 several places
00:30:19.660 around the
00:30:20.080 world and I'm
00:30:23.040 sitting here
00:30:23.620 doing what
00:30:24.700 and she said
00:30:28.120 thank you so
00:30:29.340 much for helping
00:30:30.420 me get the word
00:30:31.080 out and I don't
00:30:32.760 know if you saw
00:30:33.260 that episode but I
00:30:34.140 just I broke
00:30:34.880 down not unusual
00:30:35.780 for me I broke
00:30:36.780 down and I
00:30:37.500 just said I'm
00:30:39.420 sorry sister but I
00:30:40.400 haven't really even
00:30:41.220 listened to what
00:30:42.100 you were even
00:30:43.340 saying because I
00:30:43.960 just realized what
00:30:45.900 am I doing with my
00:30:46.760 life what are we
00:30:48.580 doing that was the
00:30:53.300 moment for me that I
00:30:54.160 decided to get
00:30:54.760 involved and there's
00:30:59.380 been some other
00:30:59.860 things here recently
00:31:00.760 I've I told you
00:31:03.320 recently and we'll
00:31:05.720 go over it this
00:31:06.480 fall as we go on
00:31:08.240 but I want you to
00:31:09.600 know I I've look
00:31:12.360 I've I've told you
00:31:13.420 about the Nazis
00:31:15.980 rising up 10
00:31:18.320 years ago I told
00:31:19.980 you about the
00:31:20.380 communists and the
00:31:21.240 Nazis and showed
00:31:22.380 you that this has
00:31:23.160 happened in the
00:31:23.780 1900s the early
00:31:25.740 1900s under
00:31:26.460 Wilson it
00:31:27.380 happened under
00:31:28.140 it happened under
00:31:30.760 FDR as well the
00:31:32.460 Nazis and the
00:31:33.680 communists they
00:31:34.460 fight and they
00:31:35.040 close down
00:31:35.460 shippings and they
00:31:36.180 try to close down
00:31:36.940 ports and they
00:31:37.660 try to close down
00:31:39.060 capitalism both of
00:31:40.060 them both sides
00:31:40.740 and Americans have
00:31:42.320 to be good enough to
00:31:43.140 navigate between
00:31:43.960 those two things
00:31:44.860 told you about that
00:31:45.620 for 10 years ago
00:31:46.940 and I've I've
00:31:49.860 warned you for a
00:31:50.400 long time these
00:31:51.460 things are about to
00:31:52.340 come and when they
00:31:53.060 do they will be
00:31:54.400 overwhelming and
00:31:55.200 even the very elect
00:31:56.200 will be lost even
00:31:56.960 the people who you
00:31:58.400 love and adore and
00:31:59.880 really get it they're
00:32:00.880 going to be lost
00:32:01.560 as it's going to be
00:32:02.940 overwhelming as I
00:32:05.260 said to you over the
00:32:06.660 last probably month
00:32:08.000 something deep inside
00:32:11.200 of me has changed
00:32:12.300 the seasons have
00:32:13.660 changed we are in a
00:32:16.400 new era we are we
00:32:21.160 have finished writing
00:32:22.380 the beginning of what
00:32:26.180 America and the
00:32:27.400 world is going
00:32:28.860 through and we're
00:32:30.160 now writing the
00:32:31.020 all-important middle
00:32:32.120 this is when we
00:32:34.980 actually decide which
00:32:38.140 way are we going
00:32:38.820 if you're watching a
00:32:40.440 three-act play the
00:32:42.340 first shows you the
00:32:44.080 life that people had
00:32:45.180 before and then the
00:32:47.080 conflict and then the
00:32:49.920 second act is them
00:32:51.000 going through the
00:32:52.060 conflict and it
00:32:53.600 leads to a pivot
00:32:55.120 point or a choice
00:32:56.640 curtain then act
00:32:59.040 three how do they
00:33:00.860 solve it we're now
00:33:02.820 entering act two
00:33:03.800 and I I urge you to
00:33:08.800 look at the
00:33:09.400 possibilities in front
00:33:10.720 of us I urge you the
00:33:11.680 good possibilities I
00:33:12.840 urge you to look at
00:33:14.020 the the the wake up
00:33:18.080 call that we're
00:33:18.860 getting right now
00:33:19.700 because this is
00:33:23.120 going to go back to
00:33:25.780 politics just like it
00:33:27.660 did after September
00:33:28.500 11th it's going to
00:33:30.380 go back and it's
00:33:31.540 probably going to be
00:33:32.560 worse than than it
00:33:35.360 was a week or so
00:33:37.140 ago this is a chance
00:33:38.700 for you to strengthen
00:33:40.080 yourself to find
00:33:41.720 shelter to find peace
00:33:44.280 to find your heart
00:33:45.680 again and to figure
00:33:47.600 out okay if I don't
00:33:49.220 want to go back to
00:33:50.320 feeling that way how
00:33:52.220 do I guard my heart
00:33:53.320 how do I stay there
00:33:54.760 because the lions are
00:33:57.620 coming again to rip
00:34:00.640 us apart and use
00:34:03.300 politics and economic
00:34:05.660 strife to do it get
00:34:08.100 involved and allow
00:34:10.900 yourself sounds so
00:34:13.460 weird but allow
00:34:16.580 yourself to be a
00:34:18.060 human being first
00:34:20.700 and a political
00:34:24.020 animal last now

00:37:11.640 all right harvey what does
00:37:28.240 this mean to you we know a
00:37:33.180 little bit what it means to
00:37:35.000 the people and we have
00:37:36.240 amazing stories of of people
00:37:39.740 pitching in and becoming
00:37:43.660 better than they were the
00:37:44.660 day before because they
00:37:45.980 have a purpose in life and
00:37:48.420 that purpose is to do
00:37:49.280 something noble let's go
00:37:50.480 save people what's
00:37:52.580 happening in texas is
00:37:53.980 truly miraculous but the
00:37:56.880 costs are i don't even
00:38:00.980 think people are really yet
00:38:03.040 thinking about what this
00:38:05.680 could mean to the globe
00:38:07.880 we're going to tell you some
00:38:10.540 of the good news but we're
00:38:12.180 going to tell you a lot of
00:38:12.780 the good news we're going to
00:38:13.960 tell you about a lot of the
00:38:15.000 heroes but we're also going
00:38:16.580 to give you perspective on
00:38:18.540 what this actually will mean to
00:38:20.500 you in the coming months and
00:38:22.560 we begin there right now
00:38:23.800 the fusion of entertainment
00:38:44.240 and enlightenment this is the
00:38:47.440 glenn beck program
00:38:49.980 we know the cost of well we
00:38:55.880 don't we don't i was gonna
00:38:57.220 say we know the cost of the
00:38:58.860 human toll but i don't think
00:39:00.540 we do not until those flood
00:39:01.960 waters recede will we be able
00:39:03.680 to see how many people were
00:39:05.680 trapped and just could not get
00:39:08.520 out pat worked at kprc in
00:39:10.620 houston for a long time when
00:39:12.400 allison came by people don't
00:39:14.160 understand dallas and houston
00:39:15.960 they both have an underground
00:39:18.680 uh system in between all the
00:39:20.880 stores so people it's kind of
00:39:21.840 like minneapolis where they
00:39:22.840 build the bridges over the
00:39:24.020 streets so nobody has to go
00:39:25.440 out in the cold uh the opposite
00:39:27.980 is true here in dallas and
00:39:29.660 houston to avoid the heat to
00:39:31.100 avoid the heat they have an
00:39:32.300 underground downtown and last
00:39:35.680 time when allison hit which was
00:39:37.820 nothing like this yeah i forget
00:39:39.640 how many people died in the
00:39:40.760 tunnels but it was a lot it was i
00:39:43.100 mean 24 people died uh overall i
00:39:45.600 think if i remember correctly
00:39:46.700 from allison but um many of
00:39:49.000 those were in the tunnel system
00:39:50.120 uh and so what i mean once you
00:39:53.040 get trapped down there and i i
00:39:54.240 don't know that they've been
00:39:54.980 able to get down there and see
00:39:56.120 if if anybody is is there uh as
00:40:00.240 of yet because you know the
00:40:01.540 waters are still rising so they
00:40:05.500 expect the rain though to stop
00:40:06.880 now uh to slow down i think
00:40:08.500 they're only expecting another
00:40:09.700 inch or so and then by thursday
00:40:12.400 there they might even have some
00:40:13.580 sun uh so there's some light at
00:40:16.160 the end of the tunnel but uh
00:40:18.040 still a long tunnel to go still
00:40:19.240 long ways to go so here's some
00:40:21.200 things uh that you need to know
00:40:23.100 because this is how this truly
00:40:25.460 affects you one you can allow this
00:40:29.420 to affect you in a positive or a
00:40:32.040 negative way anyone who is trying
00:40:34.780 to engage you in a negative
00:40:36.620 conversation at this point flee from
00:40:39.320 and i mean that even if if if even
00:40:43.380 if the blaze or somehow another
00:40:46.300 glennbeck.com story is out and it's
00:40:48.760 a negative spin on it flee from it
00:40:51.160 don't read it um you have to fill
00:40:54.920 yourself while we can with the hope
00:40:58.440 of what humans are really like not
00:41:01.580 this garbage of what people are saying
00:41:05.280 we're like and there are people that
00:41:07.820 just will not give up i'm gonna give
00:41:10.040 you a good example of this
00:41:11.280 joel olstein you can think about
00:41:13.880 whatever you want about joel joel is
00:41:16.940 a a really good guy i really believe he
00:41:20.380 is sincere in his belief now he
00:41:22.800 doesn't look sincere because he's he's
00:41:25.600 got that smile on his face all the
00:41:26.980 time and it's like joel you can't be
00:41:28.880 that happy all the time he's like i am
00:41:30.440 that happy and i really believe he is
00:41:32.600 and it pisses me off but that's who he
00:41:35.700 is okay he grew up in a preacher's
00:41:39.720 family his father was a bigger preacher
00:41:41.600 than he was he didn't want to become
00:41:43.860 the preacher his father passed this on
00:41:46.720 i think his brother decided not to do
00:41:48.560 it you know this story don't you pat
00:41:49.820 his brother something happened with his
00:41:51.620 brother his brother decided not to do
00:41:53.060 it so he he decided at the last minute
00:41:56.920 you know i think this is what i'm
00:41:59.580 supposed to do but i'm supposed to do
00:42:01.360 it differently than my father and he
00:42:03.800 started this church and he gets a lot of
00:42:06.200 pushback because he's not a gospel guy
00:42:09.560 he's much more of a you know the the
00:42:13.140 positive thinking guy think and it will
00:42:15.500 be become and it will become i think he
00:42:17.380 considers himself kind of a gateway to
00:42:19.040 christianity he does yeah he does and
00:42:21.260 there's a good place for that but a lot
00:42:24.100 of christians don't like it because oh
00:42:26.880 he's he's not the preacher that you know
00:42:29.280 is okay well i get that but there's a lot
00:42:32.280 of people that want what you're doing
00:42:33.840 and there's a lot of people that will
00:42:35.180 never go to church because that's not
00:42:38.740 the message that they're ready for or
00:42:42.040 want they they need an easier apply it
00:42:46.340 to my life show me how this affects me
00:42:49.260 today message and that's what joel does
00:42:52.020 now you can agree or disagree with it but
00:42:55.100 it's not my cup of tea all the time
00:42:57.580 sometimes i really like it but it is what
00:43:00.620 it is and i think he's a good man so
00:43:05.520 what's happening to him right now well
00:43:10.160 one he's being abandoned by christians he
00:43:15.280 is off on an island by himself because
00:43:17.660 there's a lot of preachers who just don't
00:43:19.180 like that joel olstein guy because he
00:43:20.760 doesn't talk about the bible enough
00:43:22.120 okay well congratulations on knowing the
00:43:27.760 mind of god congratulations because i
00:43:31.920 didn't get that message that we should
00:43:33.900 abandon these people because they don't
00:43:36.160 they don't do it exactly the way i think
00:43:38.240 it should be done i didn't get that
00:43:39.940 message but if you did congratulations
00:43:41.460 they're abandoning him because they
00:43:44.720 don't see him as a gateway to anything but
00:43:47.520 evil i think it's wrong but that's why
00:43:52.380 joel olstein is having the problem that
00:43:55.060 he's having now joel olstein is is has his
00:43:59.500 back against the wall and he may never
00:44:02.600 recover into a place of being a real
00:44:05.680 uniting figure in houston again why
00:44:09.700 because he bought the compact center which
00:44:13.760 is where the rockets used to play right
00:44:15.900 pat and it's this huge arena and he
00:44:19.040 bought it for 80 million dollars and he
00:44:21.240 transformed it into a big a big mega
00:44:25.320 church and it's quite impressive and
00:44:29.140 people come from all over the world to
00:44:31.520 worship there and listen to him speak
00:44:34.020 etc etc and they do a lot of good they do
00:44:36.800 a lot of good the compact center is the
00:44:41.900 a a backup to the george r brown convention
00:44:47.700 center so when the george r brown convention
00:44:49.920 center is full and they just need a place
00:44:53.500 for people to sleep you go to gateway or to
00:44:57.140 lakewood the church well the story is that
00:45:03.280 joel olstein is not opening his church to
00:45:06.600 people well the city has not asked him to
00:45:09.120 in fact the city he doesn't have the
00:45:11.780 resources that the george r brown convention
00:45:14.360 center has so send the people to the george
00:45:17.540 r brown convention center because that's
00:45:19.360 where they can be fed that's where they can
00:45:21.260 shower that's where the city is all set up
00:45:23.900 to go and when that is full he has a deal
00:45:27.880 with the city and he's been in touch with
00:45:30.080 the city every day and lakewood was in
00:45:33.080 danger of flooding at the very beginning at
00:45:34.840 the very beginning now because people saw
00:45:37.900 a picture of of the church and it didn't
00:45:41.800 have any water around it they're lying that
00:45:44.100 evil that evil joel olstein just getting
00:45:47.640 rich on the back he doesn't care he's not
00:45:49.420 a christian and no one is coming to his
00:45:51.900 defense first they came for joel olstein
00:45:54.600 and i said nothing because i wasn't a
00:45:57.500 member of his church and they're gonna pick
00:46:01.060 us off one by one now here's joel from
00:46:07.400 last night he was on with uh george
00:46:10.920 stefanopoulos well george first off the
00:46:14.100 building was inaccessible the flood
00:46:15.580 ride the floodwaters went down i mean this
00:46:17.720 building flooded in 2001 it had 10 feet of
00:46:20.400 water in the lower bowl and we put up
00:46:22.700 floodgates and it kept it kept it from
00:46:24.540 going over is only a foot away but you know
00:46:26.860 i think george the narrative is that we
00:46:28.920 didn't want to take people in or that we
00:46:30.420 didn't open in time is you know it's
00:46:32.100 totally not true we were we were here for
00:46:34.560 people we were shelter we were taking
00:46:36.060 people as soon as the as the floodwaters
00:46:38.620 receded when several people came here to
00:46:40.440 take them in but uh the city has a shelter
00:46:43.060 four miles from here we work with the city
00:46:45.300 all the time and when their cell when
00:46:47.220 their shelter was totally full they started
00:46:48.980 bringing people over here and here we are
00:46:50.800 again today doing it like we did in 2001
00:46:53.020 when we house 3000 people so i don't know i
00:46:55.800 think somebody created that narrative that
00:46:57.420 somehow we were high and dry and none of
00:46:59.400 that is true this building it was a safety
00:47:01.380 issue and took people in from the very
00:47:03.060 beginning you seem to be up and running
00:47:04.740 now but any lessons learned from this
00:47:08.880 well i think there always is but i think
00:47:10.680 george sometimes it's you know when
00:47:12.300 somebody's not in this situation where we
00:47:14.920 had nobody in this facility we had that we
00:47:17.100 were fearing that it would flood the last
00:47:18.900 thing we would do is put people in it
00:47:20.080 right at the beginning but yeah you would
00:47:21.900 you know we would probably be you know do
00:47:24.460 some things differently obviously but no my
00:47:26.520 niece was stranded right across the street
00:47:28.280 from this building the first two days of the
00:47:29.960 flood on on the or one day of the flood on
00:47:32.200 the freeway so it was it was a big flood and
00:47:35.080 it affected all of the people that run this
00:47:37.100 facility as well but uh you know what we've
00:47:39.760 been here 60 years helping people we're
00:47:41.400 gonna be here long after all this dies down
00:47:43.320 helping these people as well so there's
00:47:47.040 nothing you can do with that when that
00:47:48.600 twitter grass fire starts it just rages out of
00:47:51.440 control yeah and when people see it on
00:47:53.040 twitter it's so it's just true if twitter
00:47:55.600 has said it was so then then it's so then
00:47:58.120 it's so then it happened that's the way it
00:48:00.140 is period somebody calls him a liar on twitter
00:48:02.240 and everybody else picks up on that and then
00:48:04.560 pretty soon it's out of control and you can't
00:48:06.760 tell anybody anything okay so let me um
00:48:11.680 let let me let me go here we have a microphone
00:48:17.660 microphone there we go so let me go here

00:48:40.780 something in something that you don't know
00:48:44.660 anything about why because you have an
00:48:49.600 agenda or the people around you have an
00:48:51.720 agenda or the people you follow have an
00:48:53.700 agenda don't get involved in somebody's
00:48:57.440 agenda even if it makes you feel good

00:51:57.040 the glenn beck program okay we're gonna go
00:52:02.080 to uh take you down to houston yesterday
00:52:05.080 um jason betrill who is working for my um he's
00:52:08.580 my head researcher and uh and writer here at
00:52:10.740 the uh radio and uh television ranch if you
00:52:13.780 will and um he was down and saw the things that um
00:52:18.320 that are quite impressive the the not the
00:52:22.200 human toll but the human spirit in houston
00:52:24.500 we'll talk to him about that here in a
00:52:25.720 second first let me give you a couple of
00:52:27.400 facts on this and how this is going to
00:52:28.940 affect you in the coming months and we're
00:52:32.040 going to need each other this is one of the
00:52:33.860 reasons why please heal relationships use
00:52:39.200 this moment to heal relationships um people
00:52:43.720 with flood insurance they usually are buying
00:52:46.760 policies backed by the federal government and
00:52:49.580 the national flood insurance program i think
00:52:52.140 this is one of the worst things that we have
00:52:53.780 ever done as a government it encourages people
00:52:55.940 to build million dollar homes right on the
00:52:57.880 coastline and then they don't they wouldn't
00:53:02.360 build those houses there because no bank no
00:53:04.820 insurance company would give them the uh insurance
00:53:08.640 in case of a flood or a washout or whatever so no
00:53:12.540 bank will give them the loan well step in the
00:53:15.380 federal government hey we want to be able to back
00:53:17.440 that up and so when they're wiped out what
00:53:20.580 happens we the taxpayers are paying for those
00:53:23.280 homes the program already owes the u.s treasury
00:53:26.720 more than 24 billion dollars just from the
00:53:30.740 previous disasters experts now are projecting
00:53:34.200 the damages of this storm just the initial
00:53:38.760 estimates for wind damage alone and remember wind was
00:53:44.180 not the problem in houston the initial estimates for wind
00:53:48.080 damage alone insurance claims they believe will
00:53:50.620 reach as high as six billion dollars
00:53:53.760 yesterday fanny may everybody's favorite mortgage
00:54:01.000 company owned by you the federal government and
00:54:05.760 the taxpayer fanny may said that more than 36 000
00:54:10.680 homes with mortgages guaranteed by you the taxpayer are in areas
00:54:16.920 heavily affected by harvey they believe that they have 5.1
00:54:23.720 billion dollars in unpaid balances on the homes that are most likely going to
00:54:29.240 have to be bulldozed well don't worry the bank will get the insurance money
00:54:33.100 oh well first of all it's not a bank it is the federal government
00:54:37.340 playing bank so they'll lose their money no they won't because they'll be
00:54:42.680 covered by insurance and the insurance company is you
00:54:47.440 the ramifications of this the dominoes that could fall
00:54:55.480 next week i will start to talk to you about why
00:55:00.060 anyone who is saying good these oil companies they're gonna get theirs
00:55:05.160 20 percent of the refinery load now has the yesterday the the country's
00:55:12.300 largest refinery shut down because of this
00:55:15.680 that means we are now refining 20 percent
00:55:20.080 less of the oil every single day to turn it into gasoline
00:55:24.140 here in texas at the beginning of the week
00:55:27.200 gas was 220 they say by tomorrow or the next day
00:55:32.020 it will be at three dollars what's happening to the gas prices
00:55:35.340 in your town what's happening to the gas prices all around the country
00:55:40.120 it's happening because 20 percent of the refineries that take oil
00:55:46.660 and make it into gasoline are now offline and we don't know when they're
00:55:51.260 coming back so that'll drive your cost up
00:55:55.060 but here's another thing that nobody is explaining to anybody
00:55:59.540 that's going to cause the price of oil to go through the floor
00:56:05.260 because oil is the raw material and we have plenty of that raw material
00:56:12.760 that we already bought last week it's on ships it's still arriving
00:56:17.020 it's been sitting out on the coast on these giant oil tankers
00:56:21.260 waiting to come in to the port to offload to the refinery
00:56:25.100 but there's no place to offload because the refineries aren't refining any of it
00:56:31.820 so now we'll have this huge glut of oil
00:56:35.080 which means that we won't need to buy oil for a while
00:56:39.480 until we can get those oil refineries back online
00:56:42.500 and burn through this glut of oil
00:56:44.820 good for america price of oil through the floor
00:56:49.900 but if it's down 40 50 it could go as low as 30 dollars per barrel
00:56:56.560 that's not good for the middle east and that's certainly not good for vladimir putin
00:57:01.580 these are the kinds of things that we're going to be looking into
00:57:05.420 and we're going to be following because you need to understand
00:57:09.340 the ramifications
00:57:11.780 of what does what what is really affected and what's going to actually affect me
00:57:18.740 forget about politics
00:57:19.940 what's going to actually affect me
00:57:22.400 and in the meantime
00:57:23.260 we're going to try to do everything we can to keep your heart
00:57:26.640 right where it needs to be
00:57:28.220 we're all americans
00:57:29.500 let's come together
00:57:30.840 we just had some really critical information
00:57:46.020 that we should pass on to you
00:57:47.900 we hate to disappoint the audience
00:57:49.380 but sometimes people are disappointed
00:57:50.900 this one comes in from twitter at world of stew
00:57:52.820 i was disappointed jeffy didn't go cover the storm
00:57:55.560 he won't blow away in high winds
00:57:57.300 and he's very buoyant in case of flooding
00:57:59.060 so i could have used him
00:58:00.820 where you at man
00:58:01.940 come on
00:58:02.400 nothing helps
00:58:03.140 jason
00:58:03.800 isn't that good
00:58:04.420 jason went out
00:58:05.420 who is a head writer researcher for the glenbeck program
00:58:10.040 and we're glad to have you back safe and sound
00:58:12.560 you and sean went out yesterday
00:58:13.640 you
00:58:14.840 you couldn't actually get close to anything
00:58:18.040 because you were dumb enough to drive a car
00:58:20.720 who even has a car
00:58:22.240 in texas that is headed towards houston
00:58:25.500 yeah so we rented a
00:58:26.640 a very uh high mobility hyundai
00:58:29.280 that um
00:58:30.400 right
00:58:31.180 that seemed like a good idea at the time
00:58:33.280 yeah
00:58:33.540 but yeah
00:58:34.140 so we we didn't expect to have to actually maneuver
00:58:37.180 when we got down there in this hyundai
00:58:38.680 we were going to jump into the vehicles
00:58:40.740 with the rescue group that we were with
00:58:42.400 but they had full-on boat crews
00:58:45.140 they had tons of gear
00:58:46.140 all that stuff
00:58:46.760 so like at the last minute
00:58:47.660 they were like guys
00:58:48.360 you follow us convoy down to the actual boat put-in area
00:58:51.460 and you can just follow us down there
00:58:53.200 so we were like okay you know we'll try
00:58:55.460 we got
00:58:56.200 we were so we started going down towards katie texas
00:58:58.420 which was the hardest hit area at that time yesterday
00:59:00.580 and we got maybe
00:59:02.760 wait katie was the hardest hit area
00:59:04.360 yeah you didn't hear this
00:59:05.020 at that point
00:59:05.240 yeah
00:59:05.680 yeah
00:59:05.980 so they pulled up a map that morning
00:59:07.840 and they were like
00:59:08.340 these are all the areas
00:59:09.260 some program they were using
00:59:10.160 of all the people throwing out
00:59:11.880 oh was it really
00:59:12.440 oh my gosh
00:59:13.340 it's a huge suburb
00:59:14.400 it is the
00:59:15.040 the main suburb
00:59:16.460 if you work in houston
00:59:18.240 it's the main suburb
00:59:19.820 and it's
00:59:20.940 you know fairly
00:59:21.600 it's not like hoity-toity
00:59:23.000 but it's
00:59:24.060 it's
00:59:24.580 it's affluent
00:59:25.320 parts of it are very nice
00:59:26.480 yeah parts of it are very nice
00:59:27.780 the feeling driving down there
00:59:29.400 was kind of hard to describe
00:59:30.380 because you think
00:59:30.820 what kept going through my head
00:59:32.100 was like watching Independence Day
00:59:33.460 or you know
00:59:34.240 like a alien
00:59:35.180 you know invasion movie
00:59:36.480 because there were tons of people coming out
00:59:38.700 there was only rescue vehicles
00:59:40.360 and like police
00:59:41.360 and stuff like that going in
00:59:42.600 all the radio stations
00:59:44.080 most of the radio stations
00:59:45.300 were tuned to the emergency broadcast
00:59:47.280 thing
00:59:48.080 so you're seeing that
00:59:49.740 so as we're driving down
00:59:51.000 I actually
00:59:51.400 you can actually see
00:59:52.100 like we would get to a certain area
00:59:53.700 after we broke apart
00:59:54.800 from the main group
00:59:55.540 and we were trying to work our way
00:59:56.860 through the back roads
00:59:57.600 we'd get to a certain area
00:59:58.800 and then all of a sudden
00:59:59.660 you'd see
01:00:00.100 you know
01:00:01.040 all the way up to the houses
01:00:02.760 all the way up to the front doors
01:00:03.960 the water's you know
01:00:04.720 creeping in
01:00:05.200 the waters were sweeping over
01:00:06.920 like you could just see
01:00:07.520 the tops of trucks
01:00:08.380 that had just gotten stranded
01:00:09.340 in some of these intersections
01:00:10.600 you could not move
01:00:11.700 so Jason
01:00:12.460 as you were going down there
01:00:13.840 you know
01:00:14.780 the big controversy
01:00:15.820 over the weekend
01:00:16.460 was
01:00:17.100 you know
01:00:17.860 the city and the state
01:00:18.860 had an argument
01:00:19.460 evacuate evacuate evacuate
01:00:20.880 the argument from the city
01:00:22.980 was not
01:00:23.600 no
01:00:24.080 we shouldn't evacuate
01:00:25.560 because it might cause
01:00:26.700 more problems
01:00:27.240 it was
01:00:27.940 no I don't know
01:00:28.880 if we need to do it yet
01:00:29.900 if I'm not mistaken
01:00:31.840 kind of the same thing
01:00:33.140 that happened in New Orleans
01:00:34.340 however
01:00:36.320 that may have turned out
01:00:37.780 to be a great blessing
01:00:39.180 because
01:00:39.800 you would have had
01:00:41.240 probably a million people
01:00:43.740 trapped
01:00:44.660 in their cars
01:00:46.300 on these highways
01:00:47.280 and
01:00:48.520 nowhere to go
01:00:50.540 that's what happened
01:00:51.940 you know
01:00:52.380 in all evacuations
01:00:54.160 and the last time
01:00:55.240 it happened in Houston
01:00:55.920 people were stuck
01:00:57.460 in traffic
01:00:58.000 they ran out of gas
01:00:59.800 and families
01:01:00.720 were trapped
01:01:01.820 in their cars
01:01:02.400 now imagine
01:01:03.280 five, six, seven, eight
01:01:04.920 some places
01:01:05.880 twelve feet
01:01:06.980 of water
01:01:07.680 would that have been
01:01:10.060 much worse
01:01:10.860 do you think?
01:01:11.360 oh my gosh
01:01:12.340 yes
01:01:12.720 we could
01:01:13.540 I mean
01:01:13.780 I think
01:01:14.680 to go off that point
01:01:15.720 I think they were
01:01:16.300 doing it right
01:01:17.000 it seemed like
01:01:17.660 it was efficient
01:01:18.160 the way they were
01:01:18.560 doing it
01:01:18.840 they had two stages
01:01:19.720 as we were listening
01:01:20.880 to the emergency broadcast
01:01:21.820 there was the
01:01:22.900 suggested evacuation
01:01:25.160 saying that
01:01:26.040 okay in these areas
01:01:27.140 water level is rising
01:01:28.380 we suggest you evacuate
01:01:29.600 but it wasn't mandatory
01:01:30.400 the places that were dire
01:01:32.920 those were under
01:01:33.740 mandatory evacuation
01:01:34.640 so it was going
01:01:35.780 in like stages
01:01:36.540 so you could
01:01:37.300 there were certain areas
01:01:38.300 you have to get out
01:01:39.200 mandatory evacuation
01:01:39.980 they would leave
01:01:40.660 so those were the people
01:01:41.720 that we were seeing
01:01:42.440 you know
01:01:43.040 cruising down the freeway
01:01:43.980 or getting out of there
01:01:44.780 but it was managed
01:01:46.460 the other places
01:01:47.360 that were just
01:01:47.980 we suggest you evacuate
01:01:49.240 that was actually
01:01:50.060 kind of surreal
01:01:50.680 because
01:01:51.180 and you can see
01:01:51.760 how people actually
01:01:52.560 you wonder
01:01:53.320 you know
01:01:53.740 when you see
01:01:54.240 these news broadcasts
01:01:55.280 how do these people
01:01:55.840 why do they stay
01:01:56.620 in their homes?
01:01:57.340 like how did it
01:01:57.940 get to this point?
01:01:58.760 I could actually
01:01:59.500 get that now
01:02:00.120 because you'd go
01:02:00.840 into some of these
01:02:01.400 villages on the
01:02:01.820 outskirts of Katy
01:02:02.560 and you've seen
01:02:03.760 these neighborhoods
01:02:04.560 Pat
01:02:04.900 where they're very
01:02:05.920 they're just like
01:02:06.420 our neighborhoods
01:02:06.860 you know
01:02:07.180 the neighborhood
01:02:07.600 that I live in
01:02:08.160 there's people
01:02:08.860 walking their dogs
01:02:09.780 down the
01:02:10.280 down the sidewalk
01:02:11.160 they're looking
01:02:11.740 at the water's rise
01:02:12.780 you know
01:02:13.200 and there's kids
01:02:13.800 you know
01:02:14.120 building little toys
01:02:15.000 and it's going into it
01:02:15.920 they didn't feel
01:02:16.620 threatened at the time
01:02:17.440 well water is
01:02:18.460 gradually
01:02:19.060 gradually rising
01:02:20.040 but I could
01:02:20.660 sympathize with them
01:02:21.360 because I'm like
01:02:21.800 well if it's not
01:02:22.720 really
01:02:23.000 if it's not
01:02:24.020 coming up to my door
01:02:24.840 I'm probably
01:02:25.280 not leaving either
01:02:25.880 because I have
01:02:26.180 all my stuff in here
01:02:27.020 we went through
01:02:28.440 many storms
01:02:29.140 and several hurricanes
01:02:30.020 and never flooded
01:02:30.900 in Katy
01:02:31.260 so especially
01:02:32.280 Katy residents
01:02:33.080 would probably be like
01:02:34.080 well that's not
01:02:34.640 going to happen here
01:02:35.240 so I was just
01:02:35.720 talking to a guy
01:02:36.340 about
01:02:36.720 because I can't
01:02:37.760 take the tornadoes
01:02:38.680 here anymore
01:02:39.320 I just can't
01:02:39.980 it freaks my children
01:02:41.180 out
01:02:41.480 and so I want to
01:02:42.620 build a storm shelter
01:02:43.440 and I want to
01:02:44.240 build a storm shelter
01:02:44.940 also for the library
01:02:46.240 that I have
01:02:46.740 I don't want it
01:02:47.220 sucked up into the sky
01:02:48.740 and so I'm talking
01:02:52.280 to this guy
01:02:52.720 and he said
01:02:53.960 you know
01:02:54.380 don't build the storm
01:02:55.960 where do you want
01:02:56.340 to build it
01:02:56.700 and I said
01:02:57.040 I don't know
01:02:58.140 where we could go
01:03:00.020 and he said
01:03:01.120 well I suggest
01:03:01.740 you build it
01:03:02.340 in your garage
01:03:02.940 and I said
01:03:03.580 well wait
01:03:04.480 why
01:03:05.060 and he said
01:03:06.240 because if you
01:03:08.080 build it
01:03:08.820 where you have
01:03:09.640 to go outside
01:03:10.440 think of this
01:03:11.480 usually
01:03:12.040 it'll be in the
01:03:12.700 middle of the night
01:03:13.220 and you'll have
01:03:14.180 to get everybody up
01:03:14.940 and then they'll
01:03:16.060 you'll have to go
01:03:16.720 outside
01:03:17.220 get dressed
01:03:17.880 it'll be raining
01:03:18.680 you know
01:03:19.300 blah blah blah blah blah
01:03:19.980 and then nothing
01:03:21.240 will happen
01:03:21.780 and then you'll
01:03:22.780 get wet
01:03:23.320 coming back in
01:03:24.240 and then you'll
01:03:25.000 all go to bed
01:03:25.500 and what will happen
01:03:26.740 one or two storms
01:03:28.180 down the road
01:03:28.880 you'll say to the kids
01:03:30.120 you know what
01:03:30.460 let's just stay here
01:03:31.180 in bed
01:03:31.540 and we'll all go
01:03:32.320 if it gets bad
01:03:33.120 and then you're
01:03:33.960 sucked up into the sky
01:03:34.900 and the same thing
01:03:36.480 happens here
01:03:37.120 with these
01:03:37.560 with hurricanes
01:03:39.040 is you've gone
01:03:40.940 through them
01:03:41.340 over and over again
01:03:41.980 nothing happens
01:03:42.980 and you're not
01:03:44.520 seeing
01:03:45.120 it doesn't connect
01:03:46.280 with you
01:03:46.700 that that's going
01:03:47.480 to happen to you
01:03:48.580 or your neighborhood
01:03:49.580 and then all of a sudden
01:03:50.780 you were driving
01:03:51.540 yesterday
01:03:51.980 and you would drive
01:03:53.320 down streets
01:03:54.040 and you were trying
01:03:54.500 to get places
01:03:55.080 and by the time
01:03:56.100 you went okay
01:03:56.660 well that's blocked
01:03:57.340 you'd turn around
01:03:58.080 and you'd realize
01:03:58.980 I'm trapped
01:03:59.980 I can't get out now
01:04:00.980 that was the most
01:04:01.960 claustrophobic feeling
01:04:03.060 and that's what
01:04:04.280 the rescuers
01:04:04.880 are having to put up
01:04:05.440 with too
01:04:05.720 I had never heard
01:04:06.360 of this
01:04:06.640 in some of these
01:04:07.540 situations
01:04:08.520 because usually
01:04:09.000 it's like
01:04:09.300 after the fact
01:04:10.140 the waters had risen
01:04:10.900 they pretty much
01:04:11.740 leveled off
01:04:13.020 and then rescue workers
01:04:13.820 go in
01:04:14.240 it's still rising
01:04:15.640 even up to this day
01:04:16.760 so as we were
01:04:17.600 getting to certain points
01:04:18.600 water was rising
01:04:20.640 behind us
01:04:21.320 so we were like
01:04:22.060 well how the heck
01:04:22.560 do we get out of here
01:04:23.140 at one point
01:04:23.680 we just stopped
01:04:24.200 beside the road
01:04:24.740 scratched our heads
01:04:25.420 and said
01:04:25.760 we might be stuck
01:04:26.980 out here for a night
01:04:27.680 like this car
01:04:28.300 is getting swept away
01:04:29.840 you know
01:04:30.300 one of the coolest
01:04:30.960 on that
01:04:31.560 and that little
01:04:32.580 conundrum of trying
01:04:33.480 to get out
01:04:33.900 I saw one of the
01:04:34.740 coolest things
01:04:35.220 I saw out there
01:04:36.000 so we got to a certain
01:04:37.080 point just before
01:04:37.800 we had to evacuate
01:04:38.660 and get out of there
01:04:39.240 to where we got
01:04:40.660 to a point
01:04:41.060 where we were
01:04:41.320 going to try
01:04:41.580 to turn around
01:04:42.140 the water level
01:04:43.020 was rising up
01:04:43.960 about halfway up
01:04:44.880 onto one of the
01:04:45.320 homes
01:04:45.940 and you saw
01:04:47.320 a long line of cars
01:04:48.480 people were just
01:04:49.020 pulling up
01:04:49.420 into people's
01:04:49.920 driveways
01:04:50.380 and I was like
01:04:50.640 why are all these
01:04:51.180 cars pulled up
01:04:51.820 into people's
01:04:52.320 driveways and yards
01:04:53.040 well what it was
01:04:54.160 was is that was
01:04:54.780 kind of like
01:04:55.060 the point of no return
01:04:55.900 all the neighborhood
01:04:57.280 the people in the
01:04:58.400 residence of these
01:04:59.200 homes
01:04:59.480 they were driving up
01:05:00.680 basically metaphorically
01:05:01.980 to the fire
01:05:02.600 they had whatever
01:05:03.680 they had
01:05:04.080 they had blow up
01:05:04.740 boats
01:05:05.080 they had floaties
01:05:05.960 they had canoes
01:05:07.020 and they were like
01:05:07.840 this way
01:05:08.540 and they were going
01:05:09.260 right up there
01:05:09.800 and they were
01:05:10.140 throwing in them
01:05:10.700 in their own
01:05:11.360 and they were going
01:05:12.000 to help out
01:05:12.560 their neighbors
01:05:13.020 I got chills
01:05:14.480 seeing that
01:05:14.960 I wanted to stay
01:05:15.540 there and watch
01:05:16.180 but again
01:05:16.880 we would have
01:05:17.500 gotten swept up
01:05:18.100 with it too
01:05:18.360 but that's what
01:05:19.020 they were willing
01:05:19.420 to do for their
01:05:19.960 neighbors
01:05:20.240 it was amazing
01:05:20.940 they're driving
01:05:21.540 their car
01:05:21.900 and everybody's
01:05:22.460 walking away
01:05:22.940 going
01:05:23.260 my car's lost
01:05:24.360 oh yeah
01:05:24.920 they're never
01:05:27.100 going to see
01:05:27.360 that again

01:05:29.680 remarkable

01:06:36.940 it's probably

01:07:17.420 Natasha
01:07:18.040 is
01:07:20.020 it feels
01:07:20.680 pretty guilty
01:07:21.180 today
01:07:21.520 I wanted to
01:07:22.100 bring her on
01:07:22.580 because she
01:07:22.960 said she feels
01:07:23.640 really guilty
01:07:24.220 because she
01:07:25.280 knows that she
01:07:26.140 should have
01:07:26.580 really been
01:07:27.080 paying attention
01:07:27.620 to the flood
01:07:28.140 because that's
01:07:28.500 where your
01:07:28.740 heart is
01:07:29.160 but instead
01:07:30.660 you were
01:07:31.120 watching
01:07:31.560 something on
01:07:32.600 H.H. Holmes
01:07:33.400 last night
01:07:34.200 Season
01:07:34.840 Finality
01:07:35.280 of American
01:07:35.960 Ripper
01:07:36.220 on History
01:07:37.060 Channel
01:07:37.320 That's my
01:07:38.460 guilty pleasure
01:07:38.960 right now
01:07:39.780 Serial
01:07:40.360 Killers
01:07:40.740 You're not
01:07:42.380 one to
01:07:42.680 talk Glenn
01:07:43.260 It's true
01:07:44.900 You did a
01:07:45.580 show on
01:07:45.900 H.H. Holmes
01:07:46.320 yourself
01:07:46.800 H.H. Holmes
01:07:48.300 in case you
01:07:48.860 don't know
01:07:49.220 he's America's
01:07:50.100 first serial
01:07:50.700 killer
01:07:50.960 We did a
01:07:51.640 great episode
01:07:52.660 on his
01:07:53.520 story
01:07:53.860 that is
01:07:54.640 just
01:07:55.360 phenomenal
01:07:56.320 You don't
01:07:57.680 know this
01:07:58.380 story
01:07:58.780 is incredible
01:07:59.860 and the
01:08:01.880 History Channel
01:08:02.600 just took
01:08:03.640 his great
01:08:04.200 great grandson
01:08:05.020 because his
01:08:06.560 great great
01:08:06.940 grandson has
01:08:07.800 this theory
01:08:08.540 that he
01:08:09.480 was actually
01:08:10.240 Jack the
01:08:10.800 Ripper
01:08:11.000 Yes
01:08:11.540 and it's
01:08:13.240 an eight
01:08:13.600 episode series
01:08:14.580 and they
01:08:15.360 go through
01:08:16.020 and find
01:08:17.640 the similarities
01:08:18.280 between H.H. Holmes
01:08:19.380 and Jack the
01:08:19.960 Ripper
01:08:20.120 and I
01:08:22.160 wouldn't say
01:08:22.600 there's any
01:08:23.120 real hard
01:08:24.180 evidence
01:08:24.680 but the
01:08:26.040 speculative
01:08:26.640 evidence
01:08:27.120 is pretty
01:08:27.940 cool
01:08:28.220 they were
01:08:29.840 both
01:08:30.080 doctors
01:08:30.540 and they
01:08:31.220 both
01:08:31.480 killed
01:08:31.840 in a
01:08:32.160 similar
01:08:32.380 fashion
01:08:32.920 very
01:08:34.240 surgical
01:08:34.740 clean
01:08:36.580 killings
01:08:37.700 very
01:08:37.980 similar
01:08:38.620 and the
01:08:39.780 eyewitness
01:08:40.200 accounts
01:08:40.680 from
01:08:41.020 Jack the
01:08:42.220 Ripper
01:08:42.420 in London
01:08:43.240 suggest
01:08:44.320 that
01:08:45.040 he was
01:08:46.080 actually
01:08:46.300 an
01:08:46.460 American
01:08:46.780 I've never
01:08:49.100 heard that
01:08:49.440 before
01:08:49.740 and the
01:08:50.100 handwriting
01:08:51.000 samples
01:08:51.560 from both
01:08:52.000 of them
01:08:52.340 are also
01:08:53.660 similar
01:08:54.040 they took
01:08:55.260 the handwriting
01:08:55.760 samples
01:08:56.160 to an
01:08:56.900 expert
01:08:57.240 and they
01:08:58.280 couldn't
01:08:58.640 conclude
01:08:59.240 that they
01:08:59.960 were the
01:09:00.160 same
01:09:00.340 person
01:09:00.680 but they
01:09:01.120 couldn't
01:09:01.340 rule it
01:09:01.620 out
01:09:01.820 and there's
01:09:02.760 also some
01:09:03.200 English
01:09:03.640 phrases
01:09:04.180 so in
01:09:05.220 case you
01:09:05.560 don't know
01:09:05.860 this guy
01:09:06.340 killed
01:09:07.360 first just
01:09:07.920 for money
01:09:08.940 and then I
01:09:09.480 think it
01:09:09.740 actually started
01:09:10.240 when he was
01:09:10.600 young
01:09:10.940 it started
01:09:11.380 with pleasure
01:09:13.540 he got away
01:09:14.220 with killing
01:09:14.680 his best
01:09:15.200 friend when
01:09:15.600 he was
01:09:15.820 young
01:09:16.120 and then it
01:09:17.300 just built
01:09:17.640 from there
01:09:18.000 but he
01:09:18.360 would kill
01:09:18.780 people
01:09:19.100 and he
01:09:19.620 would
01:09:19.980 dissolve
01:09:21.780 their bodies
01:09:22.480 and then
01:09:23.520 sell the
01:09:24.240 skeletons
01:09:24.800 for science
01:09:27.740 up in the
01:09:29.040 classroom
01:09:29.460 here's a
01:09:29.920 skeleton
01:09:30.160 so a lot
01:09:31.080 of those
01:09:31.420 early skeletons
01:09:32.180 were from
01:09:32.700 him
01:09:33.060 and he
01:09:35.620 kept getting
01:09:36.260 away with it
01:09:36.820 and then he
01:09:37.140 built this
01:09:37.520 horrible torture
01:09:38.800 chamber
01:09:39.140 in killing
01:09:39.700 slaughterhouse
01:09:40.600 in Chicago
01:09:42.540 and he
01:09:43.220 built it
01:09:43.540 as a hotel
01:09:44.240 and it
01:09:44.580 was
01:09:44.880 diabolical
01:09:46.160 truly
01:09:46.560 diabolical
01:09:47.340 but when
01:09:49.020 he was
01:09:49.480 buried
01:09:50.140 he was
01:09:51.260 buried
01:09:51.740 under
01:09:52.240 I don't
01:09:52.500 know how
01:09:52.900 many pounds
01:09:53.540 of concrete
01:09:54.180 because
01:09:54.860 he had
01:09:56.160 it in
01:09:56.400 his will
01:09:56.960 that he
01:09:58.140 wanted to
01:09:58.600 make sure
01:09:58.880 nobody could
01:09:59.480 get into
01:09:59.840 his crypt
01:10:00.500 and do
01:10:01.020 to his
01:10:01.440 body
01:10:01.800 what he
01:10:02.640 had been
01:10:02.900 doing to
01:10:03.220 everybody
01:10:03.460 else's
01:10:03.800 body
01:10:04.040 and in
01:10:05.620 a strange
01:10:06.120 turn of
01:10:06.500 events
01:10:06.820 they actually
01:10:07.340 honored
01:10:07.660 that
01:10:08.060 and they
01:10:10.060 dug him
01:10:10.560 up on
01:10:11.020 last night's
01:10:11.580 episode
01:10:11.840 yes the
01:10:12.220 season
01:10:12.460 finality

01:10:15.700 Tom's being
01:10:16.220 exhumed
01:10:16.820 and I don't
01:10:18.920 want to give
01:10:19.240 anything away
01:10:19.700 it's too late
01:10:20.400 already
01:10:20.740 no you know
01:10:21.980 that
01:10:22.320 but I
01:10:23.820 want Jeff

01:10:24.760 it and

01:10:26.440 inside

01:11:33.540 School
01:11:33.820 in Houston
01:11:34.420 so here's
01:11:37.160 what happened
01:11:37.620 Tom wakes
01:11:41.200 up in the
01:11:41.800 morning
01:11:42.040 and he
01:11:43.140 sees the
01:11:44.740 massive
01:11:45.500 flooding
01:11:46.400 now he
01:11:47.260 has a
01:11:48.140 truck
01:11:48.640 himself
01:11:49.160 and it's
01:11:50.020 nearly
01:11:50.400 completely
01:11:51.140 submerged
01:11:51.900 and all

01:11:55.560 all the way
01:11:56.040 up to their
01:11:56.400 doors
01:11:56.780 so

01:12:05.080 this point
01:12:05.540 he wasn't
01:12:08.440 feeling sorry
01:12:08.960 for himself
01:12:09.480 he didn't
01:12:09.900 even think
01:12:10.360 about himself
01:12:10.980 he didn't
01:12:13.440 think oh
01:12:14.100 wow there
01:12:14.920 goes my
01:12:15.340 truck
01:12:16.000 what he
01:12:17.520 did is
01:12:18.200 he called
01:12:18.620 his friends
01:12:19.120 and said
01:12:19.560 hey can

01:12:20.540 together
01:12:21.160 we have

01:12:24.160 pick up
01:12:24.720 my best
01:12:25.980 friend's
01:12:26.580 dad's
01:12:27.700 fishing boat
01:12:28.520 and let's
01:12:29.760 go bring
01:12:30.180 it back
01:12:30.700 so here's
01:12:32.000 what they
01:12:32.220 did
01:12:32.520 they
01:12:33.520 they put
01:12:34.540 the boat
01:12:35.080 onto the
01:12:36.620 trailer
01:12:36.880 they drove
01:12:37.400 it back
01:12:37.800 to their
01:12:38.060 neighborhood
01:12:38.400 and once
01:12:40.180 it began
01:12:40.600 to float
01:12:41.240 they could
01:12:42.420 hear people
01:12:43.120 screaming
01:12:43.620 they got
01:12:43.940 in the
01:12:44.160 boat
01:12:44.320 and they
01:12:44.500 started
01:12:44.700 going

01:12:45.280 started
01:12:45.800 hearing
01:12:46.040 people
01:12:46.400 screaming
01:12:47.340 and so
01:12:49.940 they took
01:12:51.460 a paddle
01:12:52.180 board
01:12:52.560 behind them
01:12:53.440 on the
01:12:53.820 boat
01:12:54.060 and they
01:12:55.080 said grab
01:12:55.780 on to

01:13:03.060 pulling
01:13:03.440 people out
01:13:04.280 and they
01:13:04.860 were doing
01:13:05.240 this all
01:13:06.120 day

01:13:06.740 the only
01:13:07.420 boat
01:13:07.820 in the
01:13:08.220 neighborhood
01:13:08.600 they did
01:13:09.480 it until
01:13:09.880 two o'clock
01:13:10.560 in the
01:13:10.900 morning

01:13:48.360 daddy
01:13:48.700 they
01:13:49.220 did it

01:18:17.100 when i was 40
01:18:17.700 years old my
01:18:18.380 grandfather told
01:18:19.320 the family the
01:18:20.200 horrible secret
01:18:21.000 that he'd kept
01:18:21.720 to himself
01:18:22.440 including my
01:18:23.180 grandmother about
01:18:24.140 our horrible
01:18:24.940 ancestor

01:18:33.500 successful california
01:18:34.780 lawyer trial lawyer
01:18:35.800 at the time i i
01:18:36.900 gave that all up
01:18:38.140 uh my life was
01:18:39.400 turned upside down
01:18:40.580 i saved my
01:18:41.180 marriage barely
01:18:42.220 but i had to
01:18:43.600 find out what
01:18:44.380 was true and
01:18:45.340 what was legend
01:18:46.380 and as you know
01:18:48.040 doing work on
01:18:49.260 holmes the more
01:18:50.200 you dig into this
01:18:51.220 story about this
01:18:52.160 evil genius the
01:18:53.400 more strange it
01:18:54.340 gets
01:18:54.680 yeah he is um
01:18:56.220 it is it's so
01:18:57.460 strangely tied to
01:18:59.320 the one of the
01:19:00.500 greatest brightest
01:19:01.600 spots of the uh
01:19:03.460 of the uh
01:19:04.420 1800s the
01:19:05.580 chicago expedition
01:19:06.920 that right down
01:19:08.020 the street we're
01:19:09.340 seeing these
01:19:09.920 incredible feats
01:19:11.420 of what america
01:19:12.300 is accomplishing
01:19:13.000 just a few blocks
01:19:14.180 down here's this
01:19:15.940 incredible serial
01:19:18.060 killer who built
01:19:19.580 this hotel of
01:19:20.720 horrors can you
01:19:21.720 do you want to go
01:19:22.660 into that just a
01:19:23.460 little bit so
01:19:24.340 people understand
01:19:24.920 who don't know
01:19:25.540 who your great
01:19:26.160 grandfather was
01:19:27.040 yeah yeah he
01:19:28.920 was as you as
01:19:29.800 you so accurately
01:19:30.940 stated he was
01:19:32.620 america's first
01:19:33.820 quote-unquote
01:19:34.720 serial killer and
01:19:35.940 first psychopathic
01:19:37.160 they invented those
01:19:38.220 terms for him he
01:19:39.240 was so horrible
01:19:39.960 right and and
01:19:41.380 he invented a
01:19:43.040 a building they
01:19:44.460 now call the
01:19:45.240 murder castle or
01:19:46.220 factory of death
01:19:47.220 which as you
01:19:48.880 noted from the
01:19:50.400 ferris wheel you
01:19:51.240 could see the top
01:19:52.200 of the hotel from
01:19:53.160 the world's fair
01:19:54.000 and he put up
01:19:56.500 lonely ladies that
01:19:58.560 had come from all
01:19:59.500 over the country to
01:20:00.460 visit this spectacle
01:20:01.740 of the world's
01:20:02.520 fair and what i
01:20:03.840 try to explain to
01:20:04.920 people explaining
01:20:05.980 what it must have
01:20:07.700 been like i i
01:20:08.560 consider him like a
01:20:09.640 lion over the
01:20:10.640 savannah in africa
01:20:11.640 watching the herds
01:20:12.700 of gazelle and and
01:20:14.460 i think and i think
01:20:15.140 that's the mistake
01:20:15.740 people make glenn they
01:20:16.800 they try to consider
01:20:17.980 him you know one of
01:20:19.340 the the normal serial
01:20:20.780 killers we read over
01:20:21.920 and over about this
01:20:22.720 was a different man
01:20:23.440 this was different
01:20:24.180 no he was he was i
01:20:26.840 mean i hate to use
01:20:27.560 this word for him but
01:20:28.720 he was brilliant i
01:20:30.720 mean he he he did
01:20:32.060 stalk his prey he
01:20:33.440 knew exactly what
01:20:34.940 he was doing um
01:20:36.940 and so cold and
01:20:38.980 calculated and the
01:20:40.460 way he built this
01:20:41.980 murder castle he was
01:20:44.860 he would turn people
01:20:46.160 away women would
01:20:47.180 come in and they
01:20:48.080 you know had uh you
01:20:49.280 know two women or
01:20:50.160 three women or
01:20:50.840 whatever a guy would
01:20:52.280 come in and he'd
01:20:52.900 say we're all full but
01:20:53.860 if you were a woman
01:20:54.800 by yourself you
01:20:55.800 definitely got a
01:20:56.660 room and can you
01:20:58.240 describe a little bit
01:20:59.060 about the murder
01:20:59.620 castle and the way he
01:21:00.640 set traps up and
01:21:02.220 viewing stations and
01:21:04.220 you know what was
01:21:05.360 going on there
01:21:06.040 yeah and if if
01:21:09.700 someone would like
01:21:10.520 to go accurately
01:21:11.820 into the actual
01:21:13.160 architecture of the
01:21:14.160 building my friend
01:21:14.900 john borowski wrote
01:21:15.900 a book that i think
01:21:16.900 best describes it but
01:21:18.200 you have you have a
01:21:19.440 building where someone
01:21:20.400 would walk in the
01:21:21.380 lobby uh as a normal
01:21:23.280 hotel and be giving
01:21:24.960 a room if the doctor
01:21:26.800 considered her his
01:21:28.600 next victim uh he
01:21:30.480 would they would
01:21:31.020 place her in a room
01:21:31.860 where there were gas
01:21:32.880 vents that he could
01:21:33.900 either render her
01:21:34.880 unconscious or
01:21:35.800 asphyxiate her and
01:21:37.580 then his assistants and
01:21:38.920 he would send her down
01:21:39.920 a chute to the
01:21:40.740 basement where he
01:21:42.820 would proceed to work
01:21:44.400 on them in fashions
01:21:45.840 that i try to explain
01:21:47.660 as as our real
01:21:49.320 american frankenstein
01:21:50.660 and and people as
01:21:52.200 you know glenn they
01:21:52.920 deny that that kind of
01:21:54.440 thing is possible in
01:21:55.460 america well it was
01:21:56.560 it was what do you
01:21:58.280 mean our american
01:21:59.900 frankenstein he would
01:22:03.760 invent um methods of
01:22:06.240 surgery on these
01:22:07.440 victims he would
01:22:08.440 conduct experiments in
01:22:10.720 torture he actually
01:22:12.520 had a rack where he
01:22:15.000 strapped a young lady
01:22:16.280 to it tried to
01:22:17.640 impregnate her so that
01:22:18.840 he could see if he
01:22:19.680 could evolve a taller
01:22:22.000 race of human beings
01:22:23.720 that's that's what we're
01:22:24.660 dealing with oh my
01:22:26.480 gosh so let me can i
01:22:29.500 go back to the first
01:22:30.180 question jeff when you
01:22:33.020 have somebody like that
01:22:35.440 in your gene pool did
01:22:38.080 you go through periods
01:22:39.940 where you're like am i
01:22:41.440 is there any of that in
01:22:42.960 me if yeah and i knew i
01:22:48.100 was different glenn i
01:22:49.820 never had i never thought
01:22:51.960 of murdering anyone
01:22:53.300 but i knew that you
01:22:55.520 know i had a temper i
01:22:56.580 had um angers i had
01:23:00.500 visions that weren't
01:23:02.420 wholesome i tended to
01:23:05.100 write those off as just
01:23:06.480 normal reactions of an
01:23:08.620 american male but then
01:23:10.860 when my grandfather told
01:23:12.160 me the secret and i
01:23:13.160 started researching you
01:23:15.160 know the hundreds of
01:23:15.900 books written about
01:23:16.760 homes i those those
01:23:19.840 tendencies i had i could
01:23:21.400 see they they had a
01:23:23.500 basis there was an
01:23:24.480 origin to them now now
01:23:26.400 i dealt with them in
01:23:28.520 choices he obviously
01:23:30.740 made different choices
01:23:32.180 and that's what i tried
01:23:33.240 to capture in my book
01:23:34.240 bloodstains so the guys
01:23:36.740 who are the people that
01:23:37.600 were helping him in the
01:23:39.020 murder castle tell me
01:23:40.620 about them well and
01:23:43.900 that's one of the most
01:23:44.740 interesting parts of the
01:23:45.760 whole story that hasn't
01:23:46.860 been captured he had
01:23:48.340 assistance law-abiding
01:23:51.340 citizens who he turned
01:23:53.240 into felons uh co-murderers
01:23:57.280 that actually carried on
01:24:00.640 some of his actions even
01:24:02.540 after he was dead oh my
01:24:04.200 gosh and and i think
01:24:05.820 that's that's one of the
01:24:07.160 things i admired about
01:24:08.340 your synopsis of homes how
01:24:10.200 how we need to dig a little
01:24:11.800 deeper into the story i i
01:24:14.400 think glenn if we studied
01:24:16.540 homes more precisely we
01:24:18.560 might be able to prevent
01:24:19.440 this from happening in the
01:24:20.520 future why why do you say
01:24:22.500 that i don't think we
01:24:24.640 understand his his
01:24:25.780 mentality we we tend to
01:24:27.280 write it off as a a
01:24:28.840 psychosis or he's a
01:24:30.120 psychopath those those
01:24:31.160 terms that we use that
01:24:32.440 mean very little in my
01:24:33.560 opinion that again
01:24:34.460 literally were invented
01:24:35.760 for him yeah yeah because
01:24:39.860 they couldn't describe him
01:24:40.980 and this this mind of his
01:24:44.320 why while we want to
01:24:46.080 believe he was sick
01:24:48.180 quote unquote i think it's
01:24:50.600 more towards the evil side
01:24:52.600 of the equation and that as
01:24:54.780 he said himself he was born
01:24:57.000 with the devil in him so he
01:24:59.800 if i remember because it's
01:25:00.840 been a while since i've i've
01:25:02.080 done that episode um but if
01:25:03.980 i remember right he had
01:25:05.280 piercing blue eyes and and
01:25:07.940 and was quite the charmer
01:25:10.100 oh he had hundreds of
01:25:13.160 mistresses uh as you said
01:25:14.620 three or four wives he could
01:25:17.720 seduce almost any woman he
01:25:20.200 laid his eyes on and these
01:25:23.640 women while besides being
01:25:26.440 seduced often became parts of
01:25:29.440 his cons around chicago and i i've
01:25:33.940 i've often thought of digging a
01:25:35.940 little deeper into the story
01:25:37.360 and writing about the women
01:25:39.160 that fell in love with holmes
01:25:40.640 and and one of the new york
01:25:42.160 times articles at the trial as
01:25:46.180 you know the jury came back
01:25:47.780 rendered him guilty and the
01:25:49.260 judge determined he was to be
01:25:51.560 put to death the the reporter
01:25:54.540 mentioned that four or five of
01:25:56.420 these women women stood up in
01:25:58.420 the jury audience and actually
01:26:00.760 had crocodile tears rolling down
01:26:02.980 their cheeks as he was let off
01:26:04.420 even when they knew what he was
01:26:06.400 glenn so there's a there's one
01:26:10.680 more thing before we leave and
01:26:11.880 go into a different chapter his
01:26:13.760 death you just you just had his
01:26:15.480 body exhumed and it's fascinating
01:26:17.440 we'll get into that but also you
01:26:18.980 have a theory that he is the
01:26:21.260 literal jack the ripper over in
01:26:22.940 london we'll get into that but let
01:26:24.980 me make one more stop he owned
01:26:27.240 several buildings in chicago and
01:26:29.640 one of them was a concrete factory
01:26:31.440 and it never sold any concrete why
01:26:34.760 do you think he owned that i know
01:26:37.460 exactly why he owned that he used
01:26:39.460 it to dispose of bodies he would put
01:26:42.440 a body into a block of concrete and
01:26:44.000 dump it into the chicago river and as
01:26:47.340 you as you correctly state he never
01:26:49.100 sold any concrete despite owning a
01:26:51.000 factory which which made concrete
01:26:52.820 how many people do you think doing
01:26:55.080 your research because they've never
01:26:56.320 been able to put a number to it how
01:26:59.100 many in your research do you think
01:27:00.520 he was actually responsible for
01:27:01.920 killing you know that's that's a
01:27:04.800 question that'll go on forever you
01:27:06.280 have you have historians state eight
01:27:08.720 nine thirteen he admitted to 27
01:27:11.080 although some of those were found to
01:27:12.700 be still alive after i i think he and
01:27:15.860 and when you get into his memoirs
01:27:17.540 glenn he lied about everything he said
01:27:21.080 yeah and that's that's the hard part to
01:27:23.420 take to accuracy and fact but in my
01:27:26.500 opinion he killed over 200 200 people
01:27:28.880 and how many how many were tortured
01:27:33.600 and how long did some of those last i
01:27:37.500 have no idea
01:27:38.180 okay so you start your journey and it
01:27:45.460 takes you to some pretty amazing
01:27:47.260 places places like my great
01:27:50.720 grandfather may not have actually been
01:27:53.040 hung that may not be his body in the
01:27:56.760 crypt underneath the ground we'll get
01:27:58.840 to you exhuming the body and what you
01:28:00.520 found because it's pretty stunning uh
01:28:03.040 here in a second but it also took you
01:28:04.520 across uh the ocean to london and you
01:28:08.760 found some pretty solid evidence nothing
01:28:11.200 rock solid but from some pretty solid
01:28:14.080 circumstantial evidence that jack the
01:28:16.800 ripper who people believed at the time
01:28:18.940 may have been an american was actually
01:28:21.860 your great grandfather and we'll talk

01:29:56.420 you're listening to the glenbeck program we
01:30:01.900 are having a just a fascinating conversation
01:30:04.940 with jeff mudgett he is the great's
01:30:07.100 grandson of hh holmes america's first serial
01:30:09.920 killer who if you do not know who hh holmes
01:30:12.700 is i'm running uh the um the history episode
01:30:18.080 that we did over a year ago on hh holmes
01:30:20.260 tonight on the blaze 7 p.m it is bone
01:30:25.140 chilling but fascinating you've never heard
01:30:29.060 an american story like this one um you can
01:30:31.780 find uh the book bloodstains bloodstainsthebook.com
01:30:35.560 uh there was an eight episode title uh a show
01:30:39.020 called uh the uh american ripper and this goes
01:30:43.420 to the great grandson's theory that maybe my
01:30:48.520 great-grandfather was jack the ripper
01:30:51.420 what made you think of this first jeff
01:30:55.300 yeah and and you know to set set it straight
01:30:59.280 right off when it's not a maybe to me he was
01:31:02.300 jack the ripper this is what i used to do for a
01:31:04.540 living and while i can't conclusively prove
01:31:08.200 it i don't think there's any doubt that if
01:31:10.500 you google if you google right now and you
01:31:12.580 google hh holmes and jack the ripper i mean
01:31:15.580 they could be brothers at least i mean they
01:31:18.400 look an awful lot alike you know and that's
01:31:21.800 exactly and that was a composite done by the
01:31:24.420 bbc and scotland yard who came up with an
01:31:26.800 identical resemblance and then we also did it
01:31:29.160 on the show so um i can only i was when i was
01:31:34.160 writing my book i was contacted by a gentleman
01:31:36.600 named mark potts from pennsylvania who's been
01:31:39.340 studying holmes and the ripper his whole life
01:31:41.460 and he he gave me some information i had the
01:31:44.960 initial response that everyone has glenn when a
01:31:47.960 new suspect as to the identity of jack the
01:31:50.620 ripper is raised we all doubt it
01:31:52.260 um but i started looking into the evidence with
01:31:56.720 an open mind and lo and behold i now have zero
01:32:00.860 doubt i even gave a ted talk about holmes being
01:32:04.200 jack the ripper oh i have to watch that and we put
01:32:07.900 that we put the vote the audience to a vote i swore
01:32:10.580 them in as a as my jury and we came out with 77
01:32:13.840 percent guilty so it's so give me give me give me
01:32:18.140 the high level uh case here that he's jack the
01:32:21.820 ripper all right here we go we've got a five
01:32:25.420 foot seven inch 150 pound 25 to 35 year old american
01:32:29.780 doctor with expert anatomical knowledge and
01:32:33.400 surgical skills whose appearance bears a
01:32:36.500 remarkable resemblance to the composite drawings
01:32:39.240 generated from live eyewitness testimonies
01:32:42.060 our suspect is a proven killer whose mo matches
01:32:45.500 subsequent jtr-like killings in chicago and new york
01:32:49.180 he was a remarkable writer with an intricate knowledge of how major media
01:32:53.840 worked and his handwriting is a likely
01:32:56.440 match to the dear boss and saucy jack postcard
01:32:59.220 which in the opinions of expert english linguists
01:33:02.980 were written by an american trying to sound
01:33:05.720 english i that is enough if holmes were alive today glenn
01:33:11.380 we could go down and get a warrant for his arrest to have him stand trial for the
01:33:16.520 murders of katherine eddowes and elizabeth stride
01:33:18.920 do we have any evidence that he was there in england that he had ever traveled abroad
01:33:25.000 um to england do we have anything
01:33:27.860 yeah during the show my my co-host amaryllis fox who was ex-cia trained
01:33:34.000 she went down and researched the passenger lists and found two or three with
01:33:38.660 one with the holmes name which was an alias which is hard to establish as
01:33:43.100 as direct evidence and then two other aliases that he likely used on the trip back
01:33:48.360 we also have a letter from holmes to his lawyer
01:33:51.780 stating that he was irritated with london because he could not
01:33:55.560 find his favorite new york newspaper every day
01:33:59.200 and that letter was referring to at the same time when jack the ripper was there
01:34:06.480 no it's a different time but we had already established that holmes had made
01:34:10.920 two or three trips to london in all likelihood
01:34:13.300 it's at glenn as you know when you're dealing with jack the ripper and 130 year
01:34:18.520 old crimes yeah if we if you and i went back in a
01:34:22.240 time machine hg wells time machine and we filmed
01:34:25.740 holmes murdering one of the victims we got blood we had dna we brought
01:34:30.780 we brought fingerprints back the ripper ologist would still doubt my theories
01:34:36.380 and that's something that's hard to get around when you deal with jack the
01:34:40.500 ripper although i think the show had a number of revelations including the fact
01:34:45.360 that we've now proven that the dear boss and saucy jack
01:34:49.040 postcard were not hoaxes as history has stated for over a century
01:34:53.660 what's an english lancet and what role did that play in your work
01:34:59.680 i'm not an expert on surgical tools i know those are those dealt with blood
01:35:07.340 letting of a victim i'm not sure it's one of the artifacts that you found
01:35:11.880 uh during the you know the american ripper that linked jack the ripper and hh holmes
01:35:18.720 it was called a lancet so i don't know the tools you're talking about were found
01:35:23.220 uh we when we went to indianapolis the site where holmes murdered one of his
01:35:28.020 partner's uh young children a horrible death we found uh we had a
01:35:33.600 some people come up with a box of holmes artifacts and inside those
01:35:39.380 inside that box of these artifacts was a lancet
01:35:42.580 from london which was a surgical tool okay when we come back they just dug his
01:35:50.100 body up and what they found inside the concrete crypt
01:35:54.500 next this is the glenn beck program mercury
01:36:00.740 this is the glenn beck program
01:36:05.060 jeff mudgett is with us the great grandson of hh holmes
01:36:08.960 uh he has written a book called bloodstains you can find it bloodstains the book
01:36:13.720 his great great grandfather uh was america's first serial killer he is
01:36:18.600 the guy they literally coined the term psychopath uh for
01:36:22.520 um they didn't know how to describe him people couldn't get their arms around him
01:36:27.680 because he was so evil
01:36:31.020 um beyond anything that really we have
01:36:34.360 you know i haven't thought of this jeff but i know you have
01:36:38.380 is can you compare him to anyone in american history i mean
01:36:41.600 i mean i wouldn't even put him in with jeffrey dahmer he's he's much more um
01:36:46.740 nazi kind of mangala kind of guy
01:36:50.920 yeah he gets into the into the the leaders of history that we consider evil
01:36:57.360 the hitlers and those the only difference is i don't know if
01:37:01.840 they murdered with their own hands they
01:37:03.860 made orders for those to do it herman enjoyed murdering himself he when he was
01:37:10.240 a teenager in new york kids started to disappear they they
01:37:14.040 they thought later that he had murdered his best friend by pushing i think if i
01:37:18.640 remember i pushing him out a window and then
01:37:20.380 posed his body and watched him die um and that's what started this whole thing
01:37:26.120 yeah that we tried to go back and research his childhood you know in new
01:37:31.880 hampshire and quite frankly we were unable to
01:37:36.200 dig up any um direct evidence in order to make a you know a statement
01:37:41.940 regarding when he first started murdering although
01:37:44.800 the legend from the time as you state many many people associated with herman went
01:37:51.120 missing yeah so he first went and he started
01:37:55.660 marrying people and uh you know they he would he would they would you know
01:38:00.320 disappear he would murder their children um he went to chicago he built this house
01:38:06.320 of horrors during the world's fair um and that's really kind of where it
01:38:11.080 became untangled you in your book bloodstains um you say that here's the
01:38:17.140 you know not conclusive evidence but some pretty good circumstantial evidence that
01:38:21.940 he was jack the ripper he comes back from london he's um it was that
01:38:29.500 before um he had started building anything in chicago around the same time what can
01:38:35.760 you line that up for me yeah that was before and the interesting
01:38:40.080 part about that glenn is scotland yard followed him back across the atlantic and
01:38:44.620 actually researched ripper style murders in new york and were interested in
01:38:49.900 similar style killings in chicago but i believe didn't have the budget to continue
01:38:54.400 their investigation so what we did on the show was to hire a chicago detective who
01:39:00.660 tracked down all the murders at the time and as you stated in your in your
01:39:05.820 narration hundreds went missing during that time yeah and lo and behold as soon
01:39:11.320 as herman was back in chicago ripper style killings went through the roof and then
01:39:16.560 when he was arrested finally they stopped and it what's um if you missed if you
01:39:22.240 don't know who this guy is tonight uh on the blaze at 7 p.m we're rerunning an
01:39:28.620 episode of his story it is the story of america's first serial killer and it is
01:39:34.220 mind-boggling um and you don't want to miss it i don't recommend you watch it with
01:39:39.180 your children um maybe your teenagers but your children your little children will
01:39:42.760 be freaked out of their mind because it is it's an amazing story um so he's in
01:39:49.560 chicago while he's in chicago he is actually looking for other places he
01:39:53.460 actually has a tie to fort worth um you know where our studios are we're in
01:39:58.120 dallas fort worth he was going to build a second hotel down here but they the
01:40:03.420 texans kind of caught on to him right yeah herman you're right he was going to
01:40:08.920 build a second a bigger murder castle except that herman's cons were finally
01:40:14.560 catching up with him right and he his assistants were starting to get jealous
01:40:20.620 of the money he had that he wasn't sharing with them they were also beginning
01:40:25.020 to grow scared of the fact that if you cross herman you ended up missing yeah and
01:40:30.800 and you know that can only go on so long even with uh assistants that you consider
01:40:35.640 uh very loyal so uh it caught up with herman and he was arrested for quote unquote
01:40:41.620 stealing a horse in texas wow so it was actually insurance investigators that
01:40:48.460 eventually nailed him on the murders right they were following um i can't
01:40:55.080 remember exactly you'll have to forgive me it's been over a year since i've i've
01:40:58.040 gone through the story again but wasn't it an insurance guy who was like wait a
01:41:02.120 minute this this scam is repeating itself and uh and and they seem to be tied to
01:41:08.740 him is that right is that how he got caught finally that's absolutely correct
01:41:12.880 he was the master of insurance fraud he started out blend by using skeletons they
01:41:18.980 they would call them resurrectionists he would dig them up he would change their
01:41:23.480 facial structures so that it couldn't be identified and then he would turn them
01:41:27.180 into insurance company and collect the often as much as ten thousand dollar
01:41:31.420 check and he grew tired of the digging up graves in the middle of the night and he
01:41:37.800 turned to murder more often so he's arrested he goes to prison in
01:41:43.540 philadelphia what was his prison time like was he was he popular was he like
01:41:50.220 jeffrey dahmer who have you know eventually was shivved um was he remorseful what
01:41:56.040 what happened to him in prison oh wonderful question during the show we
01:42:00.740 actually um interviewed the superintendent of one of the historical prisons in
01:42:06.760 philadelphia now and and she shocked us by explaining how holmes ran the show when
01:42:13.020 he was in prison he had his jail cell the doors were open he had reporters seeing
01:42:17.620 him every day he had a desk with his clothes hung up on the on the walls much
01:42:22.100 like al capone did when he was in prison
01:42:24.220 so you believe if i'm not mistaken you believe that he was not actually he never paid for his crimes that
01:42:33.200 he pulled a body double at the end and uh it was not him hanging by the neck there was no
01:42:40.120 um he was wearing a hood but i think that's the way they all were hung at the time maybe i'm wrong on
01:42:45.500 that um he he said that he didn't want an autopsy on his body that was honored and he was he was buried
01:42:53.120 weirdly and it was honored as well can you take me through what you think actually happened to him
01:42:59.180 i think you've explained it accurately i and there aren't many that joined me in this theory but i
01:43:07.200 believe he escaped execution and another was buried in his place and i was hoping with american ripper
01:43:14.620 in the final episode last night that we would be able to answer that question definitively and
01:43:19.860 quite frankly i'm still i'm still questioning what we found and how that matches up with the evidence
01:43:28.980 i have that it wasn't holmes okay so show me tell me what you found you dig him up he's your
01:43:34.800 great-grandfather you dig him up you want to have dna testing he was he was buried in this
01:43:41.200 sarcophagus this giant heavy concrete sarcophagus which he said i want to be buried specifically
01:43:48.060 between two plots and holy cross cemetery um in a concrete encasing he wanted that because he didn't
01:43:54.340 want anybody to dig up his body and do to him what he had done to others that's the story
01:44:00.540 is that true and what did you find when you opened the when you opened the uh sarcophagus
01:44:07.300 all right we had some archaeologists and anthropologists from the university of pennsylvania
01:44:13.080 doing the dig all scientific the judge that allowed my request for the exhumation demanded that it be done
01:44:19.820 not as a media circus but in the interest of history so we opened it up we took his remains to the
01:44:27.440 university where these archaeologists set them all out for us and quite frankly my first impression
01:44:35.320 of the skeleton glenn was that this wasn't holmes this this was a strange looking human being on the
01:44:42.300 table when all of the reporters had written story after story about what an elegant handsome
01:44:48.300 man holmes was that could seduce the ladies at his trial even yeah but i mean his body but he i mean
01:44:55.280 i would imagine he didn't look beautiful after being dead for over 100 years how do you how do you
01:45:00.040 mean you it didn't look right i mean what were you noticing well last night you could the archaeologist
01:45:07.080 discusses that the skeleton is too short to be holmes and that the bone structure represented this
01:45:12.040 muscular mass which wasn't holmes at all so they went with dental records glenn which matched
01:45:21.060 those of the physical given to quote unquote holmes before the execution by the prison physician
01:45:27.940 and what i've tried to raise over and over again was that wasn't holmes who was examined by the physician
01:45:36.120 and those those dental records don't match for a reason it wasn't him as a matter of fact that the physician
01:45:42.720 in his juma report states wait a minute wait a minute when he walks into the cell his quote is this isn't the
01:45:49.440 guy that's in the papers and the pictures this isn't him that's what the physician said glenn so i i tell
01:45:55.900 you what the mystery hasn't been solved yet have you have you done a dna test could you not i mean you
01:46:02.520 should be able to see if your dna is his dna the dna test was done it was sent to a laboratory in
01:46:10.280 london they're one of three in the world that can do ancient dna like we needed
01:46:15.400 uh in my opinion it's inconclusive uh history believes it was conclusive that's why they ended
01:46:22.540 the show last night as they did so uh well i'm gonna try to convince them into continuing the
01:46:29.320 series maybe with a two-hour special so that i can sit down with someone like you or maybe bill
01:46:34.480 o'reilly but we need to talk through the evidence piece by piece yeah and see see if we can answer it
01:46:40.340 well i'm fascinated by his story i'd love to help you in any way even if it is just matching up with bill
01:46:44.860 o'reilly because i i am fascinated by this story um uh the skull still contained brains is that unusual
01:46:54.260 for a body this old one of the scariest moments of my entire life glenn and they didn't show it last
01:47:03.300 night for reasons i've still i tried to get them to explain this morning but at the university i i took
01:47:08.940 the skull in my hand much like hamlet the scene from hamlet looked into the eyes and as i rolled
01:47:16.120 the skull in my hand it flopped in my hand and i was lucky i was lucky not to drop it to break the
01:47:23.960 skull to tell you the truth i grabbed the scientist by the collar and pulled her over and said whoa whoa
01:47:29.420 whoa wait what's flopping in my hand she goes there's nothing flopping in your hand and i said yes
01:47:34.480 there is here you try and it flopped in her hand she looked inside his brain was still intact glenn after
01:47:40.720 121 years any idea why no i asked her she had no idea why
01:47:48.220 this is bizarre the home the home's mystery continues weird wow you ever feel is this a blessing or curse
01:47:59.980 for you you know i used to think it was a curse glenn but now that i get the opportunity to go on great
01:48:08.900 shows like yours and explain to the world that that if we do this right we can prevent serial killings
01:48:15.600 in the future i think it's a blessing well that would be a noble noble goal and a great thing that
01:48:22.480 would come out of um of this horror but i i agree with you he was not uh uh he he was he was more
01:48:32.400 than sick and there was something um you know he said he was born with evil in him i believe that to
01:48:39.420 be true but there's also something else uh going on inside of him and if we can figure out anything
01:48:44.540 that would help others uh it would make this a sad story uh and horror story american horror story
01:48:52.540 at least have a happier ending the name of the book is bloodstains it's bloodstainsthebook.com
01:48:59.180 you can find it there you were going to say you know think about that brain preserved at the
01:49:04.800 university of pennsylvania and 50 years from now science expanding to the level where we can look
01:49:10.060 into that to see what he actually was are they preserving his brain yes
