The Glenn Beck Program - 8⧸4⧸17 - Don't embrace your anger (Bill O'Reilly & Andrew Lumish join Glenn)

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

00:00:08.100 Hello, America. A lot of things to cover today. It is Friday.

00:00:12.200 We're going to give you an update on Amy's fight to keep her children in Oregon.

00:00:18.660 We have an update on everything that is happening in Washington.

00:00:22.020 We have an update from a guest that we had yesterday.

00:00:24.780 This amazing woman whose son died in the biggest day of death for our naval special operations.

00:00:37.040 You'll remember it as, I think it was, was it extortion 17 or 18, something like that.

00:00:42.420 It was the helicopter where everybody got onto the helicopter and the Afghanis blew it out of the sky. 1.00

00:00:50.140 This happened, I think, six years ago.

00:00:52.200 This changed her life. She was on the television show with me last night.

00:00:57.860 And she's really going in a different direction.

00:01:00.480 She's, instead of hate, instead of anger, instead of curling up on a ball and dying, 0.61

00:01:07.620 honestly, and instead of, you know, getting up and saying,

00:01:11.100 I'm going to march to change Washington, she really has the answer.

00:01:16.040 And I spoke to her yesterday on television, and there was an amazing piece that just kind of came out

00:01:25.060 that we didn't ask her on radio yesterday.

00:01:29.820 And I didn't expect this answer.

00:01:32.420 And it is powerful.

00:01:35.100 We begin there right now.

00:01:37.360 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:59.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:06.460 There is something in, yes, believe it or not, I don't read Teen Vogue,

00:02:13.360 but I'm going to quote something from Teen Vogue,

00:02:16.060 because we have people on staff that read things so you don't have to and I don't have to.

00:02:21.540 There is a journalist, her name is Lori Penny.

00:02:24.180 She's the author of a new book called The Bitch Doctrine. 1.00

00:02:26.780 And she says,

00:02:28.840 Many women you know are angrier than you can possibly imagine. 1.00

00:02:32.460 Most are pretty good at hiding it, having been taught to do so since childhood.

00:02:37.080 One of the questions I'm asked most often when I give talks about my books on gender and politics is about anger.

00:02:42.660 Young women ask me how I get away with expressing anger with such apparent ease,

00:02:47.520 and they worry about men's reaction if they do the same. 0.95

00:02:50.720 These questions are usually veiled requests for permission.

00:02:53.160 Female anger is taboo, and with good reason. 1.00

00:02:56.900 If we ever spoke about it directly in numbers too big to dismiss,

00:03:00.800 one or two things might have to change.

00:03:03.140 Young women who will come to my events tell me that they want to be more forthright,

00:03:08.040 but they're extremely worried about coming across as too angry.

00:03:11.840 I usually reply that there are worse things to be.

00:03:14.800 Stand up for yourself if you assert your right to self-respect and bodily autonomy.

00:03:20.320 If you raise your voice above a whisper.

00:03:22.400 If you leave the house with a sweet smile slathered across your face.

00:03:26.520 Some people will call you shrill, scold, a nag, bitter, and a bitch. 1.00

00:03:32.400 That's all right.

00:03:34.860 She goes on to say that you should embrace your anger.

00:03:42.480 What kind of advice is this?

00:03:44.260 What are we turning into?

00:03:47.700 You should not embrace your anger.

00:03:50.960 Where is your anger going to get us?

00:03:55.060 And if I may just say,

00:03:56.760 I know this because it's what we fought against in our own self during the tea party.

00:04:06.500 We were angry and we all fought against the anger.

00:04:11.080 I shouldn't say all of us.

00:04:12.580 And what happened in the end?

00:04:17.400 Because they kept shoving our face down into the mud,

00:04:21.180 calling us names,

00:04:22.820 calling us kooks,

00:04:24.120 calling us crazy,

00:04:25.120 calling us racists,

00:04:27.880 because we said our states should have power and not the federal government.

00:04:31.920 All the same things that Californians are now saying.

00:04:36.020 That lefties are now saying,

00:04:37.620 hey, maybe state rights,

00:04:38.880 but they don't want to use that word.

00:04:40.980 They don't want to use that phrase.

00:04:42.580 Now they're pushing anger and we are embracing anger.

00:04:50.700 What one generation tolerates,

00:04:54.860 the next will embrace.

00:04:57.240 Well, we're embracing anger.

00:05:01.700 So what are we tolerating?

00:05:03.780 What's beyond that?

00:05:06.060 And what does that mean for our children?

00:05:07.720 So yesterday I had a woman on the air. 0.96

00:05:12.720 She was just fantastic. 0.91

00:05:15.500 Do we have her book?

00:05:16.180 What was the name of her book?

00:05:18.240 Anybody remember?

00:05:19.120 Karen Vaughn.

00:05:20.220 Yeah.

00:05:20.540 What was the name of the book?

00:05:21.740 We'll get it here in a minute.

00:05:22.440 World Changer.

00:05:23.300 Okay.

00:05:23.640 Yes.

00:05:23.920 So her son was killed in what I believe to be a government setup at worst.

00:05:33.160 Government corruption at best.

00:05:37.100 It was the largest naval special operations disaster in our country's history.

00:05:47.800 More people died in one day with special operations than ever before.

00:05:52.960 I think it was 35 people died.

00:05:55.900 That's 35 people into a helicopter.

00:05:58.420 Remember, this is the story where some of the Afghan advisors got off the helicopter at the last minute.

00:06:03.680 Well, we found out some more from her yesterday.

00:06:07.360 Now, you want to talk about a woman who could be angry? 1.00

00:06:11.160 I asked her because she has this, she has a plan to move women forward that I really think is right. 0.99

00:06:19.760 And I asked her, how did you not get wrapped up in the anger and the hatred because of your son's death?

00:06:28.060 Listen to this.

00:06:29.180 How did you, you obviously heard the speculation I have.

00:06:33.060 Right.

00:06:33.700 Navy SEAL friends who are beside themselves and believe that that was a, almost an intentional takedown on our side.

00:06:44.980 How did you not get wrapped up into that?

00:06:48.480 I actually did.

00:06:49.800 My husband and I have actually been very vocal about this.

00:06:53.120 He wrote a book in 2013 called Betrayed, The Shocking True Story of Extortion 17.

00:06:58.620 Because as we were, we were given 2,500 pages of military testimony in a debriefing that the families were brought in for in October of 2011.

00:07:09.040 And as we started reading through those pages, Glenn, we could not believe we could not believe what was being done to the men and women fighting for this country.

00:07:19.040 We were working with a group called the OCG, the Operational Coordination Group of Afghanistan.

00:07:25.220 They had eyes on every single operation special ops were running.

00:07:28.500 They had eyes on our flight routes, our landing zones, everything.

00:07:31.440 And yet military leaders told the families that there was no way the Afghans could have known where that chopper was going to land that night.

00:07:39.260 But the story is so broad and so complex.

00:07:41.680 I don't know if you've heard recently that the AC-130 Spectre gunship overhead, the fire's commander from that airship, has started speaking out about the lies that the government told the family, the lies the military told the family.

00:07:53.640 And one day, by the grace of God, Glenn, we will get to the bottom of what happened that night.

00:07:58.180 In my deepest speculation, we trusted the Afghans.

00:08:01.740 They were given intel.

00:08:03.280 We were given intel based on Afghan intel because the air weapons team said nothing was going on.

00:08:09.220 There was absolutely no reason for those SEALs to come in to make a really big story small.

00:08:14.080 And yet the intel the SEALs were getting was that it's so hot there that a second chopper won't make it in.

00:08:18.640 Get on one chopper, all of you.

00:08:20.100 So 30 Americans and eight Afghans piled into a single helicopter that night and were shot down by an Afghan that was in the landing zone.

00:08:28.880 An Afghan, by the way, that the air weapons team above requested eight times to kill before the chopper got there and eight times they were denied. 0.98

00:08:37.340 It's a stunning story.

00:08:39.020 And one day I pray.

00:08:40.340 You know what I pray the most is no for no monetary benefit to me whatsoever.

00:08:44.920 I pray the most that it's made into a movie so that America can really see what happened that night because it is a shocking.

00:08:51.420 It's a shocking revelation of what happened during the Obama administration to our warfighters.

00:08:57.780 So she did not.

00:09:00.720 She did not give in to the anger and the and the what could have easily become hate.

00:09:06.740 Here's a woman who has every right to be. 1.00

00:09:13.420 She told me off the air about a story I'd never even heard of.

00:09:16.920 She's like, you haven't heard this story about the the Navy.

00:09:20.180 I think he was SEALs special operations guy who had half his face blown off was in Bethesda.

00:09:26.820 His family comes after after healing, after a reconstructed reconstructive surgery on his face.

00:09:33.660 Literally, he survives getting half of his face literally blown off.

00:09:42.160 The hospital kills him.

00:09:45.160 Because they gave him an overdose of morphine.

00:09:47.320 OK.

00:09:50.880 All right.

00:09:53.160 Well, is that fixed?

00:09:55.640 No, no, because the hospital wouldn't admit that they did that.

00:10:00.480 It was the family that insisted on an autopsy because they the hospital said he just choked on his own vomit.

00:10:07.120 No, he didn't.

00:10:08.580 No, he didn't.

00:10:10.000 Yeah.

00:10:10.300 Yeah, he did.

00:10:11.040 No, he didn't.

00:10:12.500 No, there's no reason for an autopsy.

00:10:14.900 Well, the hospital Bethesda, our VA hospital, hiding this from the family that we don't need to know this because they're going to sue or anything else.

00:10:25.780 But because if you don't admit a problem, you'll never be able to solve it.

00:10:30.540 This woman has reason to be real angry. 1.00

00:10:40.720 Read something this morning from Psychology Today.

00:10:42.820 Is there an emotion that is more understood than anger?

00:10:48.500 Many believe that holding that holding anger in is bad for you, that it only builds pressure and has to be expressed.

00:10:56.600 In fact, sudden bursts of anger or prolonged anger are bad for you.

00:11:01.960 A strong emotion that is accompanied by arousal of the nervous system, anger produces effects throughout the body.

00:11:08.100 It eats away at your cardiovascular system, your gut, and hijacks your nervous system.

00:11:13.820 It often obliterates the capacity to clear thinking.

00:11:18.260 It may even grow in intensity.

00:11:20.260 Express it, and you're not better off.

00:11:24.820 Anger doesn't automatically dissipate by being unleashed.

00:11:28.540 Rarely do we experience a catharsis.

00:11:31.340 Venting it in words or action doesn't make anger easier to manage.

00:11:35.840 Often, it only increases the intensity of the feeling.

00:11:39.720 Anger feeds on itself.

00:11:42.060 Plus, by furthering aggression, it often brings irreversible damage to those in the immediate vicinity.

00:11:50.260 We're all angry.

00:11:58.900 All of us on all sides.

00:12:00.660 We're all angry.

00:12:02.840 And we all have a right to be angry.

00:12:05.720 You know, in reading that story from Teen Vogue, I want to be fair to the author.

00:12:12.360 She says,

00:12:13.600 Anger and hatred are different.

00:12:17.240 It's all right to feel angry.

00:12:21.060 And I believe that's true.

00:12:23.880 She says,

00:12:24.880 Anger is not the same as hatred, although it's easy to confuse the two,

00:12:28.340 especially in political climate where hatred of others comes easy and rational rage is met with mockery.

00:12:34.740 Anger is a feeling.

00:12:36.280 Hatred is an action.

00:12:37.560 Hatred is anger applied indiscriminately.

00:12:41.320 Anger attached to the cruel.

00:12:43.560 Rage we reworked into an excuse to lash out at another person because of who they are or what they are.

00:12:49.700 Anger itself is no more or less than the human heart rebelling against injustice, real or imagined,

00:12:55.420 and often it has a damn good reason.

00:12:57.280 Anger is a feeling.

00:12:59.600 Yes.

00:13:01.980 But I don't believe that we are a culture that has ever benefited from anger.

00:13:13.160 There's nobody.

00:13:14.220 Remember, Moses and Jesus, those are the two icons that our entire society, whether you like it or not,

00:13:22.480 those are the ones that built the Western way of life.

00:13:27.520 Now, we went wrong by saying,

00:13:30.180 and Jesus wants me to torture you until you accept him.

00:13:33.480 That's not Jesus.

00:13:34.960 That's you.

00:13:36.180 That's man wanting power.

00:13:39.460 And there's no difference between the Inquisition and what's happening with ISIS. 0.68

00:13:43.780 None.

00:13:44.940 That's man wanting power and using God to disguise it.

00:13:50.260 But in our culture, Moses, Moses, remember, wants to go kill all the Israelites.

00:14:00.320 He goes to God, kill them all.

00:14:01.740 Please, kill them all.

00:14:05.500 God says, back off.

00:14:08.220 Jesus never gets there.

00:14:12.640 Those are our two icons.

00:14:15.480 So, how can we say, embrace your anger?

00:14:22.300 I don't find that in the teachings of everything that built the Western way of life.

00:14:32.520 Psychology Today was really, really good in what they said,

00:14:36.280 that anger takes all of your reason and just chases it out.

00:14:40.400 And that's where we are.

00:14:42.340 We're all so angry right now, justifiably, that we're not thinking.

00:14:47.360 I read an essay this week.

00:14:49.600 I absolutely love this.

00:14:51.400 It's On Stupidity.

00:14:52.840 That's the name of it.

00:14:53.580 On Stupidity.

00:14:55.020 Letters and papers from prison from Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

00:14:57.860 On Stupidity.

00:15:00.400 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the Gandhi of his part of the world.

00:15:05.040 Listen to what he said.

00:15:07.700 Now, remember, this is a guy who is in prison because of Hitler. 0.80

00:15:12.580 He's trying to stand up against Hitler.

00:15:15.800 See if any of this sounds like anything we're experiencing as a society.

00:15:19.780 See if it's anything you're experiencing in your own circle of family or friends.

00:15:25.740 Quoting Dietrich Bonhoeffer,

00:15:28.500 Stupidity is more dangerous of an enemy than malice is to good.

00:15:35.040 You can protest against evil.

00:15:37.680 It can be exposed.

00:15:38.980 And if need be, it can be prevented by the use of force.

00:15:43.000 Evil always carries with it the germ of its own subversion

00:15:48.060 because it leaves behind in human beings a sense of unease.

00:15:53.880 That's true.

00:15:56.420 Against stupidity, we're completely defenseless.

00:16:00.160 Neither protest, listen to this,

00:16:02.740 Neither protest nor the use of force accomplish anything here.

00:16:07.300 Because reason falls on deaf ears.

00:16:10.300 Facts that contradict one's prejudgment simply need not be believed.

00:16:15.160 In such moments, the stupid person often becomes critical.

00:16:19.500 And when facts are irrefutable,

00:16:21.720 they're just pushed aside as inconsequential or incidental.

00:16:24.920 In all of this, the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one,

00:16:30.260 is utterly self-satisfied and being easily irritated

00:16:34.780 because becomes dangerous because they will go on the attack.

00:16:39.440 For that reason,

00:16:41.140 greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person

00:16:44.460 than a malicious one.

00:16:45.940 Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reason.

00:16:52.560 It is senseless and it is dangerous.

00:16:57.200 He's not saying that the Germans were evil.

00:17:02.580 He's saying the Germans had negotiated themselves into a place

00:17:08.160 to where, in such moments,

00:17:13.400 any fact that contradicted your prejudgment just wasn't believed.

00:17:18.580 When the facts became irrefutable,

00:17:21.040 they were pushed aside as inconsequential, incidental.

00:17:24.700 And then, if you challenged them,

00:17:26.780 they became angry.

00:17:28.240 And they went on the attack.

00:17:30.120 Does any of that sound familiar?

00:17:34.060 Does any of that sound like it is ringing true today?

00:17:39.040 Does any of that sound like anger is a good thing to add

00:17:44.720 in defense of the stupid

00:17:47.200 or in defense of righteousness

00:17:50.760 against the stupid?

00:17:53.520 Anger will only ratchet it up.

00:17:58.700 Except the fact that we're all angry.

00:18:02.160 But then what are we going to do about it?

00:18:04.060 More on this and others later today.

00:18:08.720 Also, Bill O'Reilly is joining us here

00:19:24.820 Mercury.

00:19:31.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:34.400 And it really is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:35.920 This isn't a cheap imitation.

00:19:37.640 This is the even cheaper original.

00:19:40.740 Behind our cardboard microphones today,

00:19:42.840 it is fantastic to have you here.

00:19:45.440 I hate to get you all ratcheted up with anger.

00:19:48.240 Here's Orrin Hatch on the raising

00:19:50.640 of the debt ceiling.

00:19:52.500 We shouldn't even play with that.

00:19:53.760 It should just be clean.

00:19:55.600 Some conservatives think

00:19:56.640 that they can get some programs cut.

00:19:58.580 Well, that's just not going to happen.

00:20:00.260 And we have to pay our bills.

00:20:01.700 And anybody who doesn't want to do that

00:20:03.040 doesn't deserve to be here.

00:20:06.740 Anger leads to hate.

00:20:09.580 Hate leads to suffering.

00:20:11.840 Suffering leads to hospitals.

00:20:15.480 Something like that, I don't know.

00:20:19.220 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:23.760 Mercury.

00:20:27.540 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:31.020 I saw a story about a guy named Andrew Loomish.

00:20:35.840 He was just featured on NBC News.

00:20:38.580 A 46-year-old guy from Tampa, Florida,

00:20:41.240 who happened to see the gravestones

00:20:46.000 in a Tampa cemetery

00:20:48.560 of these heroes.

00:20:51.880 And they were all falling apart.

00:20:53.720 I mean, you can imagine the mildew

00:20:55.740 and the mold and the stains

00:20:56.800 and everything else just from

00:20:58.060 the weather in Tampa

00:21:00.280 for all of those years.

00:21:01.680 So he went out by himself

00:21:03.280 and just started cleaning these monuments

00:21:05.800 and cleaning these, you know,

00:21:08.340 cemetery markers.

00:21:09.620 He's now cleaned over 500 monuments.

00:21:14.080 And he's a guy who's never served

00:21:16.020 in the military.

00:21:17.540 And what I liked about this was

00:21:19.380 it wasn't just some guy going out

00:21:21.060 and doing something that,

00:21:22.660 I promise you, at some point

00:21:23.980 they're going to shut him down

00:21:25.160 because of some environmental reason

00:21:27.420 or some stupid thing like that.

00:21:28.880 But what I liked about him

00:21:32.240 was the fact that he understood

00:21:35.400 and was connecting with history

00:21:37.640 because of this.

00:21:39.180 And I think there's something

00:21:39.960 really cool about this.

00:21:41.680 We wanted to get him on the phone.

00:21:43.300 Andrew Loomish from Tampa, Florida.

00:21:45.600 Welcome to the program, sir.

00:21:46.520 How are you?

00:21:47.940 I'm well, Glenn.

00:21:48.800 Thank you so much for having me this morning.

00:21:50.320 I really appreciate the opportunity

00:21:52.240 to speak to you.

00:21:53.060 Yeah, I'm thrilled.

00:21:54.440 I saw your story a couple of days ago

00:21:56.540 when it came out.

00:21:57.160 And first of all,

00:21:59.320 explain how you got into this

00:22:01.280 and what you're doing

00:22:03.040 and what you've discovered.

00:22:05.200 Okay.

00:22:06.000 Well, it's kind of multifaceted.

00:22:08.800 Initially, there's obvious reasons

00:22:12.740 and there's some reasons

00:22:13.940 that are personal.

00:22:17.040 Part of it was I love photography

00:22:18.720 and I photograph everything.

00:22:20.600 I ended up stumbling upon

00:22:22.040 a very old cemetery

00:22:23.040 that was opened in 1850

00:22:24.900 in downtown Tampa.

00:22:26.260 Oldest cemetery.

00:22:27.160 In this area.

00:22:28.460 And it was beautiful.

00:22:29.680 So I began to photograph it.

00:22:31.680 And then I went to a second cemetery

00:22:33.100 and I noticed the same thing,

00:22:34.540 the beauty,

00:22:34.960 the pure beauty of it.

00:22:35.940 But something caught my eye

00:22:37.400 and it was the incredibly poor condition

00:22:40.500 of monuments,

00:22:41.920 of heroes that served

00:22:42.960 in every conflict

00:22:44.200 from the Mexican wars

00:22:46.900 to the Civil War

00:22:47.960 to the Spanish-American War

00:22:49.360 and up until World War II

00:22:50.480 in Vietnam.

00:22:50.900 And I saw how terrible they were

00:22:54.300 and immediately it kind of infuriated me.

00:22:58.560 I was really upset by it.

00:23:00.520 And so what I did is

00:23:01.500 I began to research

00:23:02.740 how to properly restore

00:23:04.760 the monuments that are marble

00:23:06.700 and granite

00:23:07.860 and sandstone

00:23:09.020 and every type of material.

00:23:11.100 And I learned how to restore

00:23:12.840 the monuments properly

00:23:13.840 in the same way that

00:23:14.860 they are restored

00:23:17.580 in our national cemeteries,

00:23:19.220 including Arlington.

00:23:20.440 So I began to,

00:23:22.100 on my day off,

00:23:23.640 go to some of the historic cemeteries

00:23:25.820 and restore some monuments.

00:23:27.500 And that's how it began.

00:23:30.220 Okay, so Andrew,

00:23:31.480 a couple of things.

00:23:32.180 First, I'm ashamed to say this,

00:23:33.680 but my first thought

00:23:34.640 when I saw this,

00:23:35.820 my first thought was

00:23:37.160 how come he hasn't been stopped yet?

00:23:41.100 And I don't mean

00:23:41.640 because you're doing something wrong.

00:23:43.620 I mean,

00:23:44.500 there's got to be somebody out there

00:23:46.940 in the government

00:23:47.540 who can find something wrong

00:23:49.340 with what you're doing.

00:23:51.180 Have you gotten any pushback at all?

00:23:54.660 None whatsoever.

00:23:55.780 That's amazing.

00:23:56.340 I've been honored

00:23:57.760 by the Department of Veterans Affairs

00:23:59.240 because my story's gone viral

00:24:00.640 several times.

00:24:01.940 And they've kind of

00:24:03.340 piggybacked a little bit

00:24:04.480 because they share my story

00:24:06.220 and what I do.

00:24:07.460 I've been honored

00:24:08.200 by Governor Rick Scott

00:24:09.240 at the state capitol.

00:24:11.400 Actually, I was invited

00:24:12.260 and we had,

00:24:12.820 my assistant and I,

00:24:13.960 we had dinner

00:24:14.780 at the governor's mansion

00:24:16.180 after receiving

00:24:17.020 a wonderful volunteer award

00:24:18.640 from Governor Scott

00:24:20.620 and the Florida cabinet.

00:24:22.800 And then this week,

00:24:23.960 I was actually honored

00:24:24.860 by all the Hillsborough County

00:24:26.780 commissioners

00:24:27.400 in the ceremony

00:24:28.060 in downtown Tampa as well.

00:24:29.780 So no pushback at all.

00:24:32.560 So the thing

00:24:34.420 that really drove me

00:24:36.480 to get you on the phone

00:24:38.440 was one phrase.

00:24:40.560 Do you listen to my program at all

00:24:41.660 or do you know who I am at all?

00:24:43.380 I mean,

00:24:43.540 I don't mean like,

00:24:44.100 I don't mean like,

00:24:45.300 do you know who I am?

00:24:46.120 I mean,

00:24:46.540 have you followed at all

00:24:47.740 that I'm really into history?

00:24:50.180 And you said,

00:24:50.760 I do know that.

00:24:51.640 You said one phrase

00:24:54.440 that just sounded like

00:24:57.000 it was twice as loud

00:24:58.080 as anything else.

00:24:59.000 You said,

00:24:59.600 I'm uncovering history.

00:25:03.680 Well,

00:25:04.740 initially,

00:25:05.480 I told you earlier,

00:25:07.380 initially,

00:25:08.020 it became just

00:25:09.360 the restorations themselves.

00:25:11.000 But it has evolved.

00:25:13.580 And what I decided to do was,

00:25:15.760 I have a wonderful assistant

00:25:17.940 who helps me with research

00:25:19.040 because I'm very busy.

00:25:20.300 So she helps me

00:25:21.420 fill in the blanks.

00:25:23.220 And what we do now

00:25:25.260 is we use

00:25:26.580 different resources,

00:25:28.080 online genealogy resources,

00:25:30.320 libraries,

00:25:31.460 and we are able

00:25:33.580 to go back in time.

00:25:34.760 It's 2017.

00:25:35.720 So we're really fortunate there

00:25:36.780 that we can do the things

00:25:37.600 that we do.

00:25:37.980 So we're able to look

00:25:40.060 at an entire person's life.

00:25:43.020 So not only

00:25:43.760 will you see

00:25:44.580 the before,

00:25:45.340 what it looked like before,

00:25:46.400 the terrible condition

00:25:47.260 that the monuments

00:25:47.820 were in before,

00:25:48.760 but you'll see

00:25:49.420 the after picture

00:25:50.180 of the monument.

00:25:50.920 But we tell

00:25:51.520 their entire life story

00:25:53.060 from the day

00:25:53.540 they were born

00:25:54.160 until their final day

00:25:55.740 here on Earth.

00:25:56.600 We talk about

00:25:57.260 all their achievements,

00:25:58.640 their accomplishments.

00:26:00.060 I will say also,

00:26:01.620 I was somewhat torn

00:26:02.720 because

00:26:03.340 sometimes you uncover

00:26:05.720 some things

00:26:06.300 that may not be

00:26:07.380 particularly flattering,

00:26:09.180 but I was torn

00:26:11.080 as to whether or not

00:26:11.900 when we're telling

00:26:12.460 these stories

00:26:12.880 about these heroes

00:26:13.460 whether we should

00:26:14.020 talk about it.

00:26:14.840 And we all have

00:26:15.900 bumpy roads.

00:26:18.080 Nothing's a flat road.

00:26:19.420 Nothing goes

00:26:19.960 in a straight line.

00:26:20.940 So early on,

00:26:21.980 I decided we're going

00:26:22.600 to tell their story,

00:26:23.380 but we're going

00:26:23.700 to tell it in its entirety.

00:26:24.920 We're going to talk

00:26:25.340 about the human nature

00:26:26.320 and we talk about,

00:26:27.480 you know,

00:26:28.360 and we put it

00:26:29.460 in perspective.

00:26:30.420 What was the thing

00:26:32.540 that made you,

00:26:33.640 what did you stumble on?

00:26:34.600 You don't even have

00:26:35.080 to tell me

00:26:35.340 the name of the person,

00:26:36.120 but what did you stumble

00:26:37.280 across?

00:26:37.700 You were like,

00:26:38.180 oh man,

00:26:40.020 what was it?

00:26:41.480 Well,

00:26:42.340 there is,

00:26:43.840 there's a catalyst

00:26:44.740 to all this as well.

00:26:46.100 I have,

00:26:46.720 I did not serve,

00:26:47.580 however,

00:26:47.780 I have friends

00:26:48.440 who served.

00:26:49.700 I also have a,

00:26:51.220 I had a wonderful assistant

00:26:52.400 and he was 12 years

00:26:54.380 in the military

00:26:54.840 and I was his confidant

00:26:57.020 in a lot of ways.

00:26:58.820 And unbeknownst to me,

00:27:01.140 I really don't talk

00:27:02.180 about this much,

00:27:02.920 but I'm beginning

00:27:03.800 beginning to open up

00:27:04.540 about it a bit more.

00:27:06.600 He was a great guy,

00:27:08.180 super social,

00:27:09.000 wonderful guy.

00:27:09.700 12 years,

00:27:10.300 he was still a reservist.

00:27:11.380 He worked with me.

00:27:12.560 He was on my team

00:27:13.500 and one day

00:27:16.000 he just told me

00:27:16.680 what he was going to do

00:27:17.240 his entire weekend.

00:27:18.520 And he went,

00:27:19.960 he told me everything

00:27:20.720 and then I texted him

00:27:22.260 on a Sunday

00:27:23.280 to let him know

00:27:24.000 what his schedule

00:27:24.780 was for Monday.

00:27:25.980 Well,

00:27:26.300 a long story short,

00:27:27.640 he had PTSD

00:27:28.580 and he took his life.

00:27:30.760 And when I do

00:27:31.900 these restorations,

00:27:33.500 and I had no idea,

00:27:35.540 it was a complete

00:27:36.460 and utter shock to me.

00:27:38.040 When I do these restorations,

00:27:39.780 I think of him.

00:27:41.440 So not only do

00:27:42.600 I tell the stories

00:27:43.980 and complete

00:27:44.500 these restorations,

00:27:45.320 but he is always,

00:27:46.920 always by my side

00:27:48.540 because I don't want him

00:27:49.460 to be forgotten either.

00:27:51.120 It's very important to me.

00:27:52.400 What was his name, Andrew?

00:27:54.380 His name was Christopher Scala.

00:27:55.740 Tell me about the

00:27:59.240 World War I veteran

00:28:01.360 who died on the USS Tampa

00:28:06.780 German submarine attack.

00:28:11.660 Incredible story.

00:28:13.840 18 years old.

00:28:17.120 Lewis Franklin Vaughn

00:28:18.200 is his name.

00:28:19.600 He was born in 1900

00:28:20.600 and at the age of 18,

00:28:22.640 January of 1900,

00:28:23.900 he joined,

00:28:26.020 he ended up being,

00:28:27.680 you know,

00:28:28.060 in the Navy essentially.

00:28:30.800 And he served

00:28:31.640 on the USS Tampa.

00:28:33.060 By 1918,

00:28:35.020 the war was coming

00:28:36.820 to a close

00:28:37.640 and Germany

00:28:38.780 was getting desperate.

00:28:39.820 So all they had left

00:28:40.640 essentially

00:28:41.060 were submarine forces.

00:28:43.060 And they were not going

00:28:44.720 by rules of engagement

00:28:45.880 and they were

00:28:46.540 submarining all ships

00:28:48.420 going into England

00:28:50.040 and London.

00:28:50.860 They were torpedoing

00:28:51.940 just supply ships

00:28:53.060 that would be able

00:28:53.900 to supply

00:28:54.480 the United Kingdom.

00:28:57.060 So the USS Tampa,

00:28:58.960 what their job was

00:29:01.300 at the time

00:29:01.900 was to escort

00:29:03.060 these supply ships

00:29:04.320 to London

00:29:05.240 and all over the UK

00:29:06.260 to make sure

00:29:07.700 that they were safe.

00:29:08.920 Well,

00:29:09.500 a torpedo

00:29:10.160 on September 26,

00:29:12.080 1918,

00:29:13.800 a German submarine

00:29:15.160 torpedoed

00:29:15.880 and killed

00:29:16.380 everyone on board.

00:29:18.920 So

00:29:19.300 Lewis Franklin Vaughn

00:29:20.300 died on that day.

00:29:21.680 But the interesting thing

00:29:23.840 and the personal thing

00:29:25.860 on Mr. Vaughn

00:29:27.420 or young Mr. Vaughn

00:29:28.480 was that

00:29:29.800 before

00:29:30.420 he chose

00:29:32.380 to join the military

00:29:33.380 to serve his country,

00:29:34.560 he had three sisters.

00:29:36.900 None of them

00:29:37.560 lived to be beyond

00:29:38.480 14 months old.

00:29:40.080 And I can imagine

00:29:41.340 the conversation

00:29:42.540 he had with his parents

00:29:44.120 sitting at the table

00:29:45.540 in his home

00:29:46.260 and they already

00:29:47.740 lost all of their children.

00:29:48.960 He's the only one

00:29:49.920 who survived.

00:29:50.780 And then he was killed

00:29:51.400 by the Germans

00:29:52.140 near the end,

00:29:53.600 near the close

00:29:54.260 of the First World War

00:29:55.540 in September of 1918.

00:29:59.100 Is there anything

00:29:59.920 have you thought about?

00:30:01.600 Do you,

00:30:02.160 A,

00:30:02.400 do the research

00:30:03.280 on the person

00:30:03.980 prior to

00:30:05.040 or after

00:30:06.340 or while

00:30:07.160 you're cleaning

00:30:08.100 the headstone?

00:30:09.660 A combination

00:30:10.060 of all of the above.

00:30:12.220 It all depends

00:30:12.820 upon the circumstances.

00:30:13.900 So,

00:30:15.840 I mean,

00:30:16.040 it's a combination.

00:30:17.340 You know,

00:30:17.600 it depends on

00:30:18.460 the circumstances.

00:30:19.280 Every situation

00:30:19.940 has its own

00:30:20.940 set of circumstances.

00:30:22.900 Occasionally,

00:30:23.340 I will take students

00:30:24.260 with me,

00:30:24.800 high school students

00:30:25.760 who love to go

00:30:26.920 and I'll have them

00:30:27.960 step back

00:30:28.520 in the footsteps.

00:30:29.220 And it's always good

00:30:29.820 to know the history

00:30:30.560 of the person

00:30:31.280 in advance of that.

00:30:32.780 So,

00:30:33.060 I'll have them 0.59

00:30:33.720 stand in the descendants

00:30:34.880 who would have

00:30:35.440 stood there

00:30:35.960 at the day

00:30:36.520 of the funeral.

00:30:37.380 And we talk

00:30:37.960 about their life.

00:30:38.720 We talk about

00:30:39.240 what the world

00:30:39.880 was like,

00:30:40.400 what the United States

00:30:41.160 was like

00:30:41.500 when they were alive

00:30:42.240 and when they died.

00:30:43.480 And what's great

00:30:44.260 about it is

00:30:44.800 you always get

00:30:45.220 these bad rules

00:30:45.860 on millennials.

00:30:46.680 The attention

00:30:47.500 and the love

00:30:48.880 that these high school

00:30:50.740 kids from all

00:30:51.260 these different backgrounds

00:30:52.040 have for what they do.

00:30:53.280 They get out.

00:30:53.660 You know what it's like

00:30:54.260 in Tampa.

00:30:55.060 It's muddy.

00:30:55.880 It's wet.

00:30:56.900 And they don't mind.

00:30:58.180 They sweat

00:30:58.780 and they get out there

00:30:59.660 and they have a great time

00:31:01.060 and they learn

00:31:01.500 a history lesson.

00:31:02.520 So,

00:31:03.460 the negativity

00:31:04.280 about millennials.

00:31:05.260 But my experience

00:31:06.240 generally,

00:31:06.780 including my own son

00:31:07.800 who's about to turn 21,

00:31:09.760 has been fantastic.

00:31:11.360 It really has.

00:31:12.020 It's been a great experience

00:31:13.020 and not just for them.

00:31:14.400 It's very therapeutic

00:31:15.060 for me as well.

00:31:17.040 Andrew,

00:31:17.200 do you have a website

00:31:18.200 or what's your website?

00:31:20.440 Well,

00:31:20.720 we're working on it.

00:31:21.600 We're building a website

00:31:22.400 right now.

00:31:23.020 It's going to be

00:31:23.980 thegoodcemetarian.com

00:31:25.700 and thegoodcemetarian.org.

00:31:28.220 But right now,

00:31:28.960 we do most everything

00:31:30.100 on social media.

00:31:31.120 The Facebook page

00:31:32.160 is called

00:31:32.600 The Good Cemetery.

00:31:34.660 It's a very interactive

00:31:36.200 Facebook page.

00:31:37.440 We have wonderful interaction

00:31:38.640 from all over the world.

00:31:40.080 But the websites

00:31:40.980 will be up and running

00:31:42.380 in the next month or so.

00:31:43.880 We also have a non-profit

00:31:45.360 and we help organizations

00:31:46.880 all across,

00:31:47.680 locally for the most part now.

00:31:49.320 But we vet

00:31:50.200 military organizations

00:31:51.720 that do good,

00:31:52.500 especially for those

00:31:53.360 who came home

00:31:54.080 and they need that help.

00:31:57.880 I always think of Chris

00:31:59.520 in these moments.

00:32:01.160 And so what we do

00:32:02.640 is we help support

00:32:05.140 different organizations

00:32:06.600 so that they can achieve

00:32:08.280 the goals that they want to

00:32:09.280 so that they can make

00:32:10.140 the lives of those

00:32:11.080 who served our country

00:32:12.000 much more pleasant

00:32:13.500 and much more adaptable

00:32:16.160 once they get home.

00:32:17.940 Andrew Loomish,

00:32:19.240 a guy who was a photographer

00:32:21.280 who started something

00:32:24.720 that is now becoming

00:32:25.900 a life passion.

00:32:26.900 And I think,

00:32:28.200 Andrew,

00:32:29.500 I just have this feeling

00:32:32.640 that what you're doing

00:32:34.080 is way beyond anything

00:32:36.480 that you might even

00:32:37.500 understand at this point.

00:32:40.520 You've started something

00:32:41.700 really, really amazing.

00:32:43.560 Thank you so much, Andrew.

00:32:44.460 Appreciate it.

00:32:45.840 Thank you for having me

00:32:46.900 this morning, Glenn.

00:32:47.540 I do appreciate it.

00:32:48.800 And thank you again.

00:32:50.280 And thank you to all the men

00:32:51.520 and women who serve our country.

00:32:53.220 You are not forgotten.

00:32:54.700 You are so important

00:32:56.780 to the fabric

00:32:57.520 of our society today.

00:32:59.400 And we will continue

00:33:00.660 doing what we do

00:33:01.740 to support you all.

00:33:03.640 God bless you, Andrew.

00:33:04.540 Thank you very much.

00:33:05.220 I hope to actually

00:33:06.680 shake your hand sometime.

00:33:09.080 That's great.

00:33:09.840 Andrew Loomish.

00:33:10.760 Fantastic.

00:33:11.720 Fantastic.

00:33:13.120 Fantastic.

00:33:14.400 Just doing anything

00:33:15.340 outside in Tampa

00:33:16.160 this time of year

00:33:16.820 is a service to your country.

00:33:19.000 Oh, yeah.

00:33:19.260 Just walking from

00:33:22.240 your front door

00:33:22.780 to your car.

00:33:24.160 It really is.

00:33:24.900 I actually,

00:33:25.700 I'm pretty brave

00:33:26.700 and pretty heroic.

00:33:28.660 I went to work

00:33:31.320 once this week.

00:33:33.080 Not just once.

00:33:34.380 I left my house,

00:33:35.380 got into the car.

00:33:36.420 I didn't actually,

00:33:37.080 I made it to the parking lot

00:33:38.100 and then I thought

00:33:38.600 I have to get out of the car

00:33:39.500 and got walk into the,

00:33:41.340 and we don't have,

00:33:42.480 you know,

00:33:42.720 air conditioned parking.

00:33:43.700 And I thought,

00:33:44.100 no, I'm, no.

00:33:45.240 So I did,

00:33:46.400 I was at work technically

00:33:48.600 kind of.

00:33:50.300 And here's your purple heart.

00:33:51.660 Yeah.

00:33:52.260 I mean, it's bad.

00:33:53.460 What an amazing story.

00:33:54.960 I want to tell you

00:33:55.640 about William.

00:33:57.440 William lives here in Texas.

00:33:59.280 He wanted to sell a home

00:34:00.460 that he inherited

00:34:01.260 in California.

00:34:02.760 Now,

00:34:03.680 imagine the stress

00:34:04.760 of trying to sell

00:34:05.520 a house out of state.

00:34:08.780 William lives here in Texas.

00:34:10.000 He happens to be a listener

00:34:10.720 of my program here in Texas

00:34:12.100 and he decided

00:34:12.960 he wanted to go

00:34:13.540 to real estate agents,

00:34:14.460 I trust.com.

00:34:15.340 And his agent Brad

00:34:17.680 picked up the house

00:34:20.460 and said,

00:34:21.080 we'll take care of it.

00:34:22.300 Within a week,

00:34:23.360 Brad had a bidding war

00:34:24.700 going on.

00:34:26.140 William ended up

00:34:26.860 with $30,000 more

00:34:28.160 than the asking price

00:34:29.360 and the whole process

00:34:30.240 was completed

00:34:30.900 within a month.

00:34:32.180 I am so proud

00:34:33.380 of everybody

00:34:34.480 that works

00:34:35.400 with Mercury Real Estate.

00:34:37.240 This was something

00:34:38.020 that only my brother

00:34:39.160 and I,

00:34:39.580 Robert,

00:34:39.940 believed.

00:34:40.440 And this was a side project

00:34:41.840 that we were like,

00:34:42.540 we both felt passionately about.

00:34:45.000 He really felt passionately about

00:34:46.760 because my experience

00:34:48.500 was past,

00:34:49.260 his was currently going on

00:34:50.580 trying to sell his home

00:34:51.900 out of state

00:34:52.580 and just running

00:34:54.480 into so many hassles.

00:34:56.700 And we were talking about it

00:34:57.920 and he's like,

00:34:58.340 Glenn,

00:34:58.460 I want to start a company.

00:34:59.700 I want to,

00:35:00.100 you know,

00:35:00.340 if you'd help me,

00:35:01.200 blah, blah, blah.

00:35:01.700 I said,

00:35:01.880 absolutely.

00:35:03.240 So we talked about it

00:35:04.160 and I said,

00:35:04.460 if I'm going to help you,

00:35:05.200 you've got to vet

00:35:05.840 everybody personally.

00:35:07.460 I just want to make sure

00:35:08.720 that it's just really,

00:35:10.440 really right.

00:35:10.860 Well,

00:35:11.340 they went to work

00:35:12.320 and found,

00:35:13.120 I think it's a thousand

00:35:14.400 real estate agents

00:35:15.280 across the country

00:35:16.100 who are,

00:35:18.360 I mean,

00:35:18.580 when the stories

00:35:20.360 that I hear

00:35:21.340 make William's story

00:35:24.220 no big deal.

00:35:25.020 The story of,

00:35:26.000 you know,

00:35:26.320 a woman who was having 1.00

00:35:27.280 a hard time selling her house 0.99

00:35:28.360 and it was because

00:35:28.740 it didn't have curb appeal.

00:35:30.260 So the real estate agent

00:35:32.300 she hired,

00:35:32.960 out of her own time,

00:35:33.940 she didn't have to do this,

00:35:35.100 she came over 0.94

00:35:35.960 on the weekend

00:35:36.560 and helped this woman

00:35:37.900 paint her house

00:35:39.260 on the outside,

00:35:40.640 plant new flowers,

00:35:42.120 et cetera,

00:35:42.560 et cetera,

00:35:43.100 and these people

00:35:44.500 actually commit to you.

00:35:46.800 Now,

00:35:47.080 of course,

00:35:47.360 everybody's story

00:35:47.940 is different,

00:35:48.500 but we have had now,

00:35:49.980 they just made their

00:35:50.840 2,000th closing

00:35:52.620 on a house

00:35:53.600 at Mercury Real Estate

00:35:55.940 and the stories

00:35:57.720 that come in

00:35:58.380 are remarkable.

00:35:59.940 You want to sell

00:36:00.720 your house

00:36:01.100 on time

00:36:01.720 for the most money

00:36:02.840 and make it

00:36:03.540 a pleasant experience?

00:36:11.180 Glenn Beck Program

00:36:14.120 888-727-BAC

00:36:16.220 Mercury

00:36:17.660 The Glenn Beck Program

00:36:23.740 Welcome to the program.

00:36:25.920 So the boys

00:36:26.820 went to see Dunkirk.

00:36:28.960 You have your review

00:36:29.660 quickly of Dunkirk?

00:36:30.840 It was good.

00:36:31.560 I didn't like it

00:36:32.480 as much as you did.

00:36:33.060 It wasn't Saving Private Ryan

00:36:34.760 to me,

00:36:35.340 but it was certainly

00:36:36.700 well done.

00:36:37.540 I thought it was beautiful.

00:36:38.360 I thought it was great.

00:36:39.060 It was good.

00:36:39.780 It was really good,

00:36:40.520 but it wasn't

00:36:41.960 the greatest movie

00:36:42.860 I've ever seen.

00:36:43.640 Yeah.

00:36:44.520 I don't think I said that either.

00:36:46.040 You said it was one of

00:36:46.620 the greatest war movies,

00:36:47.600 I think?

00:36:47.860 Yeah, I thought it was.

00:36:48.560 I thought it was

00:36:49.200 that for me.

00:36:49.980 It was very well done.

00:36:51.280 For me,

00:36:51.520 13 Hours was way better.

00:36:53.340 I enjoyed that a lot more.

00:36:55.960 And American Sniper.

00:36:58.040 Yeah, those were great.

00:36:58.940 I mean,

00:36:59.240 Lone Survivor.

00:37:00.520 Lone Survivor.

00:37:00.940 Certainly Saving Private Ryan.

00:37:01.720 Those are hard

00:37:02.680 because those were all

00:37:04.700 friends of ours.

00:37:06.140 Go ahead, Jim.

00:37:07.120 Say you like a movie

00:37:08.180 better than Marcus Latrell.

00:37:09.200 Go ahead.

00:37:09.980 Just do it.

00:37:11.680 I want him to hear it.

00:37:12.960 I don't.

00:37:13.380 I don't.

00:37:13.760 Marcus, I don't.

00:37:14.600 I swear to you.

00:37:15.460 It's Stu.

00:37:16.920 Get Stu, not me.

00:37:21.680 This is

00:37:23.060 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:26.200 Mercury.

00:37:26.900 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:37:42.720 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:37:45.420 On demand.

00:37:49.180 Hello, America.

00:37:50.420 So, I'm thinking,

00:37:53.160 well, we've talked to

00:37:54.760 Bill O'Reilly last week.

00:37:56.460 So, we've talked to him

00:37:57.240 about Reince and

00:37:58.900 Scaramucci and

00:38:00.540 Kelly.

00:38:01.660 Holy cow. 0.89

00:38:02.400 No, that's all happened

00:38:03.460 in the last five days.

00:38:06.300 It seems like

00:38:07.660 the news cycle,

00:38:10.260 the news cycle,

00:38:12.080 anything with this much news,

00:38:13.960 it would have taken us

00:38:15.620 two months

00:38:16.300 to be able to gather up

00:38:19.340 this much news

00:38:20.760 in one administration

00:38:22.140 and in the world.

00:38:25.240 It's only been a few days.

00:38:27.620 We have a ton to cover

00:38:29.160 with Bill O'Reilly.

00:38:30.040 We begin there right now.

00:38:32.460 I will make a stand.

00:38:35.160 I will raise my voice.

00:38:37.340 I will hold your hand.

00:38:39.760 Because we are one.

00:38:41.620 I will beat my drum.

00:38:43.040 I have made my choice.

00:38:46.060 We will overcome.

00:38:48.360 Because we are one.

00:38:50.400 The fusion of entertainment

00:38:52.140 and enlightenment.

00:38:54.220 This is

00:38:54.880 the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:58.800 So, let's begin

00:39:00.120 with the drama

00:39:01.080 in the West Wing

00:39:03.080 that we have not covered

00:39:04.720 with Bill O'Reilly.

00:39:05.620 He has been covering it

00:39:06.600 on BillOReilly.com

00:39:07.880 where you can hear

00:39:09.280 his no-spin news

00:39:10.500 every day.

00:39:11.500 and you get it

00:39:13.920 without all of the bull crap.

00:39:16.020 Bill O'Reilly gives you

00:39:16.780 the news

00:39:17.180 and his perspective

00:39:18.520 on it

00:39:19.020 at BillOReilly.com

00:39:21.020 every day.

00:39:21.620 We urge you to sign up.

00:39:22.720 Bill,

00:39:23.620 how's your week been?

00:39:25.840 Beck,

00:39:26.320 it's been exciting

00:39:27.180 but not nearly as exciting

00:39:28.540 as yours.

00:39:29.340 Well,

00:39:30.000 I know.

00:39:30.780 I'm a younger,

00:39:31.820 more,

00:39:32.400 you know,

00:39:33.500 just a stronger,

00:39:34.600 better man.

00:39:35.420 Really.

00:39:35.640 Are you really

00:39:36.580 younger than I am?

00:39:37.660 I mean,

00:39:37.880 you look so old.

00:39:39.720 All right,

00:39:40.140 Bill,

00:39:40.340 you don't need

00:39:40.720 to get cruel.

00:39:41.400 Okay,

00:39:42.000 so let's start here.

00:39:43.920 We haven't even addressed,

00:39:45.680 you know,

00:39:47.900 Reince leaving

00:39:49.840 the White House

00:39:50.600 and its ramifications

00:39:51.860 plus Scarmucci

00:39:53.740 and then all the way

00:39:55.360 to Kelly.

00:39:56.160 So let's start

00:39:56.740 with Reince.

00:39:57.700 Your thoughts.

00:39:59.320 Well,

00:40:00.200 this is a very gutsy

00:40:02.340 move

00:40:03.320 by Trump

00:40:05.320 and that's what

00:40:06.000 everybody's overlooked

00:40:07.080 because

00:40:08.420 Donald Trump

00:40:10.120 is now,

00:40:12.340 has now

00:40:13.240 put himself

00:40:13.840 in a position

00:40:14.560 where if

00:40:16.200 General Kelly

00:40:17.240 were to walk

00:40:18.580 out of the White House

00:40:19.760 two months from now,

00:40:21.020 six months from now,

00:40:22.680 two hours from now,

00:40:24.820 Trump's done.

00:40:26.080 He's finished.

00:40:27.260 So he's given

00:40:28.300 his chief of staff,

00:40:29.980 General Kelly,

00:40:30.860 an enormous amount

00:40:32.040 of power over him

00:40:33.520 and nobody

00:40:35.640 has pointed that out.

00:40:37.080 Well,

00:40:37.320 we did,

00:40:37.700 but you don't listen

00:40:38.220 to my show,

00:40:38.840 so.

00:40:39.300 No,

00:40:39.600 I do,

00:40:40.100 but you must have

00:40:41.180 lost that.

00:40:42.560 Yeah,

00:40:42.720 you're usually sleeping

00:40:43.920 and then you get up,

00:40:45.040 you have your early bird dinner

00:40:46.200 and then you go right

00:40:47.100 back to bed,

00:40:47.740 but anyway,

00:40:49.100 so this is pretty stunning

00:40:51.260 coming from you.

00:40:52.740 You and I

00:40:53.320 have pointed out

00:40:54.340 me in a much more

00:40:56.140 loud and vociferous way

00:40:58.280 that the president

00:41:01.660 for some reason

00:41:02.800 has done a 180

00:41:04.380 and now

00:41:06.660 put someone

00:41:08.120 in a position

00:41:10.080 of power

00:41:10.760 that he himself

00:41:12.700 really has no power

00:41:14.460 over.

00:41:14.980 Very fascinating.

00:41:16.600 And the other

00:41:17.160 fascinating part is

00:41:17.940 that somebody had to

00:41:18.820 tell Trump

00:41:19.380 to do this.

00:41:20.740 He didn't come up

00:41:21.340 with it by himself

00:41:22.380 and I have not

00:41:24.080 figured out

00:41:25.240 who that person

00:41:25.900 is.

00:41:26.140 Well,

00:41:26.320 if you would have

00:41:26.640 listened to my program

00:41:30.620 and you would have

00:41:31.120 seen the chalkboard,

00:41:33.820 I could have outlined

00:41:34.480 the whole thing for you.

00:41:35.560 Let me,

00:41:35.920 in a nutshell,

00:41:36.680 say this.

00:41:37.760 My view on this,

00:41:38.960 Bill,

00:41:39.260 and I'd love to hear

00:41:40.060 where you think

00:41:40.520 this goes off the rails,

00:41:42.300 unless it's right

00:41:43.460 at the beginning.

00:41:45.520 My view on this is

00:41:46.680 Trump knows

00:41:47.620 that he has problems.

00:41:48.660 Trump had no love

00:41:49.580 for,

00:41:50.100 you know,

00:41:50.800 Priebus or the GOP

00:41:52.220 or any of it.

00:41:53.040 Knows that that's just

00:41:54.000 all a failure.

00:41:55.560 And,

00:41:56.080 you know,

00:41:56.460 in his opinion,

00:41:57.180 they're all making

00:41:57.980 him look bad.

00:41:59.540 And he's brought

00:42:00.400 them in.

00:42:01.940 So,

00:42:02.760 there's one kind

00:42:04.700 of people

00:42:05.460 besides his family

00:42:06.460 that he really,

00:42:07.860 truly,

00:42:08.460 deeply respects.

00:42:09.600 And those are the

00:42:10.120 people that have

00:42:11.340 a military background.

00:42:12.680 I really believe

00:42:13.500 he really respects

00:42:14.720 military men,

00:42:15.800 he respects the

00:42:16.640 discipline,

00:42:17.600 and also there's

00:42:18.980 something about

00:42:19.620 the way,

00:42:20.160 you know,

00:42:20.780 they pet the cat

00:42:21.820 because he is

00:42:23.120 the commander-in-chief.

00:42:24.900 They are yes sir,

00:42:25.980 no sir,

00:42:27.060 and it's all

00:42:28.060 honor behind that.

00:42:29.280 And I think that

00:42:29.880 plays to the thing

00:42:31.700 that he wants

00:42:32.260 from everybody

00:42:32.960 in a way.

00:42:34.660 So,

00:42:35.200 when he looks

00:42:35.680 at Kelly,

00:42:36.880 because I took it

00:42:38.120 as how would Kelly

00:42:39.680 or why would Kelly

00:42:40.760 take this job?

00:42:41.680 He has no skill

00:42:43.360 on Capitol Hill.

00:42:44.680 He doesn't,

00:42:45.280 I don't think,

00:42:45.800 have any time

00:42:46.920 to play that

00:42:47.620 kind of a game.

00:42:48.660 I think he looked

00:42:49.700 at this as

00:42:50.400 the White House

00:42:51.360 is in trouble,

00:42:52.440 this president

00:42:53.120 is in trouble,

00:42:54.040 meaning POTUS,

00:42:56.060 not Donald Trump,

00:42:57.140 not the party,

00:42:58.060 but the president,

00:42:59.220 my commander-in-chief

00:43:00.480 is in trouble.

00:43:02.220 I can bring

00:43:03.620 order to this,

00:43:04.900 but I believe

00:43:05.580 that Kelly went

00:43:06.360 to him and said,

00:43:07.260 Mr. President,

00:43:07.980 I have no desire

00:43:08.740 to do this,

00:43:09.660 but I will,

00:43:10.840 but you have

00:43:11.640 to give me

00:43:12.360 the control

00:43:13.040 of the White House.

00:43:14.020 And I think

00:43:14.760 Donald Trump

00:43:15.320 was so sick

00:43:18.380 of all of this

00:43:19.340 that he,

00:43:21.280 and respects Kelly,

00:43:22.560 that he said,

00:43:23.380 go for it.

00:43:24.180 But he has trapped

00:43:25.320 himself now.

00:43:26.100 You're right.

00:43:27.600 All right.

00:43:28.260 So,

00:43:28.480 number one,

00:43:29.140 I love the

00:43:29.660 Tessy Cat

00:43:30.360 Blofeld 007 reference.

00:43:32.960 Yes.

00:43:34.620 That's the most

00:43:35.460 important thing

00:43:36.080 of everything you've said.

00:43:37.200 Yes,

00:43:37.560 thank you.

00:43:38.000 Number two,

00:43:39.060 okay,

00:43:40.100 Kelly himself

00:43:40.880 doesn't really

00:43:41.500 have to have

00:43:42.240 any legislations.

00:43:44.020 duties at all

00:43:45.980 because that's

00:43:47.880 not necessary.

00:43:49.000 No,

00:43:49.180 but I don't mean

00:43:49.660 it that way.

00:43:50.160 I mean,

00:43:50.460 as a way

00:43:51.220 to be able

00:43:51.800 to go in

00:43:52.820 and massage

00:43:53.480 the party

00:43:54.340 and,

00:43:54.760 you know,

00:43:55.380 kind of work

00:43:56.160 all that.

00:43:56.500 He doesn't really

00:43:56.780 have to do that.

00:43:57.740 He doesn't have

00:43:58.120 to do that.

00:43:58.720 And I don't think

00:43:59.700 that's in the cards

00:44:00.500 at all for Trump

00:44:01.980 ever because he's

00:44:03.080 already blasting

00:44:03.820 a party over this

00:44:04.580 Russian thing.

00:44:05.280 Yes.

00:44:06.020 But look,

00:44:07.200 the reason that Kelly

00:44:08.340 was put in there

00:44:09.020 is to find the

00:44:09.800 leakers.

00:44:10.780 That's why

00:44:11.280 it was put in there

00:44:12.080 because you've got

00:44:12.460 to remember that

00:44:13.080 that Trump

00:44:14.020 got burned

00:44:14.540 on Flynn

00:44:15.160 bad.

00:44:16.260 So yes,

00:44:16.760 he's enamored

00:44:17.300 with the military,

00:44:18.140 understands that

00:44:19.140 success in that

00:44:20.160 arena can translate

00:44:22.360 to success in

00:44:23.160 civilians,

00:44:23.620 but Flynn

00:44:24.940 has been

00:44:27.540 Trump's worst

00:44:28.440 nightmare

00:44:28.900 and continues

00:44:30.460 and continues

00:44:30.540 to be.

00:44:31.420 So what I think

00:44:32.620 happened,

00:44:33.220 and this is

00:44:33.640 speculation,

00:44:34.200 I don't like

00:44:34.560 to do this,

00:44:35.120 somebody very

00:44:35.620 close to Trump

00:44:36.300 pulled him

00:44:36.660 aside and said,

00:44:37.420 look,

00:44:37.620 you're on the

00:44:38.000 ropes now

00:44:38.720 and if you

00:44:39.940 don't make

00:44:40.220 a bold move,

00:44:40.880 you're going

00:44:41.080 down.

00:44:42.140 Scaramucci

00:44:42.500 isn't working

00:44:43.220 out,

00:44:43.720 Prince Priebus

00:44:44.660 isn't working

00:44:45.140 out.

00:44:45.840 They think

00:44:46.620 that Priebus

00:44:47.120 is a leaker, 0.51

00:44:48.080 by the way.

00:44:49.280 They being

00:44:50.080 the Trump

00:44:50.760 insiders,

00:44:51.400 they think

00:44:51.780 that Priebus

00:44:52.760 is the guy

00:44:53.320 that's putting

00:44:54.160 everything out.

00:44:54.800 I mean,

00:44:54.960 whoever put

00:44:55.440 that transcripts

00:44:56.280 out on the

00:44:56.660 Australian

00:44:57.100 and Mexican

00:44:57.540 interviews,

00:44:58.420 that's treason.

00:44:59.680 That is

00:45:00.220 absolute treason.

00:45:01.600 And I'm not

00:45:02.120 saying that

00:45:02.500 from any

00:45:02.860 ideological point

00:45:03.740 of view.

00:45:04.460 You're basically

00:45:05.360 undermining

00:45:06.380 the ability

00:45:07.100 of the President

00:45:08.380 of the United

00:45:08.760 States to have

00:45:09.440 a private

00:45:09.820 conversation

00:45:10.400 with foreign

00:45:10.880 leaders.

00:45:11.360 I mean,

00:45:11.540 that is just

00:45:12.200 disgraceful.

00:45:13.020 I will tell

00:45:15.080 you this,

00:45:15.600 that it's not

00:45:16.380 treason because

00:45:17.120 treason has a

00:45:17.860 very high and

00:45:18.720 specific legal

00:45:19.940 standard,

00:45:21.800 but I echo

00:45:23.920 your spirit

00:45:25.280 of that,

00:45:26.020 that anyone

00:45:27.300 who is,

00:45:27.940 I don't care

00:45:28.380 who the

00:45:28.800 President is,

00:45:30.040 you are putting

00:45:30.920 at jeopardy

00:45:32.020 our President's

00:45:33.440 credibility and

00:45:34.500 you're exposing

00:45:35.460 private conversations

00:45:36.820 of another head

00:45:37.840 of state.

00:45:38.880 Really reckless,

00:45:40.200 dangerous,

00:45:40.780 and you should

00:45:41.180 go to jail for it.

00:45:42.000 Unbelievably

00:45:42.020 dangerous.

00:45:42.700 Yeah.

00:45:43.160 So Kelly was

00:45:43.760 putting in there

00:45:44.180 to stop all

00:45:44.900 this,

00:45:45.740 to hand-tick

00:45:46.920 a staff that

00:45:47.740 he believes

00:45:48.280 would be loyal

00:45:48.900 to Trump,

00:45:50.600 and that's

00:45:50.940 what he'll do.

00:45:52.040 But the bigger

00:45:53.720 picture is that

00:45:54.680 this is Donald

00:45:55.300 Trump's last

00:45:55.900 chance.

00:45:56.760 And I think

00:45:57.900 Trump knows

00:45:58.760 that.

00:45:59.480 I think he

00:46:00.080 knows that

00:46:00.740 when you look

00:46:02.020 at opinion polls,

00:46:02.840 and a lot of

00:46:03.240 people don't

00:46:03.640 believe those

00:46:04.180 polls,

00:46:05.020 because Trump

00:46:05.500 won the election

00:46:06.160 and all polls

00:46:06.800 say that he

00:46:07.660 was not going

00:46:08.440 to.

00:46:09.140 But when you

00:46:10.120 get a Rasmussen

00:46:10.880 poll,

00:46:11.400 a daily tracking

00:46:12.120 poll,

00:46:12.460 very friendly

00:46:13.020 to the

00:46:13.360 President that's

00:46:14.020 got him down

00:46:14.500 at 38% job

00:46:15.660 approval,

00:46:16.260 you've got to

00:46:16.740 take notice of

00:46:17.500 it.

00:46:17.780 And it's

00:46:18.160 logical,

00:46:18.640 because people

00:46:19.300 are just tired,

00:46:20.320 they're exhausted

00:46:21.660 from every

00:46:23.320 single day

00:46:24.380 having chaos.

00:46:25.920 So that's

00:46:26.500 what's going

00:46:26.860 on.

00:46:27.200 Bill,

00:46:27.400 why do you

00:46:28.040 think that

00:46:28.620 this is his

00:46:30.180 last chance

00:46:31.140 and that he

00:46:32.000 knows that?

00:46:34.040 Because you

00:46:34.920 can't govern

00:46:36.280 if your party

00:46:37.980 bolts.

00:46:39.780 And the

00:46:40.340 Republican Party

00:46:41.480 has pretty much

00:46:42.760 bolted on

00:46:43.800 Donald Trump

00:46:44.400 right now.

00:46:45.160 You don't see

00:46:45.680 a lot of

00:46:46.300 Republicans

00:46:47.320 going out of

00:46:48.240 their way

00:46:48.900 to make

00:46:49.900 his life

00:46:50.300 easier.

00:46:50.720 And the

00:46:50.840 best example,

00:46:51.620 and we

00:46:51.820 talked about

00:46:52.260 this last

00:46:52.740 Friday in

00:46:53.200 one of the

00:46:53.560 classic

00:46:53.960 Beck O'Reilly

00:46:54.620 conversations

00:46:55.300 here,

00:46:56.860 is John

00:46:58.120 McCain.

00:46:59.240 As soon as

00:46:59.780 McCain walked

00:47:00.400 into their

00:47:00.820 chamber and

00:47:01.760 allowed

00:47:02.080 Obamacare to

00:47:02.860 continue,

00:47:03.480 I knew that

00:47:04.120 was personal.

00:47:05.580 There was no

00:47:06.180 doubt in my

00:47:06.780 mind that if

00:47:07.500 George W.

00:47:08.420 Bush had been

00:47:08.840 President,

00:47:09.420 there's no

00:47:09.880 way McCain

00:47:10.620 would have

00:47:10.940 done that.

00:47:11.660 Because there

00:47:12.180 was no logic

00:47:12.900 behind it.

00:47:14.240 That bill,

00:47:15.360 McCain had

00:47:16.260 voted for

00:47:17.300 the repeal

00:47:18.220 of it,

00:47:18.900 then gone

00:47:19.720 back to

00:47:20.140 the House,

00:47:20.700 then back

00:47:21.100 to the

00:47:21.440 Senate.

00:47:21.940 You had

00:47:22.240 15 chances

00:47:23.260 to make

00:47:24.020 the bill

00:47:24.320 better,

00:47:24.760 to put

00:47:25.020 things in.

00:47:26.080 And all

00:47:26.600 McCain did

00:47:27.180 was say,

00:47:27.540 you know

00:47:27.680 what,

00:47:28.260 I hate

00:47:29.060 Trump so

00:47:29.560 much,

00:47:30.060 I'm going

00:47:30.360 to allow

00:47:30.680 Obamacare to

00:47:31.440 continue,

00:47:31.920 even though

00:47:32.220 the people

00:47:32.560 in my

00:47:32.920 state,

00:47:33.560 Arizona,

00:47:34.100 are getting

00:47:34.260 hammered.

00:47:35.180 So when

00:47:36.300 you lose

00:47:36.920 the ability

00:47:37.740 to rally

00:47:38.740 your own

00:47:39.160 party,

00:47:40.120 you're

00:47:40.280 through as

00:47:40.780 a president.

00:47:41.560 I hate

00:47:41.960 Jimmy Carter.

00:47:42.720 So let

00:47:43.080 me ask you

00:47:43.560 this,

00:47:44.320 because I

00:47:44.640 think there's

00:47:45.000 something else

00:47:45.660 to this,

00:47:47.220 and maybe

00:47:48.100 you dismiss

00:47:48.680 it.

00:47:49.660 You know,

00:47:50.360 I have the

00:47:50.740 same kind

00:47:51.420 of feeling

00:47:52.080 that with

00:47:54.160 General Kelly

00:47:54.980 that I have

00:47:56.100 to a much

00:47:57.720 less degree

00:47:58.500 with Rex

00:47:59.440 Tillerson.

00:48:00.440 Rex Tillerson

00:48:01.380 seems to the

00:48:03.040 average person

00:48:03.800 to be a guy

00:48:05.480 who can get

00:48:06.180 things done.

00:48:07.340 He's not a

00:48:08.060 dummy.

00:48:08.500 He seems

00:48:09.100 reasonable.

00:48:09.860 He seems

00:48:10.460 like an

00:48:10.900 adult.

00:48:11.500 The same

00:48:12.200 thing with

00:48:13.120 General Kelly.

00:48:14.020 He is,

00:48:14.480 with Kelly,

00:48:14.980 he is

00:48:15.600 legend.

00:48:16.800 I mean,

00:48:17.080 you just

00:48:17.460 don't,

00:48:18.220 you're not

00:48:18.700 going to

00:48:18.960 blame Kelly 0.88

00:48:19.820 on the

00:48:20.260 way out

00:48:20.700 for things.

00:48:22.360 But I

00:48:23.140 think

00:48:23.660 Tillerson

00:48:24.160 is in

00:48:24.700 this same

00:48:25.240 kind of

00:48:25.640 category

00:48:26.160 that you're

00:48:27.180 now,

00:48:28.200 you know,

00:48:28.440 you had

00:48:28.660 clowns around

00:48:29.460 you.

00:48:29.840 Reince Priebus,

00:48:30.420 he's a

00:48:30.740 clown.

00:48:31.480 So you

00:48:31.700 have clowns

00:48:32.500 there.

00:48:33.080 You get

00:48:33.620 those guys

00:48:34.120 out and

00:48:34.400 that's fine.

00:48:35.160 But when

00:48:35.520 you start

00:48:36.000 to get

00:48:36.440 to the

00:48:36.980 level of

00:48:37.660 a Kelly

00:48:38.200 or a

00:48:39.120 Rex Tillerson,

00:48:40.560 if they

00:48:41.020 start to

00:48:41.440 come out

00:48:41.700 and say,

00:48:42.120 you know

00:48:42.340 what,

00:48:42.760 which Tillerson

00:48:43.520 is behind

00:48:44.600 the scenes

00:48:45.200 apparently

00:48:45.740 saying,

00:48:46.980 this is

00:48:47.780 ridiculous.

00:48:48.740 This is

00:48:49.080 no way to

00:48:50.780 run a

00:48:51.100 country and

00:48:51.840 I'm questioning

00:48:53.140 whether I

00:48:53.640 want to be

00:48:53.920 a part of

00:48:54.340 it.

00:48:54.640 If that

00:48:55.500 kind of

00:48:55.880 stuff starts

00:48:56.400 to come

00:48:56.700 out from

00:48:57.100 people like

00:48:57.760 Kelly and

00:48:58.480 Tillerson,

00:48:59.520 I think that's

00:49:00.460 when he's

00:49:00.760 really in

00:49:01.620 trouble.

00:49:02.120 It's not

00:49:02.500 just the

00:49:02.960 GOP.

00:49:03.700 He can't

00:49:03.980 afford,

00:49:04.840 Tillerson

00:49:05.360 could go

00:49:06.100 and Trump

00:49:06.720 could survive.

00:49:07.400 Yes,

00:49:07.800 I agree.

00:49:08.360 But not

00:49:08.680 Kelly.

00:49:08.980 Not Kelly.

00:49:09.520 Not Kelly.

00:49:10.220 No,

00:49:10.500 Kelly goes

00:49:11.180 and then

00:49:11.640 the whole

00:49:12.360 Republican

00:49:12.820 Party is

00:49:13.460 going to

00:49:13.640 revolt against

00:49:14.460 the president.

00:49:15.140 So the

00:49:15.360 president's

00:49:15.740 going to

00:49:15.940 sit in

00:49:16.240 the White

00:49:16.540 House and

00:49:17.660 he's going

00:49:18.040 to have

00:49:18.980 two parties

00:49:20.180 against him,

00:49:20.860 nobody for

00:49:21.560 him,

00:49:22.240 and it's

00:49:22.920 over.

00:49:23.220 He'll just

00:49:23.560 sit there

00:49:23.900 as a lame

00:49:24.320 duck.

00:49:24.920 But Tillerson

00:49:25.320 has an

00:49:25.660 interesting study.

00:49:26.480 I don't

00:49:26.660 know much

00:49:27.000 about him.

00:49:28.820 Heather

00:49:29.160 Nower,

00:49:29.840 Fox News,

00:49:30.960 his spokesperson

00:49:32.260 at the

00:49:33.020 State Department.

00:49:34.220 But I

00:49:34.380 think what

00:49:34.600 Tillerson's

00:49:35.360 frustration is

00:49:36.280 that he

00:49:36.680 goes in

00:49:37.480 to negotiate

00:49:38.840 deals with

00:49:39.740 foreign powers

00:49:40.460 and the

00:49:40.740 foreign powers

00:49:41.500 basically don't

00:49:42.640 cooperate because

00:49:43.620 they think

00:49:44.120 Trump is a weak

00:49:44.920 leader and is

00:49:45.440 not going to

00:49:45.800 be there.

00:49:46.720 And I

00:49:46.960 think that

00:49:47.440 Tillerson

00:49:48.360 doesn't have

00:49:48.940 the power

00:49:49.600 that he

00:49:50.720 feels he

00:49:51.400 needs to

00:49:52.140 make things

00:49:52.700 happen.

00:49:53.480 I think

00:49:53.780 that's his

00:49:54.280 frustration.

00:49:54.760 I don't know

00:49:55.580 much about him.

00:49:56.440 He looks like

00:49:57.280 Bela Lugosi

00:49:58.040 to me.

00:49:58.720 But I'm

00:50:00.740 glad you don't

00:50:01.140 play on the

00:50:01.540 surface.

00:50:03.080 But the

00:50:03.980 other frustration

00:50:04.760 he does

00:50:05.300 have is

00:50:06.200 he has

00:50:06.760 not filled

00:50:07.420 many positions

00:50:09.780 in the

00:50:10.120 State Department

00:50:10.580 and according

00:50:11.840 to inside

00:50:12.480 sources with

00:50:13.120 him it is

00:50:14.280 because he

00:50:15.540 can't find

00:50:16.100 people that

00:50:16.660 will kiss

00:50:17.180 the ring

00:50:17.640 appropriately

00:50:18.400 enough for

00:50:19.280 Donald Trump

00:50:19.880 to approve

00:50:20.560 and the

00:50:21.260 White House

00:50:21.700 has been

00:50:22.080 blocking some

00:50:23.400 of his

00:50:24.000 appointments.

00:50:26.580 You have

00:50:27.040 secret sources

00:50:27.820 back?

00:50:28.280 No,

00:50:29.160 I've read

00:50:30.280 that from

00:50:30.620 several sources

00:50:31.380 and I said

00:50:32.000 that is

00:50:32.560 apparently

00:50:33.020 what's going

00:50:33.720 on.

00:50:34.540 Anonymous

00:50:34.800 sources?

00:50:35.340 Are you

00:50:37.540 really going

00:50:38.880 here,

00:50:39.260 Bill?

00:50:40.020 I'm really

00:50:40.720 going here.

00:50:41.820 I hate

00:50:44.800 this anonymous

00:50:45.360 sources.

00:50:46.400 I do too.

00:50:47.520 right?

00:50:48.560 But if you're

00:50:49.580 Secretary of

00:50:50.300 State,

00:50:50.980 you don't need

00:50:51.860 a big squad

00:50:52.760 and don't

00:50:53.560 tell me Tillerson

00:50:54.220 can't get

00:50:54.880 people from

00:50:56.040 the private

00:50:56.520 industry to

00:50:57.080 come over

00:50:57.400 and help

00:50:57.720 them out.

00:50:58.140 I mean,

00:50:58.400 the guy's

00:50:58.880 a former

00:50:59.200 head

00:50:59.380 exxon,

00:50:59.800 he knows

00:51:00.060 millions of

00:51:00.580 people he

00:51:00.940 could bring

00:51:01.280 in.

00:51:01.580 I'm not so

00:51:02.340 sure that's

00:51:03.160 asking.

00:51:03.700 Let me

00:51:06.460 rephrase

00:51:06.900 this.

00:51:08.720 I got

00:51:09.280 the impression

00:51:09.940 that it

00:51:10.500 was the

00:51:10.920 White

00:51:11.200 House.

00:51:11.740 I shouldn't

00:51:12.340 say that it

00:51:12.740 was Trump

00:51:13.240 himself.

00:51:14.000 It might

00:51:14.460 have been

00:51:14.780 Reince or

00:51:15.380 whatever,

00:51:15.900 that there

00:51:16.360 was this

00:51:16.780 struggle

00:51:17.300 internally

00:51:18.160 that could 0.68

00:51:19.200 never agree

00:51:20.300 on,

00:51:21.600 okay,

00:51:21.980 yes,

00:51:22.720 where usually

00:51:23.400 somebody like

00:51:24.160 that can

00:51:24.880 just appoint

00:51:25.460 who they

00:51:25.840 need and

00:51:26.420 move on,

00:51:27.120 that it was

00:51:27.560 all going

00:51:27.960 through the

00:51:28.280 White House

00:51:28.620 and getting

00:51:29.000 muddied up.

00:51:29.940 Maybe that

00:51:30.460 might be true.

00:51:31.040 I just

00:51:32.100 don't know.

00:51:32.920 Let me

00:51:33.240 switch topics.

00:51:34.480 I'm going

00:51:34.640 to give

00:51:34.900 you the

00:51:35.360 question,

00:51:37.080 then we'll

00:51:37.260 come back

00:51:37.720 for your

00:51:38.040 answer.

00:51:38.860 I want to

00:51:40.060 stay on

00:51:40.320 Rex for

00:51:40.760 one more

00:51:41.400 question,

00:51:42.020 and that

00:51:42.260 is,

00:51:43.140 did you

00:51:43.840 see the

00:51:44.360 statement

00:51:44.700 that he

00:51:45.120 made about

00:51:45.660 North Korea

00:51:46.540 this week?

00:51:48.320 And if

00:51:48.740 you believe

00:51:50.200 him on

00:51:51.620 North Korea

00:51:52.360 and you

00:51:53.560 take into

00:51:54.220 consideration

00:51:54.800 what you

00:51:55.300 just said

00:51:56.260 about people

00:51:57.680 think that

00:51:58.240 Trump is a

00:51:59.060 lame duck

00:51:59.460 president and

00:52:00.160 so Tillerson

00:52:00.920 doesn't have

00:52:01.700 the clout or

00:52:03.220 credibility to

00:52:04.000 do what he

00:52:04.780 has to do,

00:52:05.820 what does

00:52:06.380 that mean in

00:52:07.140 regard to that

00:52:07.900 statement?

00:52:08.360 We'll get

00:52:08.600 Bill O'Reilly's

00:52:09.360 comment on that

00:52:10.500 when we come

00:52:11.140 back and so

00:52:11.840 much more to

00:52:12.320 cover with him.

00:52:12.980 By the way,

00:52:13.460 you can hear

00:52:13.800 him every day

00:52:14.620 at BillO'Reilly.com.

00:52:16.040 That's BillO'Reilly.com.

00:52:17.440 Last week in

00:52:18.340 Chicago, a woman 0.84

00:52:20.280 was carjacked.

00:52:21.060 Now, this is a

00:52:21.440 quiet suburb.

00:52:23.140 Now, she's a

00:52:23.760 concealed carry

00:52:24.460 permit holder,

00:52:25.280 so she's got a 0.99

00:52:26.060 gun.

00:52:26.840 She drew her

00:52:27.540 gun.

00:52:28.080 She acted to

00:52:28.760 defend herself.

00:52:29.560 when the local

00:52:31.060 residents found

00:52:32.520 out about this

00:52:33.160 story, they all

00:52:33.780 turned on her

00:52:34.500 and said that

00:52:35.600 she was to

00:52:36.860 blame.

00:52:37.460 Now, here's the

00:52:37.860 thing.

00:52:38.340 She never fired

00:52:39.180 a shot.

00:52:40.480 All she did,

00:52:42.540 she is carjacked,

00:52:46.880 she's by herself,

00:52:48.580 she draws her

00:52:49.820 weapon to protect

00:52:51.380 herself, and the

00:52:53.220 community turns on

00:52:54.160 her and says she's

00:52:54.920 the problem.

00:52:55.780 That's the kind

00:52:56.360 of world we're

00:52:56.820 living in.

00:52:58.060 You, the

00:52:58.560 protector, that's

00:53:00.360 why you have a

00:53:00.800 gun.

00:53:01.480 You're protecting

00:53:02.000 yourself, you're

00:53:02.540 protecting your

00:53:03.040 family.

00:53:04.020 I don't care, you

00:53:04.560 take my wallet.

00:53:06.200 Don't take my

00:53:06.860 life, don't take

00:53:07.860 my family, don't

00:53:11.000 even begin to

00:53:12.800 come close to

00:53:13.420 that, because I'll

00:53:14.480 shoot you dead. 0.99

00:53:17.340 That's what she

00:53:18.080 had.

00:53:18.480 That's why she has

00:53:19.380 that gun.

00:53:19.700 She wants to

00:53:20.300 protect herself and

00:53:22.160 others.

00:53:22.980 Well, who's

00:53:23.620 protecting the

00:53:24.380 protector?

00:53:26.060 I want you to

00:53:26.980 go to protect

00:53:28.040 and defend.com, and

00:53:29.340 I want you to

00:53:29.760 learn about the

00:53:30.340 USCCA.

00:53:32.040 They are the

00:53:32.980 protectors of the

00:53:34.400 protectors.

00:53:35.160 They're the ones,

00:53:35.880 because once the

00:53:36.380 bad guy goes away

00:53:37.240 that's wearing a

00:53:37.800 mask, other bad

00:53:39.000 guys show up, and

00:53:40.060 they have suits and

00:53:41.460 briefcases, and

00:53:42.800 they're going to

00:53:43.180 take you to court,

00:53:44.140 and they're going to

00:53:45.420 drag this thing out.

00:53:46.640 It's usually about

00:53:47.320 three years if you

00:53:48.280 have to, God

00:53:48.760 forbid, you fire your

00:53:49.640 gun, but if you've

00:53:51.300 drawn your weapon,

00:53:52.380 they can usually drag

00:53:53.500 it out for about

00:53:54.020 three years.

00:53:54.720 You'll be broke

00:53:55.320 by the end, unless

00:53:57.020 you have protection.

00:54:00.360 That's where the

00:54:01.500 USCCA comes in.

00:54:03.280 They will protect

00:54:04.260 you.

00:54:04.620 They will cover the

00:54:05.540 legal side of

00:54:07.340 everything, so your

00:54:08.620 life isn't destroyed.

00:54:10.320 Go to

00:54:12.000 Learn all about it.

00:54:21.160 Mercury.

00:54:24.020 Back with Bill O'Reilly

00:54:29.360 from billoreilly.com.

00:54:31.460 This week, Rex Tillerson

00:54:33.480 came out, made a

00:54:34.760 statement on and to

00:54:36.360 North Korea that said

00:54:37.480 we're willing to sit

00:54:38.340 down at the negotiating

00:54:39.360 table.

00:54:40.360 We need to have

00:54:41.040 face-to-face talks, but

00:54:42.500 what we are in right

00:54:44.300 now is an intolerable

00:54:46.300 situation.

00:54:47.500 It cannot stand, it

00:54:49.420 will not stand, and if

00:54:50.780 you don't come to the

00:54:51.660 table, military

00:54:53.420 options, I don't

00:54:56.480 want to, I mean, he

00:54:57.680 led us to believe that

00:54:59.100 military options will

00:55:00.620 have to be used.

00:55:02.400 Bill, what did you

00:55:03.260 think about that

00:55:03.980 statement first?

00:55:05.200 And second, tie that

00:55:07.560 to what you said

00:55:08.400 earlier about Rex

00:55:09.260 Tillerson sitting

00:55:11.040 down at the table with

00:55:11.840 world leaders and them

00:55:13.100 kind of laughing at him

00:55:13.940 because they don't

00:55:14.800 think Trump's going to

00:55:15.540 last.

00:55:15.880 Well, first of all, I

00:55:18.580 don't think saber

00:55:19.220 rattling is effective

00:55:22.080 with North Korea or

00:55:24.240 Iran or any of these 0.96

00:55:25.320 countries that are run

00:55:26.920 by insane people. 0.51

00:55:28.480 You know, I mean, if

00:55:29.760 they were rational

00:55:30.960 people, they wouldn't

00:55:32.080 be doing what they're

00:55:32.700 doing.

00:55:33.320 So saber rattling, you 0.78

00:55:35.040 know, basically helps

00:55:36.040 them and empowers

00:55:37.000 them.

00:55:38.500 So that's number one.

00:55:39.740 That was a mistake by

00:55:40.900 old Rex.

00:55:42.560 Number two, Trump is

00:55:45.280 absolutely capable of

00:55:47.000 dropping whatever he

00:55:47.980 has to drop by

00:55:48.820 George Floyd.

00:55:49.800 I mean, if they don't

00:55:51.780 think he is, you know,

00:55:54.140 just the Syrian thing 0.95

00:55:55.380 showed that, you know,

00:55:56.900 if Mathis goes in

00:55:58.980 there and says, look,

00:56:00.640 we need to teach these

00:56:01.460 guys a lesson, Trump's

00:56:02.720 going to do it.

00:56:04.000 He's not Barack Obama

00:56:05.400 who would ever, no

00:56:06.660 matter what.

00:56:07.580 So I think that's clear

00:56:09.060 to everybody in the

00:56:09.900 world.

00:56:10.500 I don't think he has to

00:56:11.440 you know, if the

00:56:12.200 situation isn't, you

00:56:15.260 intolerable that the

00:56:16.340 North Koreans are 1.00

00:56:17.920 making weapons that

00:56:21.720 can be used to harm

00:56:23.600 us, the United States,

00:56:25.260 then basically you're

00:56:27.160 going to have to send a

00:56:27.840 couple of carriers to

00:56:30.260 park right off the coast

00:56:31.940 of North Korea.

00:56:32.720 They're already there.

00:56:33.520 Number one.

00:56:34.180 Yeah.

00:56:34.560 No, but they're not

00:56:35.440 there in the sense that

00:56:36.980 they're threatening.

00:56:38.540 They're cruising around.

00:56:40.300 You know, there's ways to

00:56:41.560 do this kind of stuff.

00:56:42.620 A B-1B bomber, you 0.97

00:56:45.220 know, was cruising the

00:56:47.840 skies in a very

00:56:48.900 threatening way last

00:56:49.820 weekend after the

00:56:50.640 missile launch.

00:56:51.280 I mean, you know.

00:56:52.240 I think it was more

00:56:52.660 provocative than

00:56:53.520 threatening.

00:56:54.500 I mean, they're

00:56:54.900 basically sending a

00:56:55.760 message.

00:56:56.240 Yes.

00:56:56.840 We can do this.

00:56:57.500 We can do whatever we

00:56:58.340 want to at any time.

00:56:59.600 Yes.

00:57:00.040 But I think you've got

00:57:00.940 to, you know, the next

00:57:01.780 time that they do any

00:57:03.620 kind of a launch, then

00:57:05.320 something's got to

00:57:06.820 happen in the sense

00:57:07.940 that a blockade or

00:57:09.960 or whatever, just a

00:57:11.480 symbolic action.

00:57:12.680 Okay.

00:57:13.480 So, Bill, I'm going to

00:57:14.980 take a break and I want

00:57:15.920 to come back.

00:57:16.380 I want to ask you about

00:57:17.240 the immigration reform

00:57:18.880 and what's happened, the

00:57:20.140 Russia sanctions and

00:57:22.000 what happened with that.

00:57:24.560 But I also want to talk

00:57:26.060 about something that

00:57:26.880 I'm actually glad.

00:57:29.160 I mean, the president

00:57:29.660 came out and said,

00:57:30.360 we're losing the war in

00:57:31.240 Afghanistan and I'm

00:57:32.420 sitting around with a,

00:57:33.240 you know, a group of

00:57:34.380 monkeys here in general

00:57:35.780 hats.

00:57:36.980 What are we doing?

00:57:37.960 And I actually am glad

00:57:39.460 the president has finally

00:57:40.980 said, what are we doing

00:57:42.340 after 17 years in

00:57:44.140 Afghanistan?

00:57:45.220 I'd like to get your

00:57:46.020 thoughts on that.

00:57:46.720 When we come back, Bill

00:57:47.900 O'Reilly from

00:57:48.900 BillOReilly.com.

00:57:52.700 The Glenn Beck

00:57:53.920 program.

00:57:56.280 Mercury.

00:58:00.200 This is the Glenn Beck

00:58:01.740 program.

00:58:02.900 All right.

00:58:03.620 So let's let's go back

00:58:05.060 to Bill O'Reilly from

00:58:06.220 BillOReilly.com.

00:58:08.700 Let's let's start here

00:58:10.320 with the president in a

00:58:13.400 meeting with generals,

00:58:14.560 apparently a very

00:58:16.480 uncomfortable meeting in

00:58:17.440 the situation room coming

00:58:18.440 out and saying, we're

00:58:19.100 losing the war in

00:58:20.100 Afghanistan and I'd rather 0.54

00:58:21.900 talk to the guys on the

00:58:23.780 ground than you clowns

00:58:25.500 saying this to the

00:58:26.600 general.

00:58:27.820 I cheer.

00:58:29.380 I am so happy to hear

00:58:31.420 that.

00:58:31.800 I don't know who is in

00:58:32.820 the room.

00:58:33.320 I don't know if

00:58:34.220 they're all clowns or

00:58:36.120 not, but it is about

00:58:37.540 time somebody says, what

00:58:39.720 the hell are we even

00:58:41.280 doing besides getting

00:58:44.020 into the middle of, you

00:58:46.380 know, a prohibition

00:58:48.140 situation in the poppy

00:58:50.180 fields in Afghanistan?

00:58:52.120 What the hell are we even

00:58:52.980 doing there anymore?

00:58:54.840 Finish it and come home.

00:58:56.460 Bill.

00:58:57.660 All right.

00:58:58.100 But they can't finish it

00:58:59.140 because they they being

00:59:01.860 NATO forces primarily

00:59:03.460 backed by Americans are

00:59:05.600 incapable of imposing an

00:59:07.660 orderly society on a

00:59:09.020 primitive society.

00:59:10.020 When I went to Afghanistan

00:59:11.520 back, I was flying in

00:59:14.120 from London on a private

00:59:15.560 plane and the pilot said

00:59:18.420 to me, we're going to land

00:59:19.520 in 10 minutes.

00:59:20.480 And I was in the cockpit

00:59:21.680 with the pilot co-pilot and

00:59:23.540 I looked at it was black and

00:59:25.580 I said, what do you mean

00:59:26.140 we're going to land?

00:59:26.780 Where are we going to land?

00:59:27.760 He goes, we're going to

00:59:28.240 land in Kabul in Afghanistan

00:59:30.060 at Bagram.

00:59:31.200 And it was one light in the

00:59:32.820 whole country.

00:59:33.480 I said, well, where are the

00:59:34.160 lights?

00:59:34.500 He goes, they don't have

00:59:35.080 electricity.

00:59:36.560 They don't have electricity.

00:59:37.700 So wait a minute.

00:59:38.380 Hang on, Bill.

00:59:38.900 We are not.

00:59:39.480 See, this is this is the

00:59:40.520 fundamental problem.

00:59:41.920 We think we're there to

00:59:44.320 nation build or save or

00:59:46.620 leave them. 0.92

00:59:47.160 We're not.

00:59:47.900 That's not what that's not

00:59:49.040 what the military is

00:59:49.960 supposed to do.

00:59:51.300 Right.

00:59:51.940 So Matt Mattis knows that

00:59:53.720 the defense secretary and,

00:59:56.040 you know, life expectancy

00:59:57.140 in Afghanistan is about

00:59:58.440 40, 4, 0.

01:00:00.540 OK, about 65 percent of the

01:00:02.840 population can't read.

01:00:04.580 So you're not going to get a

01:00:06.200 nation that's going to 0.98

01:00:07.220 function in a way that's

01:00:10.020 going to protect its

01:00:10.720 citizenry.

01:00:11.320 So you have a decision to

01:00:12.280 make.

01:00:12.720 You being NATO in the 0.64

01:00:13.860 United States.

01:00:15.160 Do you pull out of there

01:00:16.600 and let the Taliban come back 0.99

01:00:18.200 in and run it, which is

01:00:19.220 exactly what would happen?

01:00:20.320 And then ISIS would form an

01:00:23.560 alliance with the Taliban.

01:00:25.380 And so you'd have ISIS camps

01:00:27.020 and ISIS presence, just like

01:00:29.340 you had Al Qaeda before 9-11.

01:00:30.960 Do you allow that?

01:00:32.260 Or do you basically do a

01:00:34.220 police action from Bagram and

01:00:37.620 keep 10,000 troops there, NATO

01:00:39.620 troops there, to allow the

01:00:41.800 government to function and to

01:00:43.440 keep the Taliban from taking 0.99

01:00:44.760 over?

01:00:45.140 So that's your decision.

01:00:46.640 There's nothing else.

01:00:47.740 And if President Trump thinks

01:00:49.920 that we're going to win

01:00:51.340 militarily, you're not going

01:00:53.940 to win.

01:00:54.440 Yes.

01:00:54.960 All right.

01:00:55.340 It's just not going to happen

01:00:56.660 because Pakistan allows the

01:00:58.140 Taliban to base on 0.89

01:01:01.600 Pakistani soil.

01:01:02.940 Yes.

01:01:03.180 And you can't go in there to

01:01:04.480 get them.

01:01:05.000 So that's what it is.

01:01:06.320 And so everybody should know

01:01:07.400 what it is.

01:01:08.520 Russia sanctions.

01:01:10.980 Your thoughts.

01:01:11.960 Yes.

01:01:12.840 You have to have them.

01:01:14.700 I think Trump makes a huge

01:01:16.140 mistake in disparaging

01:01:17.580 the Republicans for voting

01:01:18.800 for it.

01:01:19.960 Putin has to be taught a

01:01:21.300 lesson, even if it's a

01:01:23.120 symbolic lesson, which it

01:01:24.240 isn't.

01:01:24.620 These sanctions are going to

01:01:25.760 hurt the Russian economy, 0.94

01:01:27.020 which is already in bad

01:01:28.340 shape.

01:01:29.260 And Trump says, well, look,

01:01:30.540 this impedes my ability to

01:01:32.240 negotiate with Putin.

01:01:33.720 Look, Putin, he decided to

01:01:37.320 mess around in our election

01:01:38.760 and he's got to pay a price.

01:01:40.000 Here's the price.

01:01:41.140 Trump should shut up.

01:01:42.500 All right.

01:01:43.100 He signed the bill because he

01:01:44.340 knew he would be embarrassed

01:01:45.260 if he didn't.

01:01:45.860 But there's no win for him

01:01:47.960 for the president to keep

01:01:49.860 whining about it.

01:01:51.000 No.

01:01:51.320 And, you know, when we're

01:01:51.980 talking about the election,

01:01:53.100 this is this is the craziest

01:01:54.140 thing.

01:01:54.500 My wife said yesterday

01:01:55.860 somebody was talking about,

01:01:59.480 you know, the election and

01:02:01.500 and and Hillary Clinton and 0.90

01:02:04.100 everything else.

01:02:04.840 And it wasn't Trump.

01:02:05.880 It was just somebody who was

01:02:06.920 on radio or something.

01:02:07.860 And she just and she never 0.99

01:02:10.020 comments on political stuff.

01:02:11.520 She just burst out with

01:02:13.520 these people.

01:02:14.220 Shut up. 0.95

01:02:15.720 The election is over.

01:02:18.480 He won.

01:02:19.980 Move on.

01:02:21.760 Trump can't seem to allow

01:02:24.940 any thought in his head that

01:02:28.740 the Russians were trying to 0.86

01:02:31.300 disrupt the election, not

01:02:33.540 necessarily in his favor, nor

01:02:35.480 is there any evidence that that

01:02:36.880 even happened.

01:02:37.680 But they were influencing our

01:02:40.020 election.

01:02:40.540 They tried to.

01:02:41.900 He needs to separate himself

01:02:44.160 from, you know, what Russia is

01:02:47.740 is saying out loud they want to

01:02:51.540 do to the West all around the

01:02:53.100 world.

01:02:53.460 And we have evidence that they

01:02:54.840 did try to do it here.

01:02:56.220 They just failed.

01:02:56.960 Well, I think Kelly and Mattis

01:02:59.600 are going to tamp them down.

01:03:00.720 Very interesting.

01:03:01.940 This is a real indicator that,

01:03:03.940 again, only Glenn Beck and Bill

01:03:05.480 O'Reilly have pointed out their

01:03:06.940 respective listeners and

01:03:08.940 viewers.

01:03:10.240 After the announcement of the

01:03:12.140 grand jury appointment by

01:03:15.320 Mueller, the special prosecutor

01:03:17.420 or investigator.

01:03:18.940 OK, the left did what the left

01:03:21.000 always does.

01:03:21.620 Yeah.

01:03:21.940 They want to ruin Trump's

01:03:23.720 presidency and say, oh, he's

01:03:25.100 guilty.

01:03:26.040 You know, no presumption of

01:03:27.080 innocence.

01:03:27.600 No.

01:03:27.760 I mean, if Mueller didn't put

01:03:30.560 the grand jury up there, he

01:03:31.860 would have been a sap, SAP

01:03:33.420 sap, word of the day.

01:03:34.660 You have to do that because you

01:03:36.620 have to subpoena documents.

01:03:38.820 You have to get stuff if you're

01:03:40.740 going to do an honest

01:03:41.360 investigation.

01:03:41.840 And that's what a grand jury

01:03:42.920 does.

01:03:43.240 OK, so we all know that that

01:03:45.520 this wasn't a big news story.

01:03:47.200 It doesn't say anybody's guilty

01:03:48.640 of anything.

01:03:49.200 It doesn't give special

01:03:50.340 prosecutor more power to get

01:03:52.300 the information.

01:03:52.880 OK, now, in the past, Trump

01:03:55.840 would have tweeted his brains

01:03:57.720 out saying that this was

01:03:59.200 horrible.

01:03:59.620 This was terrible.

01:04:00.800 What's he doing?

01:04:02.000 Which I'm going to go to his

01:04:02.880 house and put gum in his

01:04:04.560 keyhole.

01:04:05.160 OK, that's what Trump would

01:04:06.420 have done.

01:04:07.160 Now, nothing.

01:04:08.300 No tweeting.

01:04:09.360 Nothing.

01:04:09.880 That shows you the Kelly

01:04:11.780 influence.

01:04:13.240 Kelly basically said, look,

01:04:14.800 whatever happens, don't say

01:04:16.480 anything.

01:04:16.860 Don't tweet anything.

01:04:18.860 And if you do run it by me,

01:04:21.320 you can vent on certain

01:04:23.120 things, but other things,

01:04:24.480 legal things you cannot vent

01:04:25.800 on.

01:04:26.640 And so that's a big story.

01:04:28.700 Yeah.

01:04:29.420 And that's exactly what the

01:04:31.540 discipline that Kelly is

01:04:32.540 bringing.

01:04:32.960 Remember, he's only been in

01:04:33.820 there a week and Kelly has 0.95

01:04:35.260 like done amazing things in

01:04:37.480 one week.

01:04:38.520 So what do you think about

01:04:40.320 Donald Trump saying, you know,

01:04:41.920 saying I have nothing to do

01:04:43.040 with it, I have nothing to do

01:04:43.820 with it.

01:04:44.020 And then finding out, which I

01:04:45.180 think is a Reince Priebus

01:04:46.340 leak here, that, oh, yeah,

01:04:49.440 when he was on Air Force One,

01:04:51.200 he wrote that Donald Trump.

01:04:53.920 Oh, so what?

01:04:54.820 Come on.

01:04:55.840 Well, I just hang on just a

01:04:57.320 sec.

01:04:57.540 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

01:04:58.460 wait, wait, wait, wait,

01:04:59.040 wait, wait, Bill.

01:04:59.740 Wait a minute.

01:05:00.320 Wait a minute.

01:05:00.940 Wait a minute.

01:05:01.440 All right.

01:05:02.100 All right.

01:05:02.260 Hang on.

01:05:03.300 Listen, it again is not that

01:05:07.300 it never is.

01:05:08.280 It's never the crime.

01:05:09.960 It's the cover up.

01:05:10.900 And to.

01:05:12.660 Oh, whoa.

01:05:13.980 No.

01:05:14.260 You feel passionately there,

01:05:17.860 Bill?

01:05:18.800 Garbage.

01:05:19.780 Listen, look, Donald Trump

01:05:22.560 Jr.

01:05:23.360 had a meeting with some

01:05:25.680 Russian people.

01:05:26.800 OK.

01:05:27.560 All right.

01:05:27.940 So we all know that.

01:05:29.320 And then Trump, the father,

01:05:31.320 finds out about the meeting

01:05:32.600 and he's coaching the kid

01:05:34.580 as any father would do.

01:05:36.200 Right.

01:05:36.580 So why wouldn't you say so?

01:05:38.180 This is the problem.

01:05:38.880 This is the hang on.

01:05:39.840 My question is not to guilt

01:05:41.760 or innocence or anything else

01:05:42.800 is when will Donald Trump

01:05:45.320 understand that you just

01:05:48.180 tell the truth and it is

01:05:51.320 fine.

01:05:52.100 It's several advisors telling

01:05:53.020 him that.

01:05:53.480 Right.

01:05:53.660 But you continue to say one

01:05:55.940 thing and then it comes out

01:05:57.100 the other and it's just not

01:05:58.980 going to work out well in the

01:06:00.940 end.

01:06:01.200 Almost doing what MSNBC does.

01:06:05.740 OK.

01:06:06.200 There was a discussion about

01:06:08.340 adoption in that meeting

01:06:10.620 that did come up from the

01:06:13.300 lawyer herself.

01:06:14.340 So Trump being Trump and any

01:06:18.280 politician would have seized on

01:06:19.780 that and said, hey, tell them

01:06:21.680 that you were talking about

01:06:22.800 adoptions.

01:06:23.720 There wasn't any dirt dished

01:06:26.580 about Hillary Clinton.

01:06:27.820 Again, no dirt.

01:06:29.780 So Trump takes those two facts,

01:06:31.900 at least that's the testimony by

01:06:33.560 the Russians, and says,

01:06:35.300 emphasize that.

01:06:36.540 That's not a crime.

01:06:37.780 It's not a cover up.

01:06:38.980 But Bill, but let's say let's

01:06:39.980 say that trying to protect his

01:06:41.500 kid.

01:06:41.880 Let's say that jumping up and

01:06:43.540 down about this.

01:06:44.540 Let's say that approach is

01:06:45.440 completely fine, because I

01:06:46.380 think you're right.

01:06:46.900 It was, I think, primarily

01:06:48.200 about adoption.

01:06:49.380 It was, at least as far as we

01:06:51.320 know so far.

01:06:51.740 I don't even think it was.

01:06:52.620 That was not the intent of

01:06:53.580 the meeting, but I don't think

01:06:54.600 anything actually happened in

01:06:56.900 this meeting at all.

01:06:58.580 I personally think this was

01:07:00.180 Putin setting Donald Trump

01:07:02.660 and his family up because they

01:07:04.620 snapped at the bait.

01:07:06.160 I've got something.

01:07:07.700 So they snapped at that.

01:07:09.120 I don't know if it was Putin,

01:07:10.160 but it was somebody in Russia

01:07:11.760 setting him up.

01:07:12.460 But my point here is, Bill,

01:07:14.680 if that if that approach is

01:07:16.120 correct, right, and you're

01:07:17.320 right, it was primarily about

01:07:18.600 adoption.

01:07:19.320 You have two things on the

01:07:20.800 table, options that are fine.

01:07:23.320 One to say and give a little

01:07:24.920 bit of the truth and say it was

01:07:25.880 about adoption and hope no one

01:07:27.100 finds out about the rest of it.

01:07:28.740 Or two, you've got the email.

01:07:30.860 You know it's going to come out

01:07:31.800 eventually.

01:07:32.440 You might as well just get out in

01:07:34.540 front of it and be honest.

01:07:36.040 They always choose the less, the

01:07:38.200 lower disclosure.

01:07:39.500 They knew this was going to come

01:07:40.220 out.

01:07:40.360 They've got an investigation

01:07:41.140 going on.

01:07:41.780 This email is coming out.

01:07:43.480 He still doesn't think that

01:07:44.760 way.

01:07:45.000 He never thinks that way.

01:07:46.220 I told you we talked about this

01:07:47.440 last year.

01:07:48.280 Yeah.

01:07:48.520 The rich guy syndrome.

01:07:49.760 It's all going to work out.

01:07:50.660 We say what we want.

01:07:52.060 But let's I think all Americans

01:07:54.420 who want the truth, and that's

01:07:56.280 maybe half the country, the other

01:07:58.080 half are just don't want the

01:07:59.640 truth.

01:07:59.900 They just want to go careen

01:08:01.660 around.

01:08:02.100 Um, I, I am telling you that this

01:08:06.600 is so low level with this meeting.

01:08:08.720 And, and that's why I want Mueller

01:08:10.560 to subpoena these people.

01:08:12.140 I want them to come in.

01:08:13.520 It's just, it's nothing.

01:08:15.820 Um, and the facts of the matter are

01:08:18.580 that if Trump eluded himself or one

01:08:22.200 of his big guys, you're absolutely

01:08:24.540 right, Stu.

01:08:26.040 You're absolutely right.

01:08:27.340 It's going to come out.

01:08:28.340 Okay.

01:08:28.860 So it's going to come out.

01:08:30.440 So let's go.

01:08:31.140 I'm up now.

01:08:31.760 He's making a great point.

01:08:32.960 I, but I just have like a minute

01:08:34.580 left and I do want to hit

01:08:35.660 immigration reform because this

01:08:37.380 week at billoreilly.com in one of

01:08:39.240 your no spin cast, you said, um,

01:08:42.120 Trump's immigration plan going to

01:08:43.800 crash and burn.

01:08:45.040 So what does that mean?

01:08:47.060 That means that the Senate and the

01:08:48.860 House will never ever vote to

01:08:51.980 change the immigration pattern from

01:08:54.140 a million green cards a year to

01:08:56.200 anything less.

01:08:57.020 The votes are not there.

01:08:59.700 It's not going to happen.

01:09:01.520 So, but, but, but, so, but what

01:09:02.720 does that, what does that mean for

01:09:04.720 the future?

01:09:05.400 Does that hurt him getting the wall,

01:09:07.960 getting other things?

01:09:09.160 Does it, what does that mean?

01:09:11.020 He's still the anti, uh, chaotic

01:09:14.500 immigration warrior.

01:09:15.960 Great.

01:09:16.280 He's still going to, he's going to

01:09:17.320 build a little bit of the wall.

01:09:19.300 Uh, sessions is running around

01:09:21.280 deporting MS 13.

01:09:23.260 Uh, the border crossings are way

01:09:25.120 down.

01:09:25.540 Trump wins on this issue.

01:09:26.740 Okay.

01:09:27.180 So how does the GOP come out of

01:09:31.000 this?

01:09:31.500 I can't imagine the GOP has anything

01:09:34.560 that they can win on in 18 or 20.

01:09:37.960 Well, he's got to win on tax cuts.

01:09:39.960 And next week, let's talk about

01:09:41.220 that.

01:09:41.480 Yeah.

01:09:41.620 No, not, not Trump.

01:09:42.840 The GOP, the GOP is, is over.

01:09:46.520 Congress people are going to tell

01:09:48.620 their constituents, this is what I

01:09:50.280 want.

01:09:50.640 Uh, so in the liberal, uh, Republican

01:09:52.980 bastions like Maine, uh, Collins

01:09:55.860 would go, Oh, I want, you know,

01:09:57.460 statue of Liberty, give us your

01:09:59.360 poor, that's me.

01:10:01.020 And then more conservative

01:10:02.160 precincts in Texas, the Republicans

01:10:04.340 will say, look, I, I wanted to cut

01:10:06.280 it back.

01:10:06.740 I wanted to cut it down.

01:10:08.020 So it's an individual district

01:10:09.400 kind of thing.

01:10:10.040 Uh, Bill O'Reilly from Bill

01:10:13.140 O'Reilly.com.

01:10:13.880 We don't even have time to cover

01:10:15.100 this, but I would imagine that you

01:10:16.560 were as upset, uh, as I was, uh,

01:10:19.580 with, with the lies about the

01:10:22.920 Statue of Liberty and the spin of

01:10:25.560 all of that would just make my head

01:10:27.020 explode.

01:10:28.060 Anybody who is into history, that

01:10:29.840 just was crazy.

01:10:31.160 Um, Bill, um, what do you have,

01:10:33.420 uh, coming up, uh, next week on

01:10:35.840 Bill O'Reilly.com?

01:10:36.220 We want to tell everybody that we

01:10:37.560 have this, uh, kids book, uh, the

01:10:39.160 day, uh, the world when nuclear

01:10:40.880 and we were talking about North

01:10:42.140 Korea earlier and it's tied right 0.98

01:10:43.860 in and, and adults can read it

01:10:45.620 to us.

01:10:45.920 It's just terrific book.

01:10:46.860 That's out.

01:10:47.680 Legends of the Lives of the

01:10:48.340 Civil War is out, uh, old school

01:10:50.020 life in the same lane, which

01:10:51.300 Glenn Beck, uh, is perfect.

01:10:52.980 It's just about what Beck says

01:10:54.440 every day.

01:10:55.120 They're all out.

01:10:56.020 And then next week we're going

01:10:57.140 to do, uh, on Wednesday, um,

01:11:00.140 we're going to do a studio

01:11:01.120 broadcast for the first time on

01:11:03.020 Bill O'Reilly.com, Beck.

01:11:04.440 Wow.

01:11:04.760 And, um, you'll see how handsome

01:11:06.900 I am now that I've been

01:11:07.920 relaxing a little bit.

01:11:08.940 Oof.

01:11:09.640 Um, we got the, uh, the

01:11:11.520 brand new clothing and, uh,

01:11:13.240 How much, how much of you is

01:11:15.840 CGI?

01:11:16.840 Cause that will, I'll watch it.

01:11:18.160 How much of you is CGI?

01:11:20.360 Is CGI, what does that mean?

01:11:21.980 Oh dear God.

01:11:22.840 Oh wow.

01:11:23.400 That means all of it is, that

01:11:24.560 means all of it is really him.

01:11:26.340 There's no computer generated

01:11:29.240 images at all.

01:11:30.620 There's nothing.

01:11:31.080 Beck, I have a mohawk haircut.

01:11:33.780 That should look, a nose ring.

01:11:37.240 That should look really

01:11:38.100 interesting with the male

01:11:39.000 pattern baldness at the same

01:11:40.280 time.

01:11:41.020 Uh, Bill, thanks so much.

01:11:42.060 Oh man, look at that cute shot. 1.00

01:11:45.420 As he's signing off, Bill.

01:11:46.900 It's awful.

01:11:47.520 Bill O'Reilly.com.

01:11:48.560 Thanks, Bill.

01:11:48.960 We'll talk to you next week.

01:11:49.840 Now this, Liberty Safe.

01:11:50.860 They not only make great safes,

01:11:52.660 but they make it easy now to

01:11:54.120 own one.

01:11:54.800 And now at Liberty Safe, you can

01:11:56.540 buy one at a great sale price

01:11:58.820 and receive 12 months interest-free

01:12:00.920 payments with zero down and zero

01:12:03.700 APR.

01:12:04.600 They even offer Liberty Safe for as

01:12:06.280 low as $15 a month.

01:12:08.640 We've been working with Liberty

01:12:10.040 Safe for seven years.

01:12:11.640 This is, this is just such a great

01:12:13.400 company.

01:12:14.060 They wanted to build everything

01:12:15.560 here in America.

01:12:16.780 So all the Liberty Safes are built

01:12:19.340 right here.

01:12:19.980 When you get, you know, a

01:12:21.060 presidential or one of their

01:12:22.380 Lincolns or their, their, is it 0.94

01:12:24.140 Fat Boy?

01:12:24.800 Big Boy?

01:12:25.360 What is it?

01:12:26.000 The one I have is a Fat Boy.

01:12:27.300 Fat Boy.

01:12:27.660 Okay.

01:12:28.380 Um, that really wasn't a fat joke,

01:12:30.720 but it turned into one,

01:12:32.040 unfortunately.

01:12:33.220 Um, Liberty Safe, you'll have the

01:12:35.560 peace of mind of having the best

01:12:37.600 built safe, uh, on the planet.

01:12:38.820 You don't think that was just

01:12:39.620 coincidence that they gave a Fat

01:12:41.480 Boy to Jeffy?

01:12:43.480 Huh, huh, huh, huh.

01:12:45.580 Who would have, I mean, I

01:12:46.640 thought it was nice of them.

01:12:47.820 Anyway, I've worked with them

01:12:49.060 for seven years and I love these

01:12:50.540 guys.

01:12:51.160 I think they, they perhaps may

01:12:53.620 have a good sense of humor.

01:12:54.980 And they're observant.

01:12:56.180 Yeah.

01:12:56.640 Liberty, and they have eyes. 0.78

01:12:59.820 LibertySafe.com, the home of the

01:13:01.340 best built safes on the planet.

01:13:02.620 Get one now.

01:13:04.200 LibertySafe.com.

01:13:07.800 You're listening to the Glenn Beck

01:13:09.420 program.

01:13:10.060 The Glenn Beck program.

01:13:17.940 888-727-BECK.

01:13:21.040 So glad that you are here.

01:13:22.380 A couple of things.

01:13:23.400 Um, found out that Apple owns

01:13:26.060 52.6 billion dollars in U.S.

01:13:31.200 Treasuries.

01:13:31.680 That is more than most foreign 1.00

01:13:35.800 countries own in U.S.

01:13:38.900 Treasuries.

01:13:39.660 Remember, you know, the idea is,

01:13:41.740 you know, you buy our

01:13:42.520 Treasuries.

01:13:43.100 That's how you're buying our

01:13:43.920 loans.

01:13:44.900 That's how you finance us.

01:13:46.860 You're buying our Treasuries.

01:13:48.420 You're buying our bonds.

01:13:50.160 Apple owns 52 billion dollars in

01:13:54.220 Treasuries.

01:13:54.900 That's nice of all.

01:13:55.460 When a company owns 56 billion in

01:14:00.300 Treasuries, and they come to the

01:14:03.100 doorstep and say, hey, we really

01:14:05.760 need you to do X, Y, and Z for the

01:14:08.100 company.

01:14:08.780 You're probably going to do X, Y, and

01:14:10.480 Z.

01:14:10.680 Yeah.

01:14:11.220 For the company.

01:14:12.020 Otherwise, they could dump the 56 0.99

01:14:14.440 billion in Treasuries.

01:14:17.040 And what happens then?

01:14:19.220 That almost beat Blackmail.

01:14:20.700 I don't think that would happen.

01:14:22.680 That's, this is an awesome

01:14:24.880 question, because we all, we all

01:14:27.300 know that we have changed, you

01:14:29.140 know, they can, China can send us 0.99

01:14:30.460 poison dog food and lead-filled

01:14:32.440 toys, and we don't say anything

01:14:34.740 because they own so many of our

01:14:36.140 Treasuries.

01:14:37.200 With 56 billion dollars in Treasuries,

01:14:39.680 more than most countries have, what

01:14:42.540 does that afford Apple?

01:14:47.320 Fascinating.

01:14:49.000 More in a second.

01:14:54.880 Bank.

01:14:57.460 Mercury.

01:15:12.300 The Blaze Radio Network.

01:15:16.960 On demand.

01:15:20.760 Let's blow up the moon. 0.84

01:15:22.340 Hello, and welcome, America.

01:15:24.500 We're so glad that you're here.

01:15:26.720 Have you seen the new job opening for

01:15:29.820 NASA?

01:15:30.800 Six-figure salary for someone to defend

01:15:34.540 the Earth from aliens.

01:15:36.920 Not, not kidding.

01:15:39.340 The gig is to help defend the Earth from

01:15:44.060 alien and alien contamination.

01:15:48.120 It's a good wage.

01:15:49.140 It is a really good way, $187,000 a

01:15:52.520 year.

01:15:52.760 I can do that.

01:15:53.580 I'll do that.

01:15:54.940 No aliens should come into our 1.00

01:15:57.160 atmosphere.

01:15:58.840 I'm good with that one.

01:16:00.620 We have that.

01:16:02.220 Also, something in AI that is

01:16:05.860 blowing my mind.

01:16:09.160 Artificial intelligence has begun to

01:16:12.620 create its own language that humans

01:16:15.520 can't understand.

01:16:16.740 And we're standing around saying,

01:16:18.960 should we stop them from talking like

01:16:21.340 that?

01:16:22.420 Nah.

01:16:23.720 No.

01:16:24.480 Let them develop a language that we

01:16:26.100 can't understand.

01:16:27.060 That's nothing bad could possibly

01:16:29.800 happen there at all.

01:16:32.000 Also, Orrin Hatch and the movie reviews

01:16:35.580 for the weekend.

01:16:36.260 All coming up right now.

01:16:37.960 I will make a stand.

01:16:41.340 I will raise my voice.

01:16:43.580 I will hold your hand.

01:16:46.020 Because we are one.

01:16:47.880 I will beat my drum.

01:16:50.080 I have made my choice.

01:16:52.340 We will overcome.

01:16:54.620 Because we are one.

01:16:56.600 The fusion of entertainment and

01:16:59.100 enlightenment.

01:17:00.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:17:04.080 Okay, so last time this happened was

01:17:07.980 in 2007, right before all hell broke

01:17:12.280 loose.

01:17:13.400 Americans now are showing the largest 0.96

01:17:18.300 decline in personal savings.

01:17:23.420 Looks like we are now only saving, I

01:17:27.560 think, 3.8%.

01:17:29.080 We are now starting to spend our

01:17:34.940 savings faster.

01:17:37.420 And nobody's got anything left in the

01:17:41.640 bank anymore.

01:17:42.380 The last time this happened that was 0.85

01:17:45.100 even close to this kind of decline in

01:17:47.140 savings was right before the crash of

01:17:49.360 08.

01:17:50.560 Does it mean anything?

01:17:52.120 I don't know.

01:17:52.860 We should mention today, by the way, a

01:17:54.340 very good unemployment report.

01:17:57.640 Good.

01:17:58.060 What was it?

01:17:58.460 We are down to 4.3%, which is the

01:18:00.780 lowest it has been in 16 years.

01:18:02.780 I think we also touched it in May, but

01:18:04.560 it is the tide for the lowest that we

01:18:05.960 have had.

01:18:06.140 Are we looking at those who have left

01:18:07.940 the job force?

01:18:09.160 Yeah, it was actually pretty good on

01:18:11.460 that front as well.

01:18:12.760 209,000 jobs created, which was above

01:18:15.960 expectations.

01:18:18.320 And it was, I did look at, I saw the

01:18:23.140 report that you were talking about with

01:18:24.620 the people coming out of the

01:18:26.440 workforce, and those numbers look good

01:18:27.820 to, I don't have them in front of me

01:18:28.820 right now.

01:18:29.140 Good, excellent, excellent.

01:18:29.960 You know, again, it's one month, but

01:18:31.720 good report.

01:18:32.700 So that's positive.

01:18:32.920 I'll take a month, as long as we're not

01:18:34.320 playing numbers, as long as we're not

01:18:35.780 playing games that we wouldn't accept

01:18:37.440 in the Obama administration.

01:18:39.480 Don't look at 4.8.

01:18:40.800 Well, how many jobs were created?

01:18:42.940 How many people are leaving the

01:18:44.480 workforce?

01:18:45.240 What is the number or percentage on

01:18:48.260 welfare or on government handouts?

01:18:50.820 But I believe those numbers are going

01:18:52.260 down pretty dramatically.

01:18:53.600 Are they not?

01:18:54.060 I don't have that in front of me

01:18:55.340 either.

01:18:55.700 Yeah, we should look that up.

01:18:56.600 Maybe we can do something on that on

01:18:57.740 Monday.

01:18:59.100 What is the story on the Secret

01:19:00.360 Service that has to move their

01:19:01.740 command center outside of Trump

01:19:03.460 Tower into a trailer?

01:19:06.600 It's a lease agreement issue, correct?

01:19:09.560 But don't they know the guy who runs

01:19:11.180 the tower?

01:19:12.260 I don't know.

01:19:13.140 Do you know who it is?

01:19:14.100 If we could look it up.

01:19:14.880 I'm not sure.

01:19:15.700 What's the name of the building?

01:19:16.620 I'm not sure, but I think his name is

01:19:18.080 on it.

01:19:19.060 The Trump Tower, right?

01:19:20.100 So the Secret Service had the floor

01:19:22.080 directly under Donald Trump.

01:19:25.480 And for some reason, there is a

01:19:28.160 lease problem.

01:19:29.920 And so now the Secret Service is

01:19:31.960 watching the president outside in a

01:19:34.440 trailer.

01:19:35.020 A trailer.

01:19:36.380 The only, the only, the neighbors

01:19:39.420 must be so happy to now have, you've

01:19:42.560 turned it into a trailer park.

01:19:44.500 We've taken Fifth Avenue and put

01:19:46.660 trailers now in the street.

01:19:50.100 And you're talking about the security

01:19:51.180 and safety of the president and his

01:19:52.860 family.

01:19:53.460 I don't know what is happening there,

01:19:55.720 but pretty weird.

01:19:56.840 Work it out and, and don't work it

01:19:59.140 out to anybody's enrichment.

01:20:02.160 Remember, we're talking about the

01:20:03.520 security of the president and we're

01:20:05.700 also talking about the taxpayer's

01:20:08.200 burden.

01:20:09.740 Can we, can we cut the Secret Service

01:20:11.900 to slack?

01:20:12.580 And, you know, I don't, I'm not saying

01:20:15.000 that they should be welcome to the,

01:20:18.080 you know, whole floor beneath him.

01:20:20.900 You know, at a.

01:20:21.860 Maybe that's what they're trying to

01:20:22.720 do though, right?

01:20:23.180 Because she's not even there.

01:20:24.700 As, as a, as a capitalist.

01:20:28.220 No, as a capitalist, I don't believe

01:20:30.020 that the government should be able to

01:20:32.840 come in and just say, we're taking

01:20:34.680 this over.

01:20:35.780 No, I mean, they should pay for it,

01:20:37.180 but I mean, we pay for a lot more

01:20:39.500 stuff than the security of the president.

01:20:40.700 I agree with that.

01:20:41.160 He's not really been there though.

01:20:42.440 I mean, that's what I'm saying.

01:20:43.120 Since she moved out, maybe that's what,

01:20:45.780 what he's trying to do.

01:20:46.580 Yeah.

01:20:46.820 There's no need for them to have

01:20:47.880 the whole floor.

01:20:48.520 They say, yeah, right.

01:20:49.580 They say after the Trump Tower said

01:20:51.140 after much consideration, it was

01:20:52.400 mutually determined that it would be

01:20:53.900 more cost effective and logistically

01:20:56.420 practical for the Secret Service to

01:20:58.040 lease space elsewhere.

01:21:00.020 Trump has not visited Trump Tower

01:21:01.600 since his inauguration.

01:21:03.140 It costs $130,000 a month for the

01:21:05.280 White House military office, which

01:21:06.500 does have a location in Trump Tower.

01:21:07.960 Right.

01:21:08.160 So if it's, if it's, if it is just

01:21:10.160 truly because he's not going to go up

01:21:11.620 there and we don't have to worry

01:21:12.840 about that and we got people in,

01:21:14.580 that's great.

01:21:15.720 Let's save money, you know, but let's

01:21:17.860 make sure that the economics are fair

01:21:19.440 to both sides, not just the

01:21:20.620 capitalists, but also to the, the

01:21:22.180 taxpayer as well.

01:21:23.180 It's a weird situation considering

01:21:24.280 the guy owns the building.

01:21:25.180 So I can understand it being a little

01:21:26.860 strange.

01:21:27.840 Yeah.

01:21:28.120 However, I mean, does anybody care?

01:21:30.120 I mean, Barack Obama, Donald Trump,

01:21:32.560 I do.

01:21:32.960 George Bush.

01:21:33.840 I can't then.

01:21:34.780 Well, what I'm saying, I didn't even

01:21:36.340 finish that.

01:21:36.740 How would you know?

01:21:37.140 Go ahead about the thing I'm talking

01:21:38.140 about.

01:21:38.340 I haven't finished it because they've all

01:21:39.460 spent so much money and we all have

01:21:40.980 to keep them all safe.

01:21:42.080 Yada, yada, yada.

01:21:43.100 Yeah.

01:21:43.300 I mean, I think the issue here is we

01:21:45.860 need them to be safe and cost isn't a

01:21:49.700 consideration when protecting the

01:21:50.900 president's life.

01:21:51.820 No matter if it's Democrat,

01:21:52.800 Republican, I don't care.

01:21:54.120 Obviously, if it's a complete waste of

01:21:55.840 money and none of the people in the

01:21:56.960 military or the Secret Service think

01:21:58.260 it's valuable, then then you change

01:22:00.480 that.

01:22:00.760 But it's not a consideration for me.

01:22:02.380 OK, so the woman who encouraged her

01:22:04.120 boyfriend to kill himself via text

01:22:06.380 has now been sentenced to 15 months

01:22:09.080 in jail.

01:22:09.580 Now, this is the this is the girl

01:22:12.760 that that whose boyfriend had been

01:22:18.400 saying, hey, you know, I want to kill

01:22:20.280 myself.

01:22:20.720 I want to kill myself.

01:22:21.700 And then she started to encourage him.

01:22:24.400 And in fact, he stopped in the middle

01:22:26.980 of the act and texted her.

01:22:29.580 And she said, what are you doing?

01:22:30.980 Get back into the car.

01:22:32.240 I'll stay with you on text.

01:22:35.200 Get back in the car.

01:22:36.000 I mean, she she was an accomplice to

01:22:39.480 his suicide.

01:22:40.760 And, you know, where's the line there?

01:22:45.240 Should she have gone to jail?

01:22:46.740 I think she should have.

01:22:48.140 It's a really hard line, though, because,

01:22:49.880 yeah, you know, he did it.

01:22:51.880 She didn't.

01:22:52.380 But wait, but wait, there's a difference

01:22:55.360 between, you know, as I told this story

01:22:58.340 before on the air, my mother committed

01:23:00.760 suicide.

01:23:01.720 My aunt for a while felt burdened

01:23:05.060 because we didn't know this as kids.

01:23:07.780 But my grandparents and my aunt had been

01:23:10.680 trying to counsel, trying to get her to

01:23:12.920 see doctors, everything else.

01:23:15.200 And in a moment of frustration, the Sunday

01:23:17.420 before my mother killed herself, she said,

01:23:22.420 you know, Joanne, I just think I'm going to

01:23:24.420 I think I'm just going to kill myself.

01:23:26.440 I just can't live this way anymore.

01:23:28.300 And my aunt, you know, just not thinking

01:23:31.940 and being so pissed about, you know, well,

01:23:33.960 I've given you every option.

01:23:35.800 We've tried to help and you won't do

01:23:37.420 anything.

01:23:37.760 Said, you know what, Mary, just do it. 0.99

01:23:40.460 Now, she didn't mean that.

01:23:42.900 There's a difference between that

01:23:44.900 and what this girl did. 0.75

01:23:46.780 What this girl did was, wait, you stopped? 1.00

01:23:49.320 Get back into the, you know, get back

01:23:51.500 into the truck.

01:23:52.420 That that's that's inhuman.

01:23:54.340 It is inhuman.

01:23:56.560 Whether she should be convicted of,

01:23:59.220 you know, causing the murder,

01:24:01.200 I think, is another story.

01:24:02.780 I mean, you know, these is.

01:24:04.720 We do have people who go to jail, though,

01:24:06.340 for not doing it.

01:24:06.860 I mean, Charles Manson, right?

01:24:07.900 I mean, you know, that you have you.

01:24:09.260 There isn't a level where that does apply.

01:24:12.080 It's it's it's a weird one here.

01:24:13.440 It's a tough line because, I mean, you know,

01:24:15.340 look, you got to take responsibility

01:24:16.280 for your own actions.

01:24:17.600 You know, if people encourage you to do

01:24:19.140 things and you do them, that's really

01:24:20.800 your fault, right?

01:24:22.400 I mean, that is, you know.

01:24:24.140 But it's not he didn't.

01:24:26.080 She just didn't say, go do it.

01:24:27.900 She said, get back in the truck. 0.94

01:24:29.460 You're strong enough to finish yourself off.

01:24:31.600 I mean, here's somebody in a very

01:24:33.720 taking a physical action still, though.

01:24:35.780 That's still not.

01:24:37.980 And if I remember right.

01:24:39.480 And by the way, she's free pending appeal.

01:24:42.440 Yeah.

01:24:42.720 In Massachusetts.

01:24:43.680 So she was sentenced.

01:24:44.540 But there's a stay with that.

01:24:47.160 If I remember right, they didn't even

01:24:48.880 have the text messages.

01:24:50.680 Right.

01:24:51.240 This was this was based on her texting

01:24:54.220 and talking with her friend after the fact.

01:24:57.720 So they didn't actually have the text messages

01:25:00.180 that she you know, that they claim

01:25:02.540 happened.

01:25:04.360 It was just her talking to one of her friends

01:25:06.700 saying that that's what happened.

01:25:08.460 Yeah.

01:25:09.560 This is one of her numerous text messages.

01:25:12.180 You always say you're going to do it, but you never do.

01:25:15.680 Get back, quote, get back into the truck.

01:25:19.660 I mean, you know, we had a libertarian

01:25:22.800 on Pat and Stu a few weeks back about this.

01:25:25.080 We wrote an op-ed in The New York Times.

01:25:26.960 He writes, Mr. Carter's conduct was morally

01:25:29.960 reprehensible, just like my pronunciation

01:25:34.260 of reprehensible.

01:25:35.420 But at least until today's ruling, it was clearly legal.

01:25:38.160 While some states criminalized the act of convincing

01:25:40.580 people to commit suicide, Massachusetts

01:25:42.240 has no such law.

01:25:44.440 Moreover, speech that is reckless, hateful

01:25:46.440 and ill-willed nevertheless enjoys

01:25:48.280 First Amendment protections.

01:25:49.780 While the Supreme Court has carved out

01:25:51.240 narrowly tailored exceptions for literal threats

01:25:54.480 of violence and incitement to lawless action,

01:25:56.800 telling someone they should kill themselves

01:25:58.020 is not the same to holding a gun to their head

01:26:00.120 and pulling the trigger, nor is it akin to

01:26:01.920 threatening to kill the president, which is

01:26:03.860 specifically prohibited by law, and in any case

01:26:06.400 only considered a felony if done knowingly

01:26:08.420 and willfully.

01:26:09.960 So I'm not saying that she murdered him,

01:26:12.460 you know, but is there no,

01:26:14.080 is there, is there no crime here at all?

01:26:19.920 Really?

01:26:21.680 I mean, this is the anti-Good Samaritan.

01:26:26.860 Which is morally reprehensible.

01:26:28.960 Reprehensible, right.

01:26:29.680 But none of those people who walked by him

01:26:31.400 were charged with anything.

01:26:32.660 No, no, no.

01:26:32.760 No, she didn't walk by.

01:26:34.440 She didn't walk by.

01:26:35.520 I know.

01:26:36.660 This is like, she stood around and said,

01:26:39.800 hey you, come here.

01:26:40.900 Come here.

01:26:41.600 Throw rocks at that guy.

01:26:43.940 I mean, that's what she was doing. 0.50

01:26:46.300 She's the anti-Good Samaritan. 1.00

01:26:48.160 Right, like that's inciting a crime.

01:26:49.940 Right, but she, what she did was stand,

01:26:53.520 let's say the Good Samaritan, you know,

01:26:55.700 was suicidal.

01:26:58.620 You know, the guy on the other side of the road,

01:27:00.720 the Good Samaritan went over and helped.

01:27:04.380 She went over and said, do it.

01:27:06.840 Do it.

01:27:07.180 Do it.

01:27:07.720 Jump, jump, jump. 0.90

01:27:09.160 I mean, that's craziness.

01:27:10.580 Again, I think there's a disgust element of this.

01:27:12.560 It's such a disgusting act,

01:27:14.860 it winds up overwhelming what is legal and is not legal.

01:27:18.460 Which is why it's not, yeah, right.

01:27:20.540 And that's the system, right,

01:27:21.760 they wanted 20 years, they got 7 years.

01:27:22.880 So then why do we have a problem with the guy in Russia,

01:27:26.780 with, what is it called, the blue whale or the big whale?

01:27:28.900 Yeah.

01:27:29.440 The guy who apparently has been talking people in,

01:27:33.240 and we don't even know if it's true,

01:27:34.400 he's in jail, but it's a Russian story,

01:27:36.840 that was talking people into committing suicide,

01:27:42.400 you know, by just saying, hey, I'll bet you

01:27:46.080 that in 30 days I can get you to kill yourself.

01:27:48.800 And people are killing themselves.

01:27:51.820 Now, why is that?

01:27:53.060 So should he not go to jail?

01:27:54.600 Should I be allowed?

01:27:55.600 Should somebody be allowed to go on and say,

01:27:57.480 hey, I got this new game, it's a suicide game,

01:28:00.180 you know, I'm not going to do it,

01:28:02.160 but I'm going to convince you to do it.

01:28:05.460 Giving them people the choice, I don't know,

01:28:07.440 it's their responsibility, right?

01:28:10.080 Right, I think there's two parts of that.

01:28:11.300 One is the blue whale game was targeting minors,

01:28:13.900 so I think there are different lines there.

01:28:16.500 But in addition to that,

01:28:18.280 it's not that she shouldn't have been charged with something.

01:28:21.200 First of all, the law needs to be on the books

01:28:23.480 if you're going to charge them with it.

01:28:25.320 So what they did is, because they don't have the law

01:28:27.820 about convincing other people to commit suicide as a crime,

01:28:31.700 they just charged her with manslaughter,

01:28:34.180 which I don't know if that's the appropriate crime.

01:28:36.920 Should she be charged with something?

01:28:38.460 I think you can definitely make that argument.

01:28:40.200 So let me ask you this.

01:28:41.100 If someone was targeting our veterans who had PTSD

01:28:49.460 and was targeting them and saying,

01:28:52.960 do it, do it, kill yourself. 0.67

01:28:54.680 You know, all these people in your life saying it's worth

01:28:56.560 and you can get by and all the,

01:28:58.240 they're all lying to you.

01:28:59.220 Do it.

01:29:00.120 You keep saying you want to kill.

01:29:01.120 I thought you were a hero.

01:29:02.020 I thought you were a big man.

01:29:03.240 You can't even kill yourself.

01:29:04.760 If we had evidence that somebody was doing that

01:29:07.160 to our heroes, to our military,

01:29:10.080 would we think that that person should go to jail?

01:29:13.260 But again, you're upping the moral disgust element,

01:29:16.860 which is legitimate.

01:29:18.460 Right.

01:29:18.920 And it is a morally disgusting act

01:29:21.220 and you've escalated it even beyond this case.

01:29:23.400 But I haven't.

01:29:24.380 The only thing,

01:29:25.120 the only reason why I picked those military guys

01:29:26.880 is because there's a group of people,

01:29:28.280 no, because there's a people who we know are suicidal

01:29:31.100 and they are weak.

01:29:32.680 It's not because they're military,

01:29:35.040 but it's because these guys,

01:29:37.180 we know they are on the edge.

01:29:40.240 That's the part I can't get.

01:29:41.660 It's the good Samaritan.

01:29:42.780 When you see somebody down,

01:29:44.360 you don't go and kick them in the face.

01:29:48.060 Again, I'm only making a legal argument here.

01:29:50.260 I'm not justifying these actions.

01:29:51.700 And the issue is,

01:29:52.500 this is like one of those things.

01:29:54.140 Well, we really want it to be true

01:29:55.920 and we didn't ever actually pass the law against it,

01:29:58.340 but let's find something else.

01:29:59.420 No, if there is no crime on the book

01:30:04.020 that clearly fits it.

01:30:06.240 And do you think manslaughter fits this?

01:30:08.800 I mean, I don't know.

01:30:09.580 Define manslaughter.

01:30:10.220 Right.

01:30:10.520 I mean, I can look up a legal definition.

01:30:12.160 Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

01:30:14.200 I mean, I'd have to see the legal definition.

01:30:17.020 If there's nothing that legally fits that,

01:30:20.820 then I guess not.

01:30:22.620 But you should put one on the books

01:30:24.120 because we're becoming this depraved society.

01:30:27.320 And now this, you go on vacation

01:30:29.740 and your home is empty.

01:30:31.560 Burglars see the signs that you're not home. 0.99

01:30:33.440 No cars in the driveway, no lights inside.

01:30:35.600 And it's an open invitation for a break-in.

01:30:38.140 That's why Simply Save Home Security is there.

01:30:40.520 And they've extended their biggest ever summer sale

01:30:43.240 that ends August 13th.

01:30:45.620 10 days away?

01:30:46.480 Is it today the 3rd?

01:30:47.820 The 4th.

01:30:48.540 It's the 4th.

01:30:49.160 9 days away.

01:30:50.420 It is a whopping $100 off their special summer package,

01:30:55.300 which is the package that I have at our house.

01:30:58.220 This is what we use.

01:30:59.860 It, you know, makes sure that if the glass is broken,

01:31:02.420 if the windows are open, the door is open, etc., etc.,

01:31:05.000 that you have a siren that's going off

01:31:07.700 and it's automatically calling police.

01:31:09.340 It is, I think, $399 is their summer package.

01:31:15.000 You get $100 off if you go now to simplysafbeck.com.

01:31:20.540 You're going to save $100 off of this package.

01:31:24.340 You own it.

01:31:25.620 If you want the round-the-clock security for police,

01:31:29.260 fire, ambulance, all that stuff,

01:31:30.900 all you have to do is ask them to cover it for the month.

01:31:34.940 It is not a contract.

01:31:36.980 You're not signed into anything.

01:31:38.120 It's $14.99 a month.

01:31:40.340 So for $15 a month, that's it.

01:31:44.080 This is, honestly, I don't understand why anybody who has security

01:31:48.460 is not using SimpliSafe.

01:31:51.320 It is the new way to keep your family and your home safe.

01:31:55.140 Go to simplysafbeck.com.

01:31:56.760 That's simplysafbeck.com.

01:31:59.220 You're listening.

01:32:00.420 You're listening.

01:32:01.860 To the Glenn Beck Program.

01:32:03.920 We are one.

01:32:06.560 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:32:08.120 Mercury.

01:32:14.080 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:32:16.460 All right.

01:32:16.780 So they charged this woman in, is it California? 0.59

01:32:21.080 Massachusetts.

01:32:21.620 Massachusetts.

01:32:22.060 That said, you know, to her boyfriend,

01:32:24.820 hey, kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself. 0.89

01:32:27.880 For a long time, he had been threatening to do it.

01:32:30.580 When he finally does it, he gets out of the truck at the last minute, texts her.

01:32:36.840 She apparently begins to text back, what?

01:32:40.260 You can't finish this?

01:32:41.440 You always say you're going to do it.

01:32:42.520 You're strong enough to do it.

01:32:43.560 Get back in the truck.

01:32:44.800 And convinces him to get back in the truck and kill himself.

01:32:47.420 15 months in jail is what she is coming down to. 0.97

01:32:53.680 But they charged her with, and this is, I heard manslaughter, and I asked Stu for the definition.

01:32:59.220 But she wasn't charged with manslaughter.

01:33:00.820 She was charged with involuntary, involuntary manslaughter.

01:33:04.380 Which means she didn't mean for him to die.

01:33:08.840 Which takes away the entire case.

01:33:10.400 Yeah, because that's the point of this.

01:33:12.180 She obviously wanted him to die.

01:33:14.700 So if you're saying she didn't mean it, then she really didn't commit a crime.

01:33:17.360 Absolutely.

01:33:18.100 Then it's a joke crime.

01:33:19.740 Right.

01:33:20.600 That's because, I mean, involuntary manslaughter refers to an unintentional killing.

01:33:25.220 So, again, that doesn't strike that.

01:33:28.480 If you think she committed a crime, you have to believe she wanted him to die and it was intentional.

01:33:33.600 So you can't give her involuntary.

01:33:35.700 But maybe they tried to make the case that, no, she was trying to teach him a lesson.

01:33:41.640 She was trying to, you know, I can't make this work.

01:33:47.800 But, you know, maybe she was just trying to say, do it.

01:33:52.040 Like my aunt did that one time. 1.00

01:33:54.880 And she didn't mean that.

01:33:57.200 But I don't know how you make that case with the long record of her, you know, encouraging him.

01:34:02.980 Yeah.

01:34:03.260 And involuntary manslaughter really doesn't apply.

01:34:06.220 The killing of another person that is intentional but has a mitigating factor to it.

01:34:09.820 Heat of passion caused by reasonable provocation.

01:34:12.400 No.

01:34:13.240 Heat of passion caused by sudden combat.

01:34:15.440 No.

01:34:16.060 Excessive force used in self-defense or in the defense of another.

01:34:19.220 No.

01:34:19.980 I mean, so, I mean, involuntary manslaughter is usually applied as a car crash.

01:34:24.580 Like you kill someone or you screw up at work on a carnival ride and the ride falls apart and people die.

01:34:31.420 Like those are usually involuntary manslaughter type of situations.

01:34:34.340 Let me switch subjects here quickly.

01:34:36.720 Basically, Facebook just put two AIs together to solve some problems.

01:34:43.020 And they stopped this when the language started to say things like this.

01:34:48.060 I can, can, I, I, everything else.

01:34:50.960 To which the other AI, it's Bob and Alice.

01:34:53.460 Bob said, I can, can, I, I, everything else.

01:34:56.580 Alice responds, balls have zero to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to.

01:35:03.000 And they were having conversations like this.

01:35:07.080 And they realized these two computers, these two AIs have just made up an entirely new language.

01:35:15.080 They knew what they were saying to each other, but we don't know what they're saying to each other.

01:35:22.320 Should we stop this or not?

01:35:25.940 Yes.

01:35:26.380 Cancer is yes.

01:35:29.180 Yes.

01:35:29.820 That's an easy one.

01:35:31.340 Back in a minute.

01:35:33.000 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:38.020 Mercury.

01:35:41.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:44.140 If you were a long-term listener of this program, you know that I have told you many times in the past,

01:35:50.360 insanity runs in my family like a pack of wild elephants.

01:35:54.040 And I think this next story will prove that.

01:35:58.280 I'm going to introduce you to somebody.

01:35:59.940 He is my nephew.

01:36:03.560 He was in the military and did his service and came back like a lot of our vets do.

01:36:12.620 Coming back, had some issues, had to deal with them.

01:36:16.000 And I finally see my nephew again, the man that, you know, or the boy that left before the military and now the man that he has become after the military.

01:36:31.060 But it's been a hard journey.

01:36:32.620 And so we're sitting at the Easter table and he's down with his family.

01:36:37.100 And about, I don't know, halfway through dinner, he said, So Uncle Glenn, I'm going to tell you something.

01:36:44.580 I said, OK.

01:36:45.380 He said, I want to get into a rowboat and cross the Atlantic.

01:36:49.800 And I said, oh, dear God, let's get him to a hospital.

01:36:55.040 And he showed me this video.

01:36:58.360 And it's incredible.

01:37:00.720 There is a race.

01:37:01.760 I didn't even know this.

01:37:02.440 There is a race of people that go across the Atlantic and rowboats.

01:37:06.080 That's stupid.

01:37:07.000 There's airplanes now.

01:37:08.000 But anyway, so what he wants to put together is this team.

01:37:13.260 He's got a group of guys that they're all vets.

01:37:16.300 And this would be the first all U.S. veteran team to ever row across the Atlantic.

01:37:23.540 Bo is joining us now with this crazy idea.

01:37:28.460 And welcome to the program, Bo.

01:37:30.240 How are you?

01:37:31.620 I'm doing good.

01:37:32.320 How are you doing, Glenn?

01:37:33.060 Good.

01:37:34.080 So, Bo, do you feel comfortable at all talking a little bit about your journey here after service?

01:37:42.780 Sure.

01:37:43.340 Sure.

01:37:43.840 Absolutely.

01:37:45.140 What would you like to know?

01:37:46.720 Well, I mean, I obviously know it all.

01:37:48.360 But I mean, can you, in a nutshell, talk a little bit about the struggle that you went through

01:37:53.800 and so many of your friends have gone through, PTSD and everything else when you come back home?

01:38:00.480 Sure, yeah.

01:38:01.120 Yeah, you know, coming back is difficult for everybody, I think, and everybody deals with

01:38:07.360 it in their own ways.

01:38:09.200 I certainly had, you know, some of my own struggles.

01:38:13.400 Yeah, substance abuse was one of them.

01:38:16.040 Just disconnected from my family and anybody who cared about me.

01:38:20.980 And it was quite the journey to get to where I'm at today.

01:38:25.880 Um, and, uh, we see it in every, all of our friends, all of our, our brothers and sisters

01:38:32.720 that are coming back, you know, and suicide is, is a, is a big one.

01:38:37.580 Um, and that's, that's what this whole rowing journey is about.

01:38:41.880 Right.

01:38:42.380 You've named this, uh, row or, I'm sorry, fight or A-O-R, die. 1.00

01:38:47.720 Um, and, you know, we have a history of suicide in, in our family, me with my mom, you with

01:38:54.280 your father and friends, uh, now that are coming back that are killing themselves.

01:39:01.420 So you've put together, tell me about the team that you've put together.

01:39:04.680 Who are these guys?

01:39:05.500 So, uh, we have Alex Evans, Bryant Knight and Chris Kuntz and, uh, Alex and I served

01:39:13.060 together overseas.

01:39:14.380 And then, uh, over the years I've met Bryant and Chris, uh, it's paratroopers, army rangers

01:39:20.740 and special forces guys.

01:39:22.660 And, um, you know, all of us have, have dealt with, with these problems ourselves and see

01:39:28.160 it in every, every one of our, our brothers or sisters that have, that have done the same.

01:39:32.400 So, so you get into a boat and it's not just like a row boat.

01:39:36.340 This is an amazing boat.

01:39:37.580 You get into, um, a boat and you row, um, for 50 straight days.

01:39:45.320 It's crazy, but this boat is a different kind of boat.

01:39:50.540 Can you explain what it is?

01:39:52.900 Sure.

01:39:53.520 So the boat is, uh, it's, it's designed specifically for ocean rowing.

01:39:57.720 Um, it has, uh, basically two small cabins in it so that you can sleep, um, and, and all

01:40:04.280 of your navigation and whatnot is, is, is in those areas as well.

01:40:08.900 Um, for our boat, it's a four man boat.

01:40:11.460 So we'll have three rowing stations.

01:40:13.080 Um, we plan on rowing two guys at a time and it rotates every two hours.

01:40:18.180 Um, then those, the boats, you know, they have solar panels and water makers.

01:40:23.720 So, and it's a hundred percent self-sustained.

01:40:26.380 So all of our food and water and everything is on the boat when we go, um, it's about a

01:40:31.440 28 foot boat that we're going to take across the ocean.

01:40:35.120 So, so, uh, you want to do this and it's not just for you.

01:40:38.980 When you come back, the thing that really, um, excited me about this is when you come back,

01:40:44.620 you're going to be the first, um, all U S veteran team to ever do this.

01:40:49.700 Uh, but when you come back, you want other vets to do this.

01:40:55.380 Yes, absolutely.

01:40:56.600 We, we, as you know, fight or die, our team, um, we're not just rowing it to, to go do it

01:41:03.280 ourselves.

01:41:04.000 Uh, we, we want to start, you know, we're, we're trying to spark a fire in the veterans 0.99

01:41:08.760 in the country to get involved, to start doing this stuff, to, to take action, you know, and

01:41:14.320 help, help out your brothers and sisters, because there's a lot of great organizations out

01:41:19.140 there, but, uh, we're, we're not winning this fight, you know, when, when we come back

01:41:24.300 and we want to win.

01:41:25.280 And so we want everybody to start getting involved.

01:41:28.940 If, you know, if you're a veteran, it doesn't matter what branch, uh, how long ago you served

01:41:35.060 it, you know, to us, we just, we need to get the team back together, so to speak, and

01:41:39.380 start helping each other out because, you know, nobody's, I, we just, we need to get that

01:41:46.500 team back together and, and help each other like we used to.

01:41:50.440 So here's how you can help.

01:41:52.400 You can go to the website, usvetrow.com, usvetrow.com.

01:42:00.560 They've got kind of a tight window here.

01:42:02.660 By August 18th, um, they need to raise, what is it, 50,000, uh, by August 18th.

01:42:10.540 So they have to raise $50,000 to be able to get the boat.

01:42:14.020 This, this competition, this race actually happens in December.

01:42:19.380 And again, if they can make it this December, they will be the first U.S., uh, all U.S. 0.52

01:42:24.760 veteran team to, uh, to attempt this and hopefully you would win.

01:42:29.500 Um, but, uh, they need your help to raise money for the boat.

01:42:34.280 And then, again, they have a, uh, you can find it on the website at, um, usvetrow.com.

01:42:41.000 Uh, they have a plan to actually have this go on in perpetuity to be able to help, um, our

01:42:48.140 vets.

01:42:48.480 And I, I will tell you the things that, that work with our vets.

01:42:53.160 I know people who have started hunting camps.

01:42:56.060 You, you've talked about that, um, well, you've helped on some of those, um, but, uh, you

01:43:02.140 know, they started hunting camps.

01:43:03.420 It's, it's a different way.

01:43:05.280 Our vets recover in different ways.

01:43:07.780 If you said to me, Hey, by the way, you feeling a little down, good, get your ass in a boat.

01:43:12.540 We're going to row across the ocean.

01:43:14.240 I think that would push me over the edge, but for the vets, it works.

01:43:19.100 Um, so find out, uh, all about it.

01:43:21.320 And if you can help, um, please do fight or die.

01:43:24.720 Oh, thanks.

01:43:25.480 I'm, I'm proud of you.

01:43:26.740 And I am so proud of the progress that you have made.

01:43:30.260 You have gone through hell, um, and, uh, came out the other side, a man, your father

01:43:36.940 would be very proud of.

01:43:41.180 Thanks, Glenn.

01:43:42.460 Appreciate it, Beau.

01:43:43.420 Bye-bye.

01:43:47.060 Find out all the information at glennbeck.com.

01:43:50.320 We, uh, spoke earlier this week about, remember, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and, uh, and the,

01:43:57.060 the chalkboard that we outlined for you over the last couple of days.

01:44:01.320 If you've missed it, just go to glennbeck.com and you can find it.

01:44:04.140 We, we did the chalkboard on television on Wednesday and yesterday we did it here on

01:44:08.880 television and tried to explain this timeline of this I.T.

01:44:13.760 I don't even know what you would call it.

01:44:15.360 Crime family of some sort.

01:44:17.800 Something was going on with the DNC's, uh, you know, and Democratic congressman's I.T.

01:44:25.220 department.

01:44:25.880 Started with one guy, started, uh, with, uh, uh, the one congressman in Florida, then jumped

01:44:33.540 to Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

01:44:36.380 And the, the best case scenario is that this family and group of friends from Pakistan, they

01:44:45.480 were, they were all, um, people that seemed to have a streak of larceny in them.

01:44:53.500 Uh, they have tried to blackmail others in the past, uh, with what little we know.

01:45:01.160 So the best case scenario is they got in to Congress.

01:45:05.000 They started finding out information through, uh, access granted to them, uh, on their email

01:45:12.800 servers and they started blackmailing the congressman just for money, uh, and not necessarily for

01:45:21.100 any other reason overseas.

01:45:24.180 Then it looks like they hit financial trouble.

01:45:27.020 Now this family, there's six of them and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, uh, and the Democrats were

01:45:32.540 paying them $4 million.

01:45:34.640 They were making salaries of $120,000 and above when the top salary in that category in Congress

01:45:42.960 is 40 to 60,000.

01:45:45.220 So they're, they're making double the, the highest paid person I.T.

01:45:49.660 And they keep hiring their friends.

01:45:51.280 Some of them like literally right from McDonald's.

01:45:54.240 Yeah.

01:45:54.380 And if you're a blaze TV subscriber, which of course you should be, uh, if you're there,

01:45:58.640 go watch the chalkboard.

01:46:00.300 We did it on radio and you did it on the TV show about this story because it's a very

01:46:05.180 difficult one to kind of like not be able to, to, to, to understand without conceptualizing

01:46:09.800 it visually, you kind of have to see that timeline.

01:46:12.260 But when you see this, the, the, what it's all laid out like this, none of it makes any

01:46:17.060 sense.

01:46:17.420 I mean, there's obviously something missing major in the story.

01:46:20.700 Yeah, not that you can't, the, the best case scenario is in my opinion, and correct

01:46:25.440 me if I'm wrong, Stu, what this Debbie Wasserman Schultz story is best case scenario.

01:46:30.300 Group of people who are just grifters and they come in, they get a foot in the door

01:46:35.600 of Congress and all they're going to do is just start blackmailing people.

01:46:39.740 Um, and it's no national secrets.

01:46:42.420 They're not doing it against the United States or anything else.

01:46:45.120 They're just blackmailing people.

01:46:47.000 They want money.

01:46:47.820 Then they start spending that money and it gets out of control.

01:46:51.660 They have to declare bankruptcy.

01:46:53.040 See, then somebody overseas calls the lead guy, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, IT guy.

01:47:02.400 He goes over to Beirut.

01:47:04.000 He meets with a guy who's connected to Hezbollah.

01:47:06.760 That guy we know gave him a hundred thousand dollars as an investment.

01:47:10.780 Okay, so perhaps at that point, Hezbollah, somebody overseas is saying, hey, we'll help you out, but

01:47:21.900 you got to get us some information.

01:47:25.100 That's the best case scenario.

01:47:27.160 Worst case scenario, these guys who now the family is over in Pakistan, the main ringleader 1.00

01:47:34.180 is here in America.

01:47:35.960 Um, but the worst case scenario is this is full-fledged espionage.

01:47:41.500 Uh, and they were blackmailing several of our Congress people.

01:47:45.980 Here's Debbie Wasserman Schultz, her latest comment on this.

01:47:50.080 Now, remember, I just gave you, am I right, Stu?

01:47:54.180 That's the best case scenario you can think.

01:47:55.240 Not as good as it can get.

01:47:56.180 I mean, remember, the other part, he was arrested for bank fraud.

01:47:59.300 And so, at the very least, we think bank fraud has been done, but it looks much worse.

01:48:03.540 I want you to hear what Debbie Wasserman Schultz, she is still defending this guy. 1.00

01:48:08.940 Not only, I believe that I did the right thing, and I would do it again.

01:48:15.400 Because, as I said at the beginning of this conversation, there are times when you can't

01:48:19.320 be afraid to stand alone, and you have to stand up for what's right.

01:48:22.740 And, you know, even in the face, you have to, there are times you have to spend political

01:48:27.260 capital to do what's right.

01:48:28.960 Like I said, the easier thing to do for me would have been to just fire him.

01:48:32.700 Obviously, I was the person who's had the most political challenges in the last year,

01:48:37.120 so it would have been much easier for me to just cut him loose and say, you know, I'm

01:48:41.700 going to look out for my best interests rather than stand up for what I believe in.

01:48:46.600 But I have to be able to look at myself in the mirror every day.

01:48:49.540 Unreal.

01:48:50.320 And if there's one thing I'm going to make sure that I maintain is my integrity.

01:48:56.700 Oh, my God.

01:48:57.700 What are you fighting for?

01:48:59.640 Wow.

01:49:00.040 Because this is obviously, you can apply that defense to numerous amounts of issues, but

01:49:05.900 why this one?

01:49:06.640 Yeah.

01:49:07.020 When he's been so shady, and there's been clear violations like bank fraud.

01:49:11.460 Yeah.

01:49:11.620 No, I mean, there's clear bank fraud.

01:49:16.000 His wife, you know, escaped the country and is now under the protection of the Pakistani

01:49:21.320 government.

01:49:22.360 Something is not right here.

01:49:24.300 She's saying, she's not saying, hey, I did the right thing at the time, but I didn't have

01:49:28.900 all of the evidence.

01:49:29.880 What she's saying is, I'd do exactly the same thing today.

01:49:33.960 I'd make the same choices knowing what I know now.

01:49:37.960 I'd still, I've got to back him up.

01:49:39.880 I still back him.

01:49:41.220 I do it because I wanted to do the right thing, which makes, are they just so close?

01:49:46.120 Like, I was so close friends with this guy, I would never believe he did anything wrong,

01:49:50.020 and I don't think he did.

01:49:51.120 If that's true, why are you firing him now?

01:49:53.440 If you believe he was innocent, you know what?

01:49:55.640 You might suspend his salary while he's in jail, but something weird.

01:49:59.820 Something really wrong here.

01:50:02.280 All right.

01:50:02.660 Our sponsor this half hour is Goldline.

01:50:05.420 This is a really frightening stat.

01:50:07.980 You need to pay attention to this one stat.

01:50:09.920 It just came out.

01:50:11.380 People have stopped saving for a rainy day.

01:50:15.180 The U.S. now has the household savings ratio has fallen to 3.8% on a net basis.

01:50:22.320 The monthly ratio is savings as a percentage of disposable income.

01:50:28.820 So, what you have is disposable income.

01:50:31.580 You're saving anything.

01:50:32.640 It's now down to 3.8%.

01:50:34.060 The only other time this has happened was right before the 2008 financial crash.

01:50:39.600 People are not saving, and it's not just because they don't have money to save.

01:50:47.860 They're spending it.

01:50:49.880 We're in another reckless bubble.

01:50:51.780 Please, please, consider all of your options, and look, this could be the big one.

01:51:01.240 Look at what is coming and how you're protecting yourself.

01:51:06.300 Please.

01:51:06.840 For as little as $2,500, you're going to get three months of price protection all the way up to a year for $25,000 of investment in physical gold that you hold.

01:51:16.680 Goldline is extending its price protection programs right now.

01:51:40.800 Yeah, so Gizmodo just, you know, they published a story.

01:51:44.500 You know, there's this thing about their robots at Facebook, you know, communicating with each other in a language that humans, you know, didn't understand.

01:51:51.460 It's a story we just gave you, and they're trying to debunk it, but they're actually saying the same thing that I am.

01:51:57.080 This is not a, this was not anything nefarious with AI.

01:52:00.540 This was not anything that is of any consequence now.

01:52:05.340 This was an experiment on negotiation.

01:52:09.720 What happened was the AI robots started talking to each other in shorthand, a language that we didn't understand.

01:52:17.600 When they stopped everything, the conversation was, and should be, should we allow computers to develop their own language when they speak to each other, a language that we don't understand?

01:52:31.680 That's the question.

01:52:33.680 The answer, no.
